In a campaign, the thing you can never get more of is time. This kerfuffle has wasted so much already and switching candidates would cost much more. People pushing narratives about Trump’s Project 2025, Supreme Court corruption, and abortion are drowned out by idiots shittalking their own nominee.

WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

Yeah. Many people I respect have told me that "City of Thieves" by Benioff is excellent. It's their collaborative work that really seems to shit the bed.

I've seen some gravestones where it looks for all the world like someone filled in just one or two incorrect letters with *something* and re-engraved, and all I can say is it doesn't age well.

At the size of the largest businesses in the US, there is no “economy of scale” benefit to consolidation. They are at maximum economy of scale. They’re already behemoths. The benefit of consolidation is just that fewer people get a choice, and so they get all the money.

But, this also gives you tools. Cancel subs, call on people to cancel, and call on people to drop news from their cable packages. Start calling en masse, in a way that hits their bottom line, and they'll panic. Look, just a 5% drop in profit in a quarter will cause extreme panic. Now is the time.

The nightmare for the business-class Trump boosters isn't a slow economy - a slow economy is full of desperate people they can exploit! - but a booming one where workers they steal from or sexually harrass can tell them "fuck you" and walk across the street for better pay.

I have very little hope in a "this is wrong" face turn. But the "people hate us going on about trans people and think it's weird as fuck that we keep doing it" has been staring Tories, the GOP and Australian rightists in the face for the past ten years. Admittedly, they've still not clocked it yet!

Bohemian Rhapsody. Super complex song and yet somehow you know all the words. And there's a great video out there somewhere of a huge crowd of people at a Greenday concert (I think) who all spontaneously sang it together as one.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

The last Monarch to actually make it into the Commons was the current King's grandad. He was allowed to come in and look at the work to rebuild it after it was heavily damaged by German bombing. Parliament was sitting over the road at the time, so every agreed it didn't violate the agreement.

People are right often when they say ‘politically Britain is becoming just as bad as America’ but Sunak’s speech shows an important way in which is hasn’t. A number of ways actually. To be able to move frictionlessly between governments may be boring, but it’s so, so important.

SCOTUS enabled an imperial presidency that is indistinguishable from a kingship and did so in a way that, if he wins, *will not be undone without buckets of fucking blood* in our lifetime. you’re not hearing about that, but you should, and you should be fucking murderously angry that you aren’t.

It's a bit problematic how Biden has (a) narrow, limited power to have his agency draw up a student loan forgiveness process consistent with the statutes passed by Congress; but (b) complete immunity to tell everyone at Dept of Edu, "mark those loans as $0 or I'll put you in a pine box."

Do it. If it fails; as it probably will; try not to dwell on it. Let those memories fade; but don't EVER think, "If I'd done it better". Because you can't. It's what it is, and sometimes (most times) it's too late; even a crash cart wouldn't have saved them. You have to try. Then let it go.

I have two things to say about CPR. Actually 3. 1. Learn CPR. If you can't take a formal class for time/money reasons, go watch shit online. 2. You won't harm someone by performing CPR if they need CPR. You cannot make someone more dead. 3. Most CPR fails. Do it anyway.

Outreach by people with close connections is the only thing that's ever conclusively worked to deradicalize people and pull them out of high-control cults, and as a woman and a Catholic, Sotomayor is well positioned to pull Barrett out of the high-control cult of the Catholic charismatic church.
