I send long stream of consciousness messages to people and feel bad because that’s not a proper use case for texting. So I started a substack where I give my more structured thoughts on things. I’m not important but maybe you’d be interested. I talk about himbos here who conversely are important
Kamala’s campaign recognized this to some extent and I can’t imagine how frustrated they were when they kept getting rejected by those podcasts
I would like us to spend the next year watching Pierre Poilievre try to parachute into supposedly easy ridings and fail each time
You could argue the stability of a majority’s nice, especially in this moment, but NDP generally gets good concessions from Libs. Plus they likely won’t do an actual coalition, more of a “support us for some things you want” agreement
Knowing their campaign financing practices they’re not going to be ready for another election for a good hot minute
Poilievre being like “we denied the Liberals and NDP enough seats to have a majority” then the seat count changes right then to allow for just that is *chef’s kiss*
Incredible take to be like “listen let’s just wait for them to ruin the right person’s life”
Ah I see. Unfortunate then
Maybe a sample size thing? The Under 30 section is interesting, seems like 18-21 makes up a small proportion relative to 22-29.
You do not, in fact, have to hand it to Musk and DOGE in any way.
I do think that picture of him signing bombs, plus that murder kerfluffle, plus the weird Obama impersonation, plus the fact he hasn’t been that vocally against Trump (from what I’ve seen) relative to others all puts him at a disadvantage.
Can only describe this as anti-civilization.
“This man has your private information and wants to take away your Medicare and Social Security”
We wanted more representation and this is how the monkey’s paw curls
After Bessent they’re never going to let gays touch finances ever again
You just know if Kamala were this active on social media the media would be like “look at the sheltered internet hermit Vice President”
Even better that a solid proportion of people who do this tend to be so sure of the ‘health benefits’ that any subsequent illness is a conspiracy
Yeah I’d definitely wager a virus here. Hope you all feel better soon
If productive coughing’s involved then less likely to be strep (doesn’t infect lower respiratory tract), though I guess it’s possible if postnasal drip’s co-occurring
I always said in an alternate universe he’d have been happiest as a Broadway producer and wouldn’t you know, here he is manifesting
Like really it’s a matter of how fast you want them to drive things into an ash heap. Trump gets you there slower, Musk probably does it much faster. Some can argue faster is better (unpopularity before they really try consolidation, etc)
I mean he’s not lazy, but definitely incompetent in his own way and uninterested in the details of functioning governing
He would be to politics what Tiffany New York Pollard is to reality TV which is a big compliment
I can tell you that Canadian provincial governments (plus the feds) have been raring to go and are ready to pull economic triggers if felt necessary. The anger among Canadians is still there despite him pulling back, and I think has long-term shifted many to an anti-US consumer mindset
We really can’t infer 2026 and especially 2028 when they’ve only been at this for two weeks and already fucking up at most turns. They have plenty of time to find novel, unexpected ways to touch the stove. They don’t even have a full cabinet yet
Primarily relates to criminalizing participation and finances — like asset freezing, interdicting transactions
Trump says he rescinds tariffs, Mexico (and maybe Canada) shocked when they go through anyway because he forgets he has to sign something to stop them
She’s been confidently skeptical he’d implement them from the start
Like I understand Cuomo has name rec, but it's not like he stepped down honourably. Or is Hochul that hated people are like "well things were better with the guy before"
Is NYC doomed to have cracked mayors in perpetuity, what's the deal with this
