But I was told Biden was old and this should be my primary concern—is this not true???

Well it only gets worse if you don’t. Sorry to tell ya. But if you’d rather work out your anxiety issues by complaining at people on here, go for it. You’re only working against yourself

You get a chance to pick the politicians who will replace the justices who established presidents as kings as law. That’s how elections work

Also, there’s no world where Biden drops out, sans actually dying. The feed is wild. That’s your candidate—go support his ass against the fascist!

ADMITTEDLY Will’s been more self-aware and tolerable recently. I actually don’t have him muted here

People can also right blame Hayes for foisting Stancil on the feed: when Will was at his most insufferable it was Chris who primarily Retweeted him (alongside Beutler and Bouie) to amplify all the “Dems are fucking it up again!” BS from 2017-2022

Additionally, he and my mom lived outside Philly in the 80s when Biden was a senator and Rendell was Philly’s DA and they love both of them. So they are certainly the former Republicans who’ll vote for Biden this year—and they actually vote every election!

Oh totally. My dad was a pro-business Republican with firm liberal cultural views (he’s from suburban Canton/Akron so checks out), but 2016 made him just realize he’s actually a left-of-center Democrat who probably should’ve just voted for Obama twice

This is my dad. I think there are more Boomers than we imagine who went this route. Not saying my dad’s a full-on Wine Mom but he’ll only vote for Dems now

It’s like this in Cleveland but you still want those units because those, say, residents from rich families at the Cleveland Clinic that would otherwise buy a home in Cleveland Heights will now just rent in a luxury building instead, opening up more supply here

I just opened this app after a shitty day at work and forgot this site is populated by the all the cynical keyboard strategists from Twitter who’ve been gnashing teeth that their political strategy is ALWAYS right. Like, how is their first takeaway here, “Dems will fuck this up.” HOW?!

I learned via a former profile subject that my entire First We Feast archive—including features and good blogs—was wiped a few weeks ago. I mean, I know the site became Hot Ones Inc. but I’d hoped the site that once won a James Beard would’ve kept some its previous work. Guess not!

Swin and Chris Hayes are scare-mongering each other on the timeline this morning but I still think Trump’s damp-and-clammy second act sharts out worse than 2020. I think there is a chance it’s called for Biden on election night because Trump’s not getting any better

500 Days of Summer, Garden State, all of them have aged insanely poorly—except their soundtracks, which are still kinda good.

God dammit. In my early-20s I lived off Wyckoff Street and Smith Street to me was the only bar street in America that spoke to my soul like Court Street in Athens, Ohio, which is my ideal drinking street. Just so many fun places to pop in and out of with a group of friends that wasn’t too pricy

Relatedly, I will be supremely depressed if I hear Boat Bar (Ethan Hawke’s go-to) or Wing Bar ever shut down. Smith Street ftw!

Nah, that wasn’t it. I forget its name. Fwiw, when I lived in NYC I was firmly a Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy guy, so I’m still morning the Kelso taproom shutting down in 2016

My troll take is that the sum of notable Hungarian achievement in the last century is Ferenc Puskas and anything that came from the Cleveland Hungarian community. The country itself is notable for nothing else

My biggest, perhaps completely uninformed takeaway, is that this era of Silicon Valley tech “innovation” has legitimately only produced better marketing technologies and nothing more. And that’s a euphemistic description for all of the negatives these companies have wrought

Astead’s really done a face turn. He was a phenomenal young reporter and then either saw how lucrative it was to tow the NYT line or got high off his own supply and went to Cohn/Silver route with pundit brain. His weird fixation on the bogus age issue is so, so disappointing

Hard to state how much goodwill she’s squandered because she went full anti-Lib on the timeline. She might’ve always been this kooky, but I now strain to remember her singular cool accomplishment, which was ripping the Stars and Bars from the flagpole in Columbia
