That said, I vote in MA, so I donβt get to choose for you. My folks in NH will be out canvassing, Iβll just donate.
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 donβt know if she can beat Sununu. Heβs 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 parentsβ¦

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 βreal democratβ for NH? Iβve been excited by Jared Sullivan, but he just announced and hasnβt had much polling success yet.

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. Itβs 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; Iβve 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 itβs a tank.

06.11.2025 15:47 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Right? 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.
