The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

I don't think I can watch because I'm in the US, but if this is Electronic slander I won't stand for it! Although "not as good as New Order or The Smiths" could still be extremely good, I suppose...

You laugh, but releasing government files about things he doesn't know could be the greatest economic stimulus program in history.

Nobody has talked to a swing voter in a decade -- the actual swing voters are 500 Ohioans who don't consume any news or information but for some reason decide to vote every 4 years and whose decision-making process is "Republicans are good for the economy, right?"

Because that is the only interpretation that makes sense. If AI is not great and is destroying jobs, that is the fault of the bosses, not of AI. Let's put the agency for that where it belongs, and we can start doing that now, it's not something we need to "prepare for".

The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.

A panel from the Heathcliff comic strip, depicting a woman at the deli counter while Heathcliff sits to the side, wearing a helmet that says β€œHam”. The man working behind the deli counter tells the woman β€œDon’t order ham”.

Does he at least wear the Ham helmet?

Pretty cool to catch up on recent episodes of one of my favorite podcasts, @planetmoney.bsky.social’s Indicator, and hear @econberger.bsky.social giving his thoughts on the labor market. Great episode, you should have Guy on more often!

Yes. If we are all in their database, effectively none of us are in their database.

I live in a very blue state and district and so Dems are my representatives, and so they are the people I am going to yell at (although I call them because I don't think that posting on here is an effective way of reaching them). (2/2)

I don't totally disagree with you, and I generally block the folks that are blue MAGA types and/or who otherwise seem like bots.

BUT: I think some of this is because we're on Bluesky and it's assumed that we know that Republicans suck and aren't going to do anything. (1/2)

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …
