Good to see that California voters understand both democratic values and game theory much better than concern trolling pundits

The thing about the Dodgers is that both Ohtani and Yamamoto are drastically underpaid

I'm being entirely serious when I say that this is one of the core commitments of reactionary politics: demand all the privileges, refuse any of the responsibility.

My gut sense here is that Rs didn't think this would become an issue, then got pot committed to a terrible precedent just so they won't admit they were wrong.

Opinion | Gambling Is Killing Sports and Consuming America

"21% of sports bettors say they’ve verbally abused an athlete, in person or online [...] 60% of Americans now express skepticism about the integrity of sport [...] Nearly half of men 18-49 have an online sports betting account."

People being blunt that Trump seemed confused and said his dementia test was a hard IQ test.

We are in a timeline in which People Magazine is publishing legit hard-hitting news headlines while CBS and CNN publicly humiliate themselves.

I don’t like this timeline. But I’m loving People Magazine right now.

By proceeding with the loading of my groceries in the car before seeking approval from alleged "cashiers," I forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

Extremely magnanimous of johnson to do everything in his power to prevent the release of the totally exculpatory epstein files, all to prevent democrats from embarrassing themselves. Truly a leader for all americans

The New York Times Argues β€œMoving to the Center Is the Way to Win.” But the Data Shows the Strategy Is Tapped Out. Democrats already run moderates in nearly every swing district. It's not enough. A data-driven response to the case for centrism as a core electoral strategy.

My response to the NYT’s β€œmoderate to win” argument: The data shows the strategy is tapped out. Being seen as moderate by voters doesn’t boost votes, replacing every progressive with moderates would net 0 seats, and the graveyard of defeated D incumbents if full of moderates, not progressives.

Of course he's not following the rules, but it's dangerous to get to resigned to and cynical about it
