  1. I think Walz fits the "we're not going back" message better than anyone else, too. Kelly was too anti-labor until five minutes ago and Shapiro definitely has strong Obama technocrat anti-labor lean tendencies. Either to me feels like going back to the Democratic party of 2008 on labor issues, which I really do not like. Of course, the party is very different today than it was then and they will be pushed left, but they and the people around them will be more resistant to those pushing than I would prefer.
  2. Mostly agree with this, though because of his baggage (which isn't terrible but we want as little talk about Israel/Gaza in this election as possible) I don't even see Shapiro as the "safe" pick. I think those that do believe he's the "safe" pick not because he can guarantee Pennsylvania (he can't) but because he excites a few big donors more. I think that's bad calculus and I also don't give a shit what excites a few big donors.
  3. If Allred somehow wins he’ll be the Texas Krysten Sinema.
  4. They could have at least given us some more fun between her and Rhaenyra if we weren't going to get anything else interesting in this finale.
  5. SCOTUS DID just give the President free rein to have their VP killed...
  6. There must be some big donor pressure for Shapiro.
  7. In the context of a national election, "reaching rural whites" for Dems means losing rural counties like 65/35 or 70/30 instead of 80/20 or worse.
  8. Neo-nazi gang affiliates attacked a mixed-race family in Martindale, only one was arrested:
  9. I think it's largely an overreaction to the AI bubble deflating if not bursting, while some of the smarter money is deciding to wait for the anticipated interest rate cut.
  10. An 80/20 Allred win. Lubbock will go blue before Montgomery County does.
  11. Shapiro doesn't guarantee PA and he really may not even help there as much as Walz might. He'd be a dumb pick. All the reporting very well could be wrong and Beshear could still be in contention, but if he's been ruled out already I'm definitely wondering if they found some literal skeletons in his closet.
  12. Honestly at this point if you told me Garland died 6 months ago I'd believe you.
  13. Fucking Space Jam came out before then.
  14. Here's hoping global warming makes them more tolerable. With our luck as a species though, it will probably make them even worse.
  15. It’s so cool and good that whatever voodoo was fucking up all our bats at home last year still haunts Yordan.
  16. I'm not even sure what he means by CBDC and I tend to be pretty attuned to their lunacy. I suspect it has strong cuckoldry vibes though.
  17. I'm very gruntled by the facts that Trump is terrified of appearing in public now and that the GOP's entire GOTV operation is to give Charlie Kirk $150 mil and let him figure it out. Maybe it doesn't happen, but it's definitely easy right now to see how his own base's excitement begins to wane this fall as Harris continues to pick up momentum and his actual election day turnout just completely collapses.
  18. This makes me so mad, because it's so fucking good and it's so easy to imagine an Allred version of this for his Senate campaign that will absolutely never get made.
  19. When was Yordan's last homer? Feels like it's been a month.
  20. Tesla Cybertruck driver dies after fiery crash in Baytown ditch Monday morning. Is this the Cybertruck's first victim?
  21. So ChatGPT is going to make up stories about crimes based on true crime shit it’s read and the libertarian is going to send people to prison for the made up crimes. Sounds about right.
  22. Rogan is the type of racist who doesn’t want to think of himself as racist. He absolutely thinks the race science guys have some good ideas (e.g. that black people are genetically dumber than white people), but he’s not going to come out and openly say he thinks we should bring back slavery or similarly heinous shit.
