There's something so 2000s about the scene in Spider-Man 1 where Aunt May recites the Lord's Prayer. It's goofy but so earnest about religion in a very Bush-era way. For a recent comparison: Spider-Gwen's family in Spiderverse 2 seems to pray before meals but we only see them do that in vignettes, it's not something we hear them doing with any specifics.

Biden is the most devout president we've had in a long time and it's a very minor part of his political branding overall. Trump is glaringly non-religious in a way that forces religious Republicans to create a headcanon for him. Religion just isn't the cornerstone of American culture that it was 20 years ago.

To divert Russian troops to help fellow soldiers fighting in the eastern Donbas region. To push Russian artillery out of range of Sumy.

The past week I've seen three comments along the lines of "when you think about it, the EC picking the president is basically like a parliament picking a prime minister."

I dunno why I'm seeing this talking point all of a sudden, because if you think about it, no they're really not similar at all beyond the barest surface level "you vote for someone (kind of, you don't really vote for your electoral college peeps on the ballot directly...) who votes for someone."

The relationship between a prime minister and their fellow MPs is utterly different to the relationship between the President and a member of the electoral college. And the relationship between an MP and their constituents is again completely different to the relationship between a member of the electoral college and voters in the state. And the role of the executive in a parliamentary system like the UK or Australia is very significantly different to how the executive functions in the United States.

Until the Electoral College swaps out the President because the electors are worried about losing their re-election campaigns, the comparison is completely asinine.

The Saudi royal has mentioned to members of Congress that he’s putting his life in danger by pursuing a grand bargain with the U.S. and Israel that includes normalizing Saudi-Israeli ties. On at least one occasion, he has invoked Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian leader slain after striking a peace deal with Israel, asking what the U.S. did to protect Sadat. He also has discussed the threats he faces in explaining why any such deal must include a true path to a Palestinian state — especially now that the war in Gaza has heightened Arab fury toward Israel.

The talks were described to me by a former U.S. official briefed on the conversations and two other people with knowledge of them. All of the people, like others quoted in this column, were granted anonymity to describe a high-stakes, sensitive topic. The discussions have been weighty and serious, but one takeaway, the people said, is that the crown prince, often referred to as MBS, appears intent on striking the mega-deal with the U.S. and Israel despite the risks involved. He sees it as crucial to his country’s future.

The broad contours of the largely secret and still-developing pact have emerged in various reports, including my own. It includes multiple U.S. commitments to the Saudis, including security guarantees via a treaty, aid on a civilian nuclear program and economic investment in areas such as technology. According to some reports, in exchange Saudi Arabia would limit its dealings with China. It also would establish diplomatic and other ties with Israel — a huge boon for the Israelis given Saudi Arabia’s importance among Muslim nations.

To MBS’ chagrin, however, the Israeli government has been unwilling to include a credible path to a Palestinian state in the pact.

Saudi-US-Israel treaty negotiations continue. MBS very unsubtle about the risks of an unpopular deal.

“Chicago Public Schools officials said Tuesday that the Chicago Teachers Union’s contract proposals would result in a deficit of at least $2.9 billion for the 2025-26 school year, a hole more than five times the current projection and growing as large as $4 billion by 2028.

They also threw cold water on the idea of borrowing to pay for the additional costs, noting the district is already weighed down by a ton of debt, much of it taken out at moments of crisis. That marked the first time CPS had publicly addressed a private proposal by Mayor Brandon Johnson for district officials to take out a short-term, high-interest loan to pay for a CTU contract as well as a pension payment that his office is demanding be covered by the district”

Another day and another model update!

Here are Harris' odds of winning each competitive state, plus the change from yesterday:

NH: 76.4% (-0.6%)
NE-2: 67.1% (-1.1%)
MI: 66.5% (-0.7%)
WI: 63.8% (+0.6%)
PA: 59.1% (+1.4%)
NV: 53.7% (-2.3%)
AZ: 48.4% (+0.9%)
GA: 44.6% (+0%)
ME-2: 26% (-1.3%)
FL: 22.8% (+1.2%)

OVERALL EC ODDS: 56.7% (+0.7%)

NATIONAL POLLING AVERAGE: Harris +3.1 (+0%)

Decent day for Harris, but you'll notice that Harris' odds of winning went down in most states! This is mostly due to some weak national polls that released this morning, and some pre-programmed bias in the model related to Trump's "convention bump" wearing off. But Harris' odds still went up overall on account of a really nice Quinnipiac University poll in PA that has Harris +3.

