@leahsottile.bsky.social, thanks for the great talk at @willametteu.bsky.social! Ran into a quote today that I think you would appreciate: "Between superstition and fraud there is but a thin line..." It's on page 5 of Mattis' The Theory of Magnetism, which discusses a bunch of magnet superstitions.

πŸ“ŒI can't stop banging this drum: Democrats had a spectacular Tuesday at the polls, the wind at their backs, and basically punched themselves and their voters in the face five days later.

This is political malpractice at best, and out and out brazen capitulation to their billionaire donors at worst.

Lol, the Democratic party can't even come out and denounce what is happening as it's happening. You might ask for Nuremberg-style trials but the Democrats will 100% do something stupid like fill the Cabinet with Republicans "in the spirit of national healing."
