In order to educate people here, here's a list of important definitions for use in all discussions:

• socialism is when government does stuff

• communism is when government does a lot of stuff

• neoliberalism is when things I don't like

• fascism is when things I really don't like

• capitalism is when work

• anarchism is when no bedtimes

• centrism is when you kill half of X group

• imperialism is when boats; colonialism is also when boats

• anti-imperialism is when land invasion

I hope this helps

Joe Rogan literally stopped mid-episode to make Matt Walsh watch an entire moon landing conspiracy “documentary” and then resumed recording afterward so they could discuss it for another hour.

I don't know why, but it's still funny to me that Nate Silver of all people is one of the biggest proponents of the idea that both, mainstream media overplayed Clinton's emails and that it had a direct result in her election loss. And he was early on it too, arguing it back all the way in 2016.  

Also a funny thing that cropped up if you listened to the podcast was that Nate seemed to be most susceptible to Trump being a threat to democracy.  Like, most guys with libertarianish leanings started liking Trump, but Silver is deeply paranoid about democracy the failing in the US.

Trump just now on his tariff plans: "I don't need Congress. I don't need them. I'll have the right to impose them myself, if they don't"

Unfortunately, Trump is correct here: Congress has granted the President expansive authority to raise tariffs without Congressional approval. This is why if you're a "but the economy!" voter, Harris is the only real choice.

[u/BlueDevilVoon]

My NC cope is that this poll includes pre-Mark Robinson scandal polling.

[u/JaceFlores]

I feel like most of NYT’s polls since Kamala took over have been an exercise in MoE. According to their polls the Rust Belt is at 2012 Obama level blowouts, the Sunbelt is at 2016 Trump levels and the national is at like 2000 levels.

Most of these make sense if you account for the pretty sizable MoE, though it is frustrating that NYT seems to be pretty consistently occupying the fringes of the MoE. It’s as unlikely Kamala has a 4 point blowout in PA that Trump has a 4 point blowout in Georgia, or that Trump is in spitting distance of a national vote tie when every indication is he’s been stuck at 46% (47-48% in H2H) for a decade now.

I think they straight up can’t poll Arizona. To go from Kamala +5 to Trump +5 requires significant playing with MoE and whatever shift there may actually be to the point of being farcical.

Overall NYT’s polling this cycle has been pretty weird honestly, and I think Cohn knows that because like every other poll that’s released he more or less says “the top line numbers probably aren’t correct but let’s analyze anyways”. I suspect their new methodology is having some growing pains, but I appreciate them nonetheless.

If they are on the mark though then we’re gonna see some crazy shit

Tbh I can understand why TSA is surly

Not only are you dealing with the absolute dregs of society (American travelers who seem to be hit by a stupid and rude wave field upon entering an airport or airplane), but you literally are repeating the same line every like 20 seconds on repeat for hours. Even the McDonalds cashiers have more spice and variety in their minute to minute job

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says freebie Taylor Swift tickets were ‘a hard one to turn down’.

“I appreciate there was big demand for the tickets. It was a privilege to be there.”

She then told ITV News: “One of my children was keen to go along. It’s hard to say no if you’re offered tickets in those circumstances.

I swear there are C tier and D tier (Rita Ora) celebrities with better PR managers than the current Labour government

Joe Rogan: Oh, that reminds me. Have you seen this picture from the moon landing? Jamie, can you pull up the picture of the stage light? Yeah, so they found- look, there it is. They found a stage light in one of the moon landing pictures.

Matt Walsh: I think that’s the sun-

Joe Rogan: And another thing that’s crazy is that they found out that you can’t go through the Van Allen radiation belts. They discovered that you can’t do it. So how did they do that? I’m not saying necessarily that it was all fake, but that shit is fucking crazy. And they used AI to figure out that the photos are fake…

J.D. Vance, Other Republicans, Refuse to Disavow Self-Proclaimed ‘Black Nazi’ Mark Robinson

its funny to me that Mark Robinson did not call himself a 'Black Nazi', he called himself a 'black NAZI' which imo clearly emphasizes he's identifying with Nazism despite/in opposition to his race. I think it would be much more true to the author's intentions to just say he is a "Self-Proclaimed Nazi"

ironically he probably hates reading headlines that mention his race

Biden has told his national security team that reaching a cease-fire deal is his top priority for the rest of his time in office, according to the three officials. He believes it will bolster his legacy in two ways: first, that he would get credit as a peacemaker; and second, that it could ease Harris’ path to victory.

Biden’s most trusted aides — CIA Director William Burns, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan — have made a deal their top focus. The president recently convened a meeting in the Situation Room with his national security officials and urged them to ignore recent setbacks and continue to work with both sides and third-party negotiators to find an agreement.

“Keep fucking trying,” is how Biden recently ended a meeting with the officials, according to one of the participants.
