  1. really interesting study on change of number of donors by county. a nice measure of support i've not seen looked at. so you're not just looking at numbers, but the change since 2020, which is useful to compare against because you know who won each state in 2020. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/05/16/us/elections/biden-trump-donors.html AZ: Biden (left), Trump (Right). Green is positive delta against 2020, orange negative.
  2. the travis and drainage basin -- basically from the lake west to fredricksburg -- is the driest soil out there. there's not going to be any water headed to travis that doesn't go through buchanan first.
  3. i was born right at the end of his presidency. it would have been neat to see the machinations that brought him to power. a very 'non-presidential' feeling president edit: mechanations isn't a word? how long have i been saying it like that?
  4. it happens more often than you'd think. the defense can still be a number of different things: "that stuff you said i did doesn't meet the statute." "that guy that is the lynchpin to the whole thing just misremembered the conversation." whatever. those sorts of defenses don't lend themselves to witnesses for the defense.
  5. Oops, did I leave an Ohio class submarine near crimea?
  6. I already saw tweets about "his dad was served under sergi something or other from the nkvd!" Yeah, no shit. He grew up in a Warsaw Pact country. Everyone is sprinting to the propaganda machines. "His 2nd cousin had blue and yellow flowers at his wedding!"
  7. I feel there is going to be quite the rush to bullshit facts from both sides to tie this dude to the other.
  8. i think last time the debate helped biden because everyone got to see he wasn't senile like the trump campaign was making. if he's slowed a bit and shows that, he shouldn't do it. from my perspective the stuff the last few months haven't exactly been inspiring so i'm inclined to say no.
  9. dude aligned with putin, more or less. ritter involved, perhaps.
  10. Shockingly bad ass Medal of Honor citation I just came across. It would be difficult to distinguish it from John Rambo's. https://mohmuseum.org/medal_of_honor/bennie-adkins/ https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/bennie-g-adkins
  11. Lot of ticket splitting in the polls, which (1) I think cuts against the Surly conventional wisdom of Polls Worthless Because Who Even Answers These Things Anyway? (2) is probably good evidence that the deficit is with persuadable voters at least.
  12. Evidently JD Vance in court. He’s been my pick for VP nominee.
  13. That “who becomes a Nazi” article from 1941 that whoever posted captures a lot of this in my opinion.
  14. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politics/biden-trump-battleground-poll.html?unlocked_article_code=1.rk0.dSJw.Mb_gYHfCMvPL&smid=url-share Trump with lots of leads including big one in NV
  15. It's more interesting than good/bad to me. It is the opposite of what we seemed to have been taught in the 1980s or whatever. It's a relief that we aren't dooming humanity to live like sardines in the future while all resources are consumed, which is nice. But in our lifetimes it'll be more bad than good is my guess because our economy is very hardwired with growth as an assumption.
  16. it was always the stupidest argument. rich people famously shun getting more money.
  17. i mean, i bet that's the one part he has memorized.
  18. their whole business model is providing the feel of a mini vacation. now when i go in it is trashy and dirty and it is just mcdonalds with whip.
  19. The guy voting for the dude that tried to end democracy is the patriot? Sometimes you just have to admit you're the bad guy and that you don't care. You'd vote for Benedict Arnold if he said you'd get a tax break. Or whatever it is you think you get out of the deal. That's cool. Just own it.
