  1. this is from something called the Arabian Post. No idea of credibility.
  2. https://www.fdu.edu/news/fdu-poll-finds-race-and-gender-push-harris-above-trump-nationally/
  3. I keep hearing people say twitter can't get any worse. The answer is, Yes it can.
  4. I read this article the other day. It's extremely informative, and focused on the men who were in charge of gender verification at the Atlanta Olympics. It's not at all what you'd expect it to be. Strong recommend. https://buttondown.com/tested/archive/tested-resisting-gender-verification-from-the/
  5. Courtesy of nyt here's Chapter 1 of a new book by Ryan Mac and Kate Conger How Elon Musk Got Tangled Up in Blue Twitter Blue, a revamped subscription service that let users buy verified badges, was the first big test for the platform’s new owner. It didn’t go well. Ryan Mac and Kate Conger are the co-authors of “Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter,” from which this article is adapted.
  6. Here's politico.eu on the new rocket drone
  7. I believe this is unpaywalled. https://ig.ft.com/ukraine-incursion/
  8. some good news, they came up with a nice, new bumper sticker for @Guadaloopy
  9. 538 says: Oh wait, never mind what we said. Pay attention to what we say going forward. Fuck 'em to hell. full thread at twitter or at the work-around https://xcancel.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1827056346950213786 for clarity, Nate Cohn is with NYT, not 538 edit, also for clarity, fuck nate cohn and the nyt https://xcancel.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1827056346950213786
  10. I know he's lying because I can tell by Melania's perpetually sour face she's never, ever been satisfied.
  11. MAN, THE LYIN' CHEATIN' MEDIA REALLY HAS IT IN FOR THE BIG DUNCE. The outrage machine is peaking!

  13. Source was Josh Friedman, a journalist on bsky but I don't see it covered elsewhere.
  14. ActBlue says Dems raised more than $100 million during the convention—$7.2 million during the single hour of Harris’s acceptance speech and just after (11 p.m. to midnight ET). (via Sam Stein, MSNBC). (Just counts small donors -- $250 and under -- through the ActBlue platform.)
  15. Probably just a WAG. I think they guesstimated based on Kennedy's rising approval rating among republicans, while he's declined among democrats. Just a guess.
  16. I don't believe these numbers. Not for a minute. But the entire Bobby K episode is funny/sad/infuriating, and results in a big zero.
  17. fyi/fwiw Kerstin Emhoff is a film producer and co-founded a production company. She produced the video shown at the convention about Doug and narrated by Cole.
  18. Sticking point in whether Kennedy will endorse Diaper Don: He needs to apologize for the one reasonable thing he did in his 4 year term, probably by accident.
  19. This is absurd. Another fascist Trump judge. Should be useful at the debate though. Next up: Missiles. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-judge-tosses-machine-gun-possession-case-calls-ban-unconstitutional-2024-08-23/
  20. If you have extra to donate and would like an efficient way to spend it on swing state and "tossup" races to help re-take the House and other key offices, check out this site set up by the guy behind @ lolgop. The links and funds go directly to Act Blue so you can be certain it's both legit and effective. https://www.erlywrm.com/get-down These are what your choices look like:
