β€œThe people demand the fall of the regime” was the powerful chant across the Arab Spring. It might work for us, too.

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

Well, not IN Boston, but nearby.

Isn’t candidate John Sununu also the son of John Sununu, who was governor in the 80s? I’m sure he’s more moderate than Scott Brown, but I’d rather a progressive if NH can elect one.

That said, I vote in MA, so I don’t get to choose for you. My folks in NH will be out canvassing, I’ll just donate.

Home | Jared for NH

Pappas seems pretty centrist, for a democrat. Worked for Shaheen, takes money from AIPAC.

Jared Sullivan is trying to run a people powered campaign. I pledged $50/mo to help him make it real. www.jaredfornh.com

She seems great politically, and would be the first woman with a STEM PhD in the Senate. But to be honest, I don’t know if she can beat Sununu. He’s the son of a former governor, and NH is still pretty conservative in the rural areas. I grew up there, and I see lots of trump signs near my parents…

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Time for all these institutionalists to get out of the way. They care more about β€œbipartisanship” and comity than their constituents.

At least there are several decent progressives running in the NH Democratic primary to replace Shaheen, keep the seat blue, and show some spine to Trump republicans.

Are you supporting Pappas, Manzur or someone else as a β€œreal democrat” for NH? I’ve been excited by Jared Sullivan, but he just announced and hasn’t had much polling success yet.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked old memes, so I put an old meme in your old meme explainer, and now we are both old, and not kids at all.

Every time a tech entrepreneur says β€œwe don’t need to stop global warming because AI will” I want to slap them with a fish that says, β€œif a superhuman intelligence came into being and we asked it how to stop global warming, it would say β€˜stop burning fossil fuels, you fools.’”

I asked him in 2022 why he wasn't working on something actually important like climate change.

He replied, "iIf you create AGI, you can make one its first tasks be addressing climate change" xcancel.com/sama/status/...

These are not serious people. They are consumed by the underpants gnomes.

I did buy a used copy of the K-01 just to try their mirrorless experiment. It’s nice and small, works with all my old lenses and batteries, but is a bit slow for street photography.

I even love the chunky design and bold yellow body. I would definitely get a modern version with a faster shutter.

I love my Pentax K-1 for landscape photography. The weather sealing is top-notch; I’ve taken it all over the world, from Iceland to Antarctica, Death Valley to Machu Picchu.

I hope it and Pentax never die. I would upgrade to a mark 3 if they ever release one with better autofocus, but it’s a tank.

Right? The next democratic President needs to grow a spine and use the powers that Trump unleashed to actually fix some things around here.

Declare a climate emergency, use the Defense Production Act to massively decarbonize, and maybe send some goons to shut off coal plants and fix gas wells.

A big part of the Millennial experience has been seeing our peers locked out of political power while an older generation refuses to step aside out of a sense of entitlement. That's why it feels good to see candidates like Michelle Wu and Zohran Mamdani succeed.

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have
