As a member of the 9th district, I have not seen any campaign events or mailers. Are you coming to Rogers Park?

It feels EXTREMELY weird that Packers-Lions is on CBS.

If @crawfordforwi.bsky.social wins, it means Democrats have a fair, reasonable shot at flipping control of the state legislature since the NON-gerrymandered districts would remain in place for 2026. 1/

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

I am glad you post here as election twitter was one of my favorite areas of twitter. I am glad Packers Twitter made it over to Bluesky so I hope more of Election twitter follows. Communities take time to build. Your insights are valued here even if you get attacked a lot.

do you know how bad you have to be as president to make the Luka to Lakers thing the 2nd dumbest trade related news of the last 24hrs

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isnโ€™t just uncouth or โ€œcontroversialโ€ but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Hey, couple notes on your post. Personally I think it's fine. Totally get it. But someone I imagined, in my head, might not like it. They haven't seen it yet but I'm just saying, if they did. They might freak out a little bit. Anyway take it down or I'm calling the cops

Good surprises since 2020:
Old people became way more Democratic
EC bias declined
R's have nominated terrible candidates

Bad surprises:
Zoomers are really right wing now
Tech moving right
Non-white support cratered faster than I thought it would
TikTok has been really bad

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

The amount but more importantly the quality of the responses to this plea for help was outstanding, beyond what Iโ€™ve experienced on any social network ever.

Thank you to everyone who weighed in.

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.

Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for โ€ฆ sleep apnea

A truly important (and obvious, even banal) point that really canโ€™t be stressed enough: sometimes majorities get things really really wrong!

i think it is important to clarify that this โ€” the exclusionary distribution of benefits on some sort of ethnic or national basis โ€” isnโ€™t socialism. itโ€™s, you know, something else.
