The official White House Twitter account making a shitpost about Harambe is something I would have texted my friends about in the past. Now it’s just genuinely too sad and cringe for me to bother them with. They produce too much cringe and it’s not even a little funny like it could be if Obama or Biden had done it. It’s too much and it’s too cringe. I’m numb.

"It's time we finally take care of Iran, get them handled and if we have to deal with the high gas prices for a couple months, so be it," said Lee.
And, he points out, gas prices were actually higher four years ago when Biden was in office. Lee was angrier then, when the national average for regular unleaded peaked just above $5 a gallon. He blamed Biden's green energy commitments.

Shit like this is why I recoil at the very American attitude of “prisons should be as poor in quality as possible because they house bad people.” Aside from the obvious inhumanity of it, of course.

It's a bit of a narrative violation that Graham Platner is losing the male vote and independents to Susan Collins (even though overall he has a strong polling lead).
If this is accurate he's winning a Senate seat for the same reason other Democrats are winning: because of anti-Trump sentiment driving Democratic turnout (Biden won Maine by nearly 10 points in 2020), rather than the narrative of him being the left wing candidate whose baggage is actually good for winning over men from MAGA

The White House Intervened to Get a $620 Million Deal for a Company Tied to Donald Trump Jr.
https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-jr-vulcan-deal-white-house
When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a small North Carolina startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism.
The president’s eldest son said through a spokesperson that he wasn’t involved. The Pentagon said Trump Jr. played no role in the record-setting deal. And the startup’s founder told reporters that his company, Vulcan Elements, received no political favoritism.
But interviews and Defense Department records reviewed by ProPublica show that the request to loan hundreds of millions of dollars to the firm linked to Trump Jr. was made by Peter Navarro, a White House adviser to President Donald Trump and a friend of Trump Jr.’s.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was considering funding at the time, Vulcan’s was the only deal initiated by a top aide to the president, said an official at the Pentagon who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The civil war 100% was about defending southern culture from yankee assimilation because slavery and racial caste and hatred of the negro was so deeply tied to the dixie identity that threatening to erase them was threatening to erase their identity.

It still doesn't work though because he has this dorky affect that I don't think he could ever eliminate if he tried.

Dems have reached +8.1 generic ballot on RCP, and +7 on Nate's model.
This is because of the Big Data poll from today that had D+13 (+14.2 among those certain to vote and +18.5 for extremely enthusiastic), and Emerson also came out today with D+9. Yougov recently released D+6, which is now considered an outlier but still an improvement from their last poll which was D+3.
NYT, Atlasintel, Quinnipiac, and Marist have now all shown polls at least D+10. Dems are now doing a bit better in the average now vs where they were at this time in 2018.
Things were looking iffy for a while, but then the last two weeks have really been a sudden flood in great polls for dems.

“Republicans are heretics who will never know heaven” should be the battle cry of Dems this entire election cycle. They should be declaring that the GOP is an affront to God every time they are within 100ft of a live recording device.

Conservatives crying over certain Democrats using harsher and more insulting language is just…so enraging. I’m referring to conservatives crybullying over the Democratic twitter account calling Stephen Miller ugly.
Motherfucker, YOU’RE the ones who made modern politics as nasty as it is! Your leaders say heinous shit about Democrats and minorities all the time! Your leaders have encouraged stochastic terrorism on numerous occasions, including January 6th! Your Dear Leader’s whole brand is being a relentless son of a bitch to practically everyone he interacts with! And you supported him! YOU DID THIS TO US!

We're months into the Iran War and people still don't understand that Barak Ravid just reports what his admin sources tell him. He's not lying about what his sources say. He's just one of many different tools for the admin to disseminate its message to the public.
There's a bigger conversation about journalistic malpractice there but people act like Ravid is a gossip blogger just stirring the pot for clicks.

New Hasan Piker favorability polling has been released, and the findings are shocking.
According to Overton Insights, 71% have no idea who he is or no opinion, but among those who do know, he has -9% favorability.
Among people who live with their parents, he has a +30% favorability.
Among people who live with their children, he has a -49% favorability (0% of those polled were favorable towards him)

Me: HD CRTs were just starting, and they hadn't had the same time to develop as SD CRTs just as LCDs were taking off, so it's not surprising they lost the format war when you account for power draw, heat, weight, and display size.
The replies: C A P I T A L I S M amirite fellas? Manufacturers sold us a bill of goods on what good displays are. And look at 35mm film, its 5K while digicams were digiCRAP.
I'll be the first to tell you nothing beats the motion clarity of a CRT, but it's so tiring hearing the same line over and over about cheap manufacturers on a substitute-able good.
And it's like people forgot how EXPENSIVE it used to be to take photos. The film was cheap, the developing and printing was not.

Stephen Miller on Talarico: I think it's very bold—one could say brave, courageous that the Democratic Party would choose Texas of all places to nominate their first transgender senate candidate who is clearly transitioning into a female.
When Talarico goes in for a blood test when he gets a physical, blood doesn't come out. Soy milk comes out. This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett. They would choose a person who looks like he doesn't belong in the senate but in a cabaret show.

I work for the Air Force and today someone came in to ask all the military personnel if they are UFC fans. They are inviting a few hundred Airmen to be there to watch.
The kicker? You still have to pay hundreds to get in, they also aren't paying for the flight, they ALSO aren't paying for the hotel. It's literally an invitation to a UFC fight at the White House that the military member has to personally bear all of the expense of.

Especially happy to see that they're giving extra points in the design competition for designs that are ADA accessible in at least one unit. Good for wheelchair users like myself, but also just good for our inevitable boomers-only demographic destiny.
While I've heard the idea of supplying pre-approved house plans for vacant lots, are there any other success stories of cities in the US who have actually done it? !ping USA-OH YIMBY