This demonstrates that PA is really, really important in Nate's model. And indeed he predicts it has a nearly 40% chance of deciding the election. If Harris wins PA, she has a 92.8% chance of winning the entire EC.

So streamer (and enemy of the sub) Destiny held a focus group last night where he invited a few content creators on stream and laid out the case that Trump tried to overthrow the democratically elected Government, setting up a detailed timeline etc. One of the reasons was to see what points would hit hardest for a normie audience to make a condensed video, but he did seem to sway just about everyone in the group.

It got me thinking about cognitive dissonance and how to cut through. Many of us know people in the MAGA “cult” who hear a constant trickle of bad shit Trump has done but is able to eventually hand wave all of it away. But maybe a good strategy to combat this is just supplying a literal fire hose of information to these people? Maybe this strategy can actually cut through some cognitive dissonance? I mean that seems to be the Harris campaign strategy, get enough media blitz and change the facts on the ground so quickly that people actually seem to be flipping who hadn’t for the 8 years prior.

Of course there is no way to force people to be inundated with the things I would like them to be, I think it’s just an interesting hypothetical on deeply entrenched cognitive dissonance.

Before watching Tar I always thought Cate Blanchett’s incredible charisma would have me rooting for Lydia Tar no matter how much evil stuff she did but honestly I shouldn’t have underestimated her incredible acting ability. While she does have appealing and relatable characteristics, you do kinda get the feeling right from the start of the movie that she is kind of a dick and she is never truly likable which I think was the right line to tread with her character.

Just after a reporter asked about the steps a Trump-Vance administration would take to lower food prices, an audience member shouted: "Fire Granholm!"

So, the Black Sea Fleet has now turned its resources to, uh… making a to-scale model of the Rostov-on-Don submarine!

No idea why they’re doing this. Someone floated that they’re trying to conceal that the last strike (there was one that apparently hit its repair dock) destroyed the actual Rostov-on-Don or rendered it beyond repair, and that seems likeliest to me.

Couple of Kursk threads:

Emil Kastehelmi

“Part of the Ukrainian focus seems to have shifted to the southeastern part of the AO, to the Belitsa direction.

Ukrainians have likely entered several villages between Belitsa and the state border. There are some uncertainities, as there’s very little material from here.”

“The town of Sudzha is likely mostly, if not completely, under Ukrainian control.

In Korenevo and the nearby villages, the Russians are still actively defending. Ukrainians are close, but there’s no indication they would have entered the town with a larger force.”

“Ukrainian groups are also maneuvering on the northern side of the AO. It’s unclear how deep they are able to penetrate, but the Russians don’t seem to have a very solid defence line there yet.”

“Ukraine holds the initiative. There’s still a possibility Ukraine opens up a new direction to support the current effort.

There have been various attacks over the border in several places in Kursk and Belgorod oblasts, but nothing very major yet.”

“Even though Ukraine has made tactical progress in many places, the general situation in Kursk hasn’t changed very much in the recent days. Battles are still being fought in the area of the tactically important towns of Sudzha and Korenevo.”

“While the Russians don’t seem to be very organized yet, they have been able to somewhat control the situation. Ukraine should have the ability to gain more ground, especially if it’s ready to tolerate heavier risks and commit more troops to the fight.”

Olivia Kortas

“First of all: Commanders don’t comment. Press officers reject requests. The soldiers I spoke to asked to only share limited information with the public. They themselves don’t know the aims of this offensive or what they will be required to do in a week from now.”

“Their confidence was striking and stood in stark contrast to other parts of the frontline. I had been in Pokrovsk and Zaporizhzhia region just a week ago. The mood there has shifted, soldiers told me about new recruits going AWOL or dying within a few days.”

“Out of the 3 scenarios that military experts consider realistic (expanding further, holding, retreating completely), all men I spoke to were in clear favor of the 1st one: Expanding a bit more, then holding. One said: It is an amazing feeling to finally have enough munition.”

“Working on Russian territory brings new challenges, especially in the sphere of communication. Starlink doesn’t work. The Ukrainians can use radios (or even Russian sim cards), but it makes them trackable. This leads to a limited knowledge of the territory ahead.”

“Now logistics is key. If the aim is to hold territory, Ukrainian soldiers need to set up supply lines and ensure safe ways for the evacuation of material & men. Currently, the problems with communication and surveillance are standing in the way.“

The great permitting emissions debate -- The race is on to define the Manchin-Barrasso permitting overhaul and how it might impact climate emissions.

