I don't raise the issue of politics with people at all. Sure, sometimes I open my big mouth but I've become pretty good at just keeping it shut in public. It's really like the last thing I want to talk about unless I know the person is well-educated and experienced in politics. If people choose to reveal themselves to me and they're wingnuts, I generally avoid them in the future. We have a few R acquaintances and for things like pickleball I'll tolerate 'em but generally, probably because Fort Collins is pretty firm for the Democrats, they keep their mouths shut too. It's funny the assumptions people make. When we first moved here, a couple down the street assumed I was a Republican because I always wore a Longhorns cap when walking the dog. They were a bit cool at first, but ever since they realized her mistake, we've all become big buds. I was pretty shocked that people would make that assumption but your experience is what I've found in many cases, if they know you're from Texas they assume you're R. We have to explain Austin and UT to a lot of people.

Thread Separately, Chronically Ill and Disabled Americans for Progress PAC has, with the help of @amyhoy.bsky.social, raised $46k. That money will be used for more targeted digital ad buys. I'm currently building out a strategy that will maximize the impact of every single dollar. What do I mean by building out a strategy to maximize the impact of every dollar? Our testing experiment showed that the Home Care ad ⤵️ does well with rural conservatives. So with the contributions the PAC has gotten today, we'll run this in rural Georgia. Our testing experiment showed that the "William & Donald - Disabled People Shouldn't Just Die" spot does well with 18-34 year olds. So with contributions the PAC has gotten today, we'll run this ⤵️ targeting 18 to 34 year olds. There's more to the targeting. Please forgive me for not being able to discuss it publicly. e.g. If I tell you the counties I'm targeting, I'd be inviting counter-bids https://bsky.app/profile/matthewcort.land/post/3l7s3ygiwlw23

Yeah nobody was clicking on that stupid Biden story so the media moved on.

I didn't realize someone told Elmo to take down his Kamala is a cunt ad. Fuckin dipshit.

"Presidents do not have to be saints, and we hope that a second term for Donald Trump would avoid disaster. But he poses an unacceptable risk to America and the world. If The Economist had a vote, we would cast it for Kamala Harris." https://www.economist.com/leaders/2024/10/31/a-second-trump-term-comes-with-unacceptable-risks

That's a deeply ashamed, closeted man with fame looking for justification about why he likes penis. edit - why his little boys club didn't cancel him after he went to jerk off to gay porn after his live stream illustrates either how gullible or understanding/in denial of his predicament they are.

Context - this is sarcasm. I just watched a clip of the tiny nazi Charlie what's his name totally melting down on Megin Kelly's show. if you want to watch the midget nazi having a melt down about that ad, here's a link. I'd dl it and post it but they seem to format like shit. https://bsky.app/profile/bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us/post/3l7stu2zfa62f

The most important reason of all is that we need to beat fascism. Not only beat it but give it a big fucking kick in the mouth.

the other side Birmingham.

Reminds me a little of this https://www.the-independent.com/life-style/ai-angus-steakhouse-reddit-london-b2638158.html Angus Steakhouse controversy proves that we can’t sleepwalk into a world controlled by AI ... People proclaiming that it’s ‘the BEST steakhouse in London’ are playing Google for a fool and winning. Hats off to them, says Helen Coffey – it illustrates the danger of our impending descent into a dystopian world where human experience is replaced by bots and algorithms

The hearing on this charge, running an illegal lottery, got moved up to tomorrow morning and Elmo was ordered to appear.

Hmmmm...not paying workers, threatening to leave them stranded if they didn't meet their goals? Interstate transfer/kidnapping? Is that an indictable offense?

Kamala is just so incredibly genuine and nice. That's all.

Unsubstantiated report "BARSTOOL is shittalking Vance and calling him a weirdo. It's over. If you've lost the conservative sports bros you got nobody except discord server creeps left."

NYU journalism prof - real talk.

Thanks to xitter formatting it looks like he's endorsing putting the orange dotard on the moon. I usually get annoyed when people who paste from xitter don't post the full text but in this case I'm grateful you spared us, however inadvertent it may have been.

Repped for the last joke. "Foreigners are destroying American jobs." "That's true!" "Did you know that just one illegal immigrant caused 6,000 people to lose their jobs at twitter?"

Which part (of CO)?

The Nate Cohn article linked above is unintentionally hilarious. "Turnout has never mattered, I always laugh about it when someone brings it up, but somehow this election I kind of feel differently about it." Fuck him, his Siena polls and his insidious create-the-narrative coverage.
