The biggest problem with "popularism" is that its advocates don't fully internalize how much poll question framing can distort measurement.

They also don't get that if having unpopular views stopped you from winning, Republicans would never win elections. Many people do not vote based on policy.

Support @boltsmag.org if you can.

Either by READING and boosting their invaluable journalism.
Or
If you can afford it $$, reporting like Bolts saves democracies.

(I'm serious about this, Bolts gives voice to people who desperately need to be heard. And we desperately need to listen.)

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

Text says "A measles vaccine analogy if you understand Dungeons & Dragons: Measles has a DC of 19 (you have an approximately 90% chance of getting measles if exposed and not vaccinated). The measles vaccine (MMR) would confer a +17 bonus to the average adventurer (CON 10), giving you a 95% chance to resist measles if you encounter the disease in your journey. (Two doses of the MMR vaccine actually = about 97% effective, but Iโ€™m told getting to 97% exactly in the game is more complicated than can be explained in a graphic.). In other words, the MMR vaccine is better than even very powerful magical items!โ€ Beside the text is a picture of a cartoon baby dragon. The caption beneath the image is a caption that says "Definitely (absolutely not) an accurate representation of what the dragons look like. We didnโ€™t want to accidentally choose a dragon that looks like a very bad one, and we made this graphic in like 5 minutes, so this one seemed safe."

Yesterday, someone made a Dungeons & Dragons analogy for vaccines in our (Facebook) comments. I don't play or understand D&D, so I asked our Preparedness Coordinator to explain. I still donโ€™t understand it, but he said this analogy will be understood by people who do! Anyway, please get vaccinated.

Serial Experiments Lain is a cautionary, deeply political story about how cool the Sharp X68000 looked, and what would happen if computers kept looking like that.

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.

She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.

It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

I AM FURIOUS.

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.

And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

It really bums me out that Klobuchar, who was instrumental in normalizing Trump as just another political adversary, is almost certainly going to be the next governor of Minnesota, a state currently paying a severe price for that normalization of fascism.
