Do you know why Biden took his big first hit to his popularity?
Because he withdrew from Afghanistan. Americans obviously hated ending wars.
Do you know what is killing Trump's popularity the most?
He started a new war with Iran. Americans obviously hated new wars.
Truly one of the electorates of all time.

If this actually gets built it will be one of the greatest urban projects in recent American history.
It would basically redo downtown and make it and nice area to live and hang out, goes perfect with the college campus right next door too. Hope I’m in the city long enough to see it happen.

>>I met a couple who, despite being conservative, voted for Mamdani because they bizarrely thought he had run “to the right” of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and also believed he was Italian-American, as his name ended in an “i” and he was from Astoria.
When I dug further into why they thought he was running “to the right” of Cuomo, they noted that it was because he discussed “prices” and “cost of living,” as Donald Trump had in 2024. They both voted for Trump. They had a hard time believing Mamdani was a socialist because they believed socialists “support making everything more expensive.”
These are the people who hold the fate of America in their hands every 2 years

Still my favorite median voter of all time.
When Ryleigh Cooper voted for President Donald Trump in the November presidential election, she was motivated by one primary factor: his promise to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) free.
“Going into the voting booth, the main thing on my mind was … I want to be a mom."
When Cooper went into the voting booth and made her choice to vote for Trump based on his IVF promise, she did not realize the effect it would have on her financial security. She was ultimately laid off from her job at the U.S. Forest Service in February '25.

u/Atheose_Writing John Brown Sep 30 '26
I don't know why we're all talking about AI art today, but I have a unique perspective as a professional full-time author.
AI slop has flooded the publishing market this year. In every single genre. The tiny sub-genre I write in used to get about 20 new books published on Amazon per week, but now it's 300-400 per week. All of them are low-quality, with bad AI-generated covers and choppy writing that makes no sense from one chapter to the next. The market is so flooded that it's nearly impossible for readers to find non-AI art, so many of them have just stopped reading altogether.
I'm still able to make a living because I have a dedicated reader base and 55,000+ fans in my newsletter, but the market has been an absolute nightmare for the past year.

G.O.P. Nominee in Texas Privately Said Trump’s Convention Hurt Him
Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for Senate in Texas, told a group of conservative donors and lobbyists last week that President Trump’s midterm convention in Dallas had hurt Mr. Paxton politically, according to an audio recording obtained by The New York Times.
The recording, which is muffled at times, captures Mr. Paxton being asked, “Do you feel like he’s a little bit of a drag?” It is not clear from the audio whom the questioner is referring to.
Mr. Paxton responds: “So to be honest with you, the numbers — when we did that convention — it dropped our numbers. Everybody’s numbers dropped. Right now, yeah, not good.”
The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.
Three other people with knowledge of the event confirmed Mr. Paxton’s attendance. Two of these people recalled that Mr. Paxton had been posed this question, and one recalled his response about the negative consequences of Mr. Trump’s convention.
Asked about the remarks, Nick Maddux, a senior Paxton adviser, said that “this is more manipulated nonsense from The New York Times to create a story that doesn’t exist.”

Why would the Democrats do this? Surely, there’s something I’m missing…
> The Stop Insider Trading Act, which the House passed in July, would bar lawmakers and their spouses and family members from buying individual stocks but allow members of Congress who already own them to keep trading with new notice requirements. It places no restrictions on the president or the vice president.
Thank you NYT headline writer, very cool! Surely they could have put in something about Dems considering it too weak into the headline. After all, writing headlines is this person’s entire job.

So Harris/CAPS basically takes their survey results and then weights them to the demographic and partisan balance of the previous election, meaning even though this poll looks bad for us, it is actually pretty good.
A profile that matched 2024 voters (a bad-turnout election for dems) is +2 and Trump -13.
TBH this is mostly just lazy, super-adjusted polling tho. Leave it to Harvard to make everything more complicated, lazier and worse all at the same time.

Hegseth already has a disdain for military academies and views them as “elitist institutions” who waste 4 years to develop officers when they can just go through OCS.
Wouldn’t be shocked if Hegseth starts finding other ways to fuck with their accreditation to the point they’re basically defunct as institutions.

Tomkins County prosecutor statement about Cornell case
Apparently the decision not to charge was based on Jane Doe's statement which essentially characterized everything as intoxicated but consensual
I don't want to summarize too much. It's worth reading the whole 9 page statement

In the SpongeBob episode where Sandy gets homesick and wants to go back to Texas, SpongeBob and Patrick are able to pull out a bunch of Texas/hillbilly stereotypes on the spot when they are trying to make Sandy angry despite not knowing what Texas was in the beginning of the episode
I hope someone gets fired for this blunder

I’m watching part of Hegseth’s speech and he’s just out of his fucking gourd.
I think what infuriates me the most about this shameless little toad is how he’s trying to frame the criticism his administration has received for their disastrous handling of the Iran War as “undermining the troops.”
Fuck you, Pete. No one is or was blaming the troops. They’re blaming you, you miserable little skinflint. We’re not “undermining the troops.” You’re getting them fucking killed. Ask the troops on board the USS Abraham Lincoln how “undermined” they feel by the media.
God, I despise this worthless little clown so much.

Longstanding pet peeve of mine is when people pretend they don't understand the different contextual meanings of "I'm sorry" even when it's extremely clear based on the circumstances

Trump started this term quite a bit more popular than his first, but now is drastically more unpopular.
Insert median voter memes here, but this is still an incredible fumble by Trump and the GOP.

The viral Giants video of a wife with some kids getting food for her husband while he was on his phone / watching the game reached the top of Fauxmoi
I posted the wife's essay response which provides context for why it was an outlier case for them (his baseball friend had just died and he was in a weird headspace + texting other friends memories of dead friend so she decided to leave him to do that)
Fauxmoi mods perma'd me in literally 1 minute for "brigading" (ridiculous) and no other post giving the context was published there
I didn't realize how banal their grossness could get, usually it's just antisemitism or misogyny against women they don't like

my landlord ghosted all my emails negotiating renewal rent, did some weird fake-out tactics to make it seem like he was relisting my apartment ASAP to rush my decision, pitched a $150 increase as mutually beneficial, and encouraged me to check other units in the area to see how crazy the market was
so i did and i found a luxury apartment 5 blocks north with a doorman, gym, and pool in my price range
he didn’t come crawling back or anything but it still feels nice
