I'm almost willing to go through whatever dread ritual Elon Musk used that completely fucks up your personality forever but gives you legions of fans who will say "Actually this man having a quarter-trillion dollars is a public good" with a straight face.

You should consider renegotiating rates with your handler/churro vendor, surely your time is more valuable than that. Don't settle for anything less than one churro per poster, it's a worker's market right now after all!

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
Talking about 50s pedo scifi, John Varley was one of my favorite writers as a teenager when I'd read one or two of his books... I later read a collection of short stories, all of which I think were fine but for the last one, that was about a normal human dude walking into a tribe of people who had no sense of sight or sound. And lo a prepubescent naked girl teaches him the ways of their tribe, mostly through touching. Lots of touching. And later a full blown orgy.

They also just can't fathom anyone who isn't them. This is tangential but when the whole Joe Rogan controversy was happening I saw some talking head say "who even has time to listen to four hours of talking" and 1) that's your loving audience, How is someone putting on cable news all day any different? 2) 80% of jobs that aren't customer facing, truckers, any sort of warehouse stocking, etc.

Oh yeah, I agree with you 100%. I was just obliquely referring to the dril tweet to make fun of the “it can be a compelling argument” line. Establishment Dems have been running on the platform of “vote for us or the other guy wins!” for ages now and it becomes less and less effective each time

This is what I don't get. They know they are about to be murdered, so why don't they cancel student loan debt, raise the minimum wage, and/or legalize weed? I imagine they would be more popular with voters if they passed policies that are popular and/or that they promised they would do.

Are they really just going to quietly let themselves lose and then blame progressives again?

They'd prefer to stay in power, but if the choice is between those things or another Trump presidency, they'd much rather have the latter.

These are all things their constituents want, but they are mostly not interested in doing what their constituents want. They only want to keep the constituents barely not-pissed-off enough to keep voting for them over the republicans so they can get back in office and continue golfing with their corporate campaign donors and billionaire pals.

I don't really get the weed part though, that one is fairly well-supported among voters and wouldn't actually hurt corporate profits if they went through with it.

The weed thing is genuinely just Joe Biden being terrified of people doing any sort of drugs. Probably some combination of being an old fart and having a son with high profile substance issues. He was crusading against raves in the 90s.
