If Rapids is behaving like this, then, yes, Hong can win a statewide election. (As anyone who can actually extrapolate data should have already cobbled together, despite the depressingly pervasive moderate/anti-progressive insistence otherwise.)

finally catching up on the new strokes lp that's earning raves from a number of vet rock crits & it's... middling? at best? like, a destined-to-be-memory-holed-in-under-two-years type of consistent middling. an ambitious misfire that mistakes style for passion. interesting, but far from stellar.

as much as crowley's re-entry scattered runner-up support, think the view on barnes was that he could claim to be the "reasonable progressive" or whatever, but the latter part of that is key: think his scandal-expectant withdrawal probably siphons as much support out to hong as it does to crowley.

crowley re-entering the race w/ an evers endorsement being something that substantially eats into the polling support for barnes while hong surges is both hilariously predictable + even firmer evidence that WI's establishment dem wing is fundamentally not equipped to meet, or even read, the moment

In 2013, I was in Dublin, intentionally seeking out + visiting locations of key scenes from Once, a few days after catching the stage adaptation on the West End; a core memory experience. Glen Hansard’s music and film work had a real impact on the way I approached my own, & his loss is felt. RIP.

bucks offloading kpj + kuzma would bring me such intense joy & i hope it happens before the deadline it will be much easier to bring myself to root for herro than either of those two, though i’d also lean twds wanting herro gone sooner than later as well character + consistency matter

anyone else seeing posts from former LEOs arguing extrajudicial police killings are a more effective means of "keeping the streets safe" than relying on the justice system? because i've seen a few this week, and they're only going to keep coming. this can't be reformed. abolish.

in better news: stef chura and krill each returned with new singles today, and both are excellent

the phrase "officer-involved shooting" needs to die the type of death that happens in an "officer-involved shooting" and publications need to be a lot more mindful over what and how they regurgitate intentional and highly-calibrated sloganeering

sophie cunningham is a perfect representation of why the left needs to push back against anti-trans candidates within dem ranks; if you cut that off at the head, then you won't see the "i don't hate trans people, but" statements that further an anti-trans rhetoric that results in avoidable deaths

“Hong can’t win in a general election” is ignoring (and/or willfully misinterpreting): current polling, current data ABOUT polling (ie: who responds), the last decade of both state and national history, and the multitude of reasons why establishment dems are losing favor at this velocity.

was glad to see ament's shot falling, but there's a *long* way to go. every negative run the bucks allowed, he was in the lineup. every positive run was sparked by him subbing out. at one point he was around -20, while teammates w/ meaningful mins were still in the positives. work yet to be done.

i’ll be thinking about lucy dacus’ performance of “thumbs” last night for the rest of my life in a night full of charming, one-of-a-kind, mostly-unrehearsed performances (due to the band’s gear getting tied up at the border), that version hit unbelievably hard lovely, devastating stuff

there’s currently a very nonzero chance that lindsey graham’s death can be (partially) attributed to an rfk decision

bucks are three trades away from me being all-in on the rebuild, & i’m hoping those players are shown the door sooner than later

i, too, have a culver's take that would get me nuked to oblivion by many of my fellow wisconsonites but 1) it's not what you'd immediately think (i am v pro-culver's) and 2) i'm not stupid enough to post it ...at least not right now
