Writing a piece about how democrats need to talk about affordability so I can use my "democrats need to talk about the unique dangers of Trumpism" pre-write when they do it.
Luigi de GuzmanThe reason the DSA folks seem to get so much attention is that they tend to talk about stuff like why your rent is high or why the bus is never on time. Voters by and large don’t really care about “democracy” because a lot of them have not gotten much out of democracy www.npr.org/2026/07/29/n...
I don’t get this post. Movies should just be all of these things like Sinners.

This thread is basically a much smarter version of what I’ve been trying for a while to articulate about AI takes on here.
Zach WeinersmithThere's lots of stuff LLMs can't do, but if you want to disbelieve all the recent math, you have to believe a bunch of Fields Medalists with long track records are just straightforwardly lying about the thing they care most about. Here's a recent blog by Gowers: gowers.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/a...
Probably my favorite thing about Marx is that he was incredibly clear that the fight to end slavery was a vital step in ending the abuses of capitalism and not a distraction from it. It’s to the credit of tons of European left movements that they decided the fight for the union was their fight too.
NiedThat's right!
Again the next time you worry you are not qualified for your job please remember that Marvel couldn't figure out how to pick a spot on the map, put Mahershala Ali in a Blade outfit and then write a movie where he fights vampires there.
Culture Crave 🍿Mahershala Ali says he’s moved on from ‘Blade’ “I have moved on … I'm good … you had me under contract … if they wanted to do the movie, we would've done the movie. So we're not doing the movie … They didn't want to do it, so they should answer that question” (via GQ Magazine)
Remember when MAGA got really into an AI foot fetish account that claimed to have top secret clearance because she was like the 4th most important national security figure in the military and was taking feet pics in SCIFs?
Asawin SuebsaengI am so glad @willsommer.bsky.social did this, he’s just reporting out what we’ve all been thinking youtu.be/NU9eTaRdJSQ?...
Lana Del Rey. We deserve a better Gangsta Nancy Sinatra! If she isn't going to do anything interesting with all those signifiers she should move over and let somebody signify something with them!
Sanjay SrivastavaWhat is an extremely nerdy/obscure/specific thing you hate with a white-hot wrath?
So a thing that does seem weirdly key to understanding How We Got Here is accepting that something being a social construct doesn't stop it from being extremely real. The Government is a social construct.
Scott BryanChannel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”
I don't think this actually happened but if it did bringing up Fauci on a date in the year of our lord 2026 is actually a pretty good "get the hell out of there" red flag.

I've given up on the idea that there's no written text in the Star Wars galaxy but I continue to believe nobody can read.

I love when Republicans think they have a friendly enough audience to tell the truth because it always sounds like this and they get this reaction.
Dom ErvolinaVivek Ramaswamy tells a crowd of young Libertarians in Ohio "The truth of the matter is, people in my generation have already made it. We're gonna be fine." He is then booed off of the stage
It's going to be very funny when my absolute refusal to believe in Blexas is vindicated by us winning Iowa and Alaska.
