Biden has a bad debate night: calls to step down Documents released that show two underage women accused Trump of raping them on Epstein’s island, under oath: total media silence except in a few blogs and foreign news The media double standard is incredible to see

I'm sorry but at this stage, people who aren't committed to voting this November for the not-fascists are succumbing to the same mindset that influencers selling "natural" remedies to cancer patients peddle as good. Very unpleasant chemotherapy treatment sucks but is better than dying.

One of the most pointless hills I will die on is that "boneless wings" are a silly name for what is basically just presauced chicken nuggets. They can be absolutely delicious! But they are not deboned wings in the same way a "boneless chicken breast" is literally just a boneless chicken breast.

i don't know whether AOCs call for impeaching the justices will be the right one (it doesn't have a chance in hell of getting through), but the conversation has to start with congress, who are prime offenders in letting the court get to this point, and i'm encouraged someone there recognizes that

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).

Realistically I think you should probably expect that a third of the parliament of any European country are likely to be insane people from now on. The goal is to keep that the ceiling. This may be pessimistic but this is linked to that being the proportion of our citizens which are insane

Everything's complicated and my hesitation about replacing Biden up to now has been informed by polls showing other candidates not doing much better. But a lot of people seem remarkably certain that Harris specifically could not win a general election for reasons I think they should say out loud.

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

this is a new one. I have heard online that there are supposedly parts of the country where "coke" is used as a generic term for soda in general (Pepsi, Sprite, Fanta, anything sweet and carbonated) although I have never actually encountered any evidence of this IRL. 1/2

honestly, I don't think the debate is going to affect Biden's numbers for the same reason I don't think being convicted of 34 crimes is affecting Trump's. Voters are just so partisan these days. 90% of them made up their minds which way to vote this November years ago and aren't gonna change.

Seems notable that on the two abortion cases -- the two most likely to cause political backlash in November -- the court dismissed on standing, a result that quells the anger, but doesn't stop it from taking a more extremist position later.

the climate story right now is in a very weird state of flux a) the warming we've priced in is bad and really starting to show itself b) the renewable story is astoundingly good and getting better we are left with "warming is going to get worse but almost certainly not as much as it could have"

Wealth inequality has significantly improved over Biden’s presidency, in large part because times are so good for young people. Unfortunately young people are also spending more time learning about and being mad at wealth inequality, so they’re acting as if times were worse than before.