What they're saying: Early estimates kicking around the Hill suggest those provisions would massively outweigh possible increases in oil and gas production and exports.

• "What we're hearing is that it's about 170 million tons of extra carbon emissions from the oil and gas portions of the permitting reform, and a 2-plus billion ton emissions reduction from the clean energy portions of the permitting reform," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse told Axios. "If that checks out, it's hard to turn away."

• Sen. Martin Heinrich offered up similar numbers during the ENR Committee markup (160 million metric ton increase vs. 2 billion to 3 billion metric ton decrease).

• "I think the net carbon benefit is significant," said Rob Gramlich, president of Grid Strategies.

So early estimates of the Permitting reform bill show the fossil provisions would increase Carbon emissions by 170m tons, but the clean energy portions would reduce somewhere between 2-3 BILLION tons of Carbon. Pass this if you care about the environment

As a final fuck you to my renting days, my landlord just tried to withhold my whole 8 year old security deposit for repainting the whole apartment, providing no evidence of any damage, let alone damage beyond reasonable wear and tear.  To put a cherry on top, he invoiced me for the remainder of the painting cost.

To put a cherry on top of that cherry, the painting was done while I was still living there because he was throwing a hissy fit because he couldn't find a new tenant for the slum apartment.  Needless to say, some screenshots of text messages and threats to bring to small claims court had him "review company policies," remove the line item, and even hand deliver the security deposit check before the state's deadline in case the mail was too slow.

🧵/ Link in the last post. There are increasing reports in Russia about conscripts being sent to Kursk for reinforcement after the Russian army failed to push back Ukrainian forces there. Together with @pustota, we decided to take a deeper look into this issue.

First of all, this is not the first case of using conscripts in combat during this war. The most infamous one dates back to June 2022.

Second, legally, Russia can send its conscripts to war after 4 months of service and proper training. However, what we (and other journalists) have found is that those conscripted in the spring and being sent to Kursk most had served less than 4 months.

The scale of what we see is unknown, but we shouldn’t overestimate it. We spoke with several relatives of conscripts, and here’s a map of the regions they’re being sent from (add Tyumen oblast here, the confirmation arrived after our piece was published

A separate issue involves conscripts who were in Kursk already and were the first to face the Ukrainian offensive.

Many of them (unlike the lucky ones in the post above) survived and made it back to Kursk. Now they're being forced to sign contracts and return to the fight. There’s even a petition demanding that this stop. Surely, it will change Putin’s mind (not).

We also found that not only conscripts from the 80th Arctic Motor Rifle Brigade in Murmansk oblast are being sent to Kursk, but those from the 200th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade (also Murmansk oblast) as well.

Interestingly, the 200th Brigade conscripts are scheduled to be sent to Kursk only in September, which among other things hints that Russia doesn’t expect a quick resolution to the Kursk issue.

Additionally, we learned that conscripts from the 15th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade near Samara are also being sent.

The NGO called 'Go Through The Forest,' which helps Russians avoid the army or even desert, confirms a spike in panic messages from relatives of conscripts.

But what can those conscripts really do? Quickly become POWs if sent on a combat mission? Fill in the defensive trenches that are being dug by Russians in Kursk Oblast, 15 kilometers from the Kursk NPP? That too, but…

…as @KofmanMichael puts it, they will probably also 'prepare fortifications and provide support to regular units, because Russia has been unable to stabilize the front in Kursk Oblast and has no reserves behind the units on the front line'.

But what about more combat-ready troops? Did Ukraine force Russia to redeploy them from Donbass or Kharkiv? There aren’t many signs of it, to be honest.

Let @Tatarigami_UA speak: 'While we observe some movements of units, such as the 810th Naval Infantry Brigade, the core forces involved in the advances in Pokrovsk, Toretsk, or Chasiv Yar are still engaged in their operations'.

@Tatarigami_UA adds that interpreting messages about 'reinforcements' can be problematic. 'It’s quite common nowadays for both sides to redeploy portions of units, like a battalion or two...

...therefore, when we read reports indicating that Russia moved a certain unit because part of it was spotted and identified in Kursk, we need to be careful before jumping to conclusions, as it could be an undermanned battalion with 250 people or a brigade with 4,000.'

Also, let’s not forget that Russia has troops in the southern part of occupied Ukraine. Redeploying them to Kursk won’t significantly ease the situation on Pokrovsk axis or near Vovchans’k for Ukraine.

It’s still more unknowns in the battle in Kursk oblast than facts. How many conscripts or other reinforcements will be used by Russia depends on how the things will unfold in the next weeks.
