Some inside chisme on the Jimmy T program

I think my total is about the same, and oddly also roughly the same incidence of people who became habituated to ketamine

Not sure what that means in a cosmic sense

I am just a guy with an opinion… and a fair amount of input on a decent sized budget, heh. Maybe that should be my bio. Just now noticed that bs profiles don’t have links! They really should.

George looks like a professor who has written a couple of popular books and suddenly is making money academics never dream of and he swings wildly from feeling cocky and envied to feeling insecure about both the podcast circuit and what other academics think of him.

😂😂☠️🪦

The person or people whose decision this was should absolutely be prosecuted in the Tribunals

Sarah does great work, but if I had to go into a street brawl with her research approach or mine, I’d definitely pick mine. C.f.

I mostly or even maybe totally agree. I just sometimes wish there was a teeensy bit more introspection going on, and I think that’s where I get frustrated. Probably unfairly.

😂

the woke 2 version of this is going to be terrifying to behold

I guess I sounded kind of grumpy there. I don’t have a problem with him exactly, but YES to this being an info environment problem. (don’t underestimate the group chats!) You can see the competing realities slugging it out in his content.

This is about as strong as it gets youtu.be/bkwLltNGHek?...

But if you want a poll result this isn’t bad

The numbers of voters following these tweaky too-online debates is just a lot smaller than the number of people who feel like our system is broken and want a clear story and leadership on how we can fix it

Quite literally “we have always been at war with Iran.”

Their brains are a bit pickled from bad group chats. Ordinary voters are going to look at Jimmy T and say fine, we disagree on exactly which pronouns God would use. Let's discuss that after we get a good start on dismantling the oligarchy and our neighbors aren't getting ripped from their homes.

What @timmiller.bsky.social and the Bulwarkers still don't seem to get is that the vast majority of gettable voters do not give half a slivered fuck about this stuff. And for the ones that do, if Talarico drives his strong core message, it crams this stuff back into perspective.

I'm too wiped out rn to come up with a good one but there are going to be some genuinely funny QPs of this

I work with really, really, really smart people, and they are extra super genius level smart about Texas, so you should listen to this.

Also I'm going to be on tomorrow with someone rather a lot smarter than me, so you should subscribe now because who knows how that is going to go! (spoiler: fine)

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

Paxton vs Cornyn doesn't much matter. Jimmy T is perfectly capable of driving to the hoop over either of these soft chuds, and this is before they slice each other to ribbons in a $50M, 11 week right-wing crazy-off primary.
