i'm detox-ing from Robot Hitler site fr now

i agree that gaza wasn't determinative overall (i think i saw some analysis that suggested it might have been in michigan but that obviously wouldn't have been enough) but it doesn't seem like the impact was primarily on turnout? dearborn and hammtrack did in fact see more votes for trump!

i still basically agree with a lot of the issue-specific criticisms of the new york times coverage (trans issues, for example), so i recognize this is likely me overcorrecting

but like... idk, i kinda can't make myself "new york times is bending the knee to fascism now" takes seriously anymore

i wish more left-liberal critics of the mainstream media, new york times critics especially, explicitly reckoned with how much the biden debate aftermath damaged their credibility

because frankly i tune out a lot of types of arguments i would have been very receptive to even two years ago

i agree latinx is dumb but also literally fucking everyone agreed it was dumb four years ago, one ruben gallego tweet and it was over, yet latinos shifted *more* to the right afterwards

idk kinda just seems like people didn't like inflation

didn't take enough but some train to h-town + h-town pics

more new orleans pics

euclid records haul

new orleans museum of art pics

atlanta to new orleans section of the train is cancelled so on an amtrak bus, briefly stopped in tuscaloosa and finishing driving through mississippi rn

didn't spend as much time in savannah as i hoped to but i got to see a friend + snap some pics of forsyth park

more charleston pics

know a cd jukebox hate to see me coming

now in south carolina for real, omw to charleston with a layover in columbia

wait the urban-rural divide feels way *less* salient in how liberals are reacting to this election compared to the last few, the diner stories are in queens now

charlotte pics

worst city to get around sans car so far, became a bit easier to manage once i booked a hotel downtown (after realizing i needed to stay another night because i accidentally booked my bus to charleston in march) though

boo! hiss!

nice walk in duke gardens

fun nc state vs duke women's college basketball game

more richmond

richmond airbnb confirmed in the pocket of Big Neoliberalism

had to trek to a richmond laundromat and i found out on my way that e-scooters are banned starting like a ~20 minute walk away, pretty annoying but at least i have clean clothes now

never seen one before!

more norfolk

now in norfolk, was a pleasant train ride (except for when it got delayed by a freight train, got some rewards points for it at least)

me and the bestie

this seems like a one exit poll thing, right? ecological interference def doesn't suggest this

also laughed harder than i (an adult) probably should have at this
