Getting paid hundreds of times the salary of an average employee to drop in and fuck around for a year? Nice work if you can get it.

I had no idea who this was until just now, but I'm an elder millennial whose online video consumption is mostly related to horticulture and guitar pedal demos, so I don't know, probably.

It seems like major traumatic events always break some formerly reasonable brains. It happened with 9/11 and now again with COVID. I used to like Nate quite a bit, but the pandemic changed him from a smart statistics guy with some trollish tendencies into a nonstop bad take pundit.

I'd love to see charts of media coverage of crime, public perception of crime, and actual number of crimes. Maybe I'm wrong, but my guess is that the first two are going to be pretty closely correlated and not have all that much to do with the third.

National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

SCOTUS also seems to have scared a lot of media from plainly saying when his orders are illegal, because there's no way to predict whether what's unconstitutional now will turn out to be just fine in a few weeks.

It's never going to be a crowd-pleasing sentiment to express, but one of the great things about America is that we can say "fuck this country" if we want, and that right is worth defending.

It's a couple points less than Trump's margin of victory there the same year. Obviously not saying she's a goner by any means, but I'm willing to believe she may be shakier ground now than she was then
Giant Space Ants (@spaceants.bsky.social) reply parent
She only won by about 6% in 2020, so a close race makes sense if we assume 2026 is going to do its midterm thing and be a good year for Dems generally

One very depressing moment for me was when my wife and I brought this up to her parents as an example of clearly deranged shit that no one could support and her dad said "well they probably do eat cats!" It's sad watching older relatives get sucked into right wing conspiratorial thinking.

Trump doing wild economic sabotage shit has repeatedly made me want to sell everything and hold it all in cash, but at some point I accepted that the stock market is so irrational that all I could really do was fuck up by trying to time the dips, even when it seems like there's a very good reason.

I think the idea is that if someone proves themselves to be a bad faith bullshitter intending to mislead the public, that should be the end of their tv appearances, op-eds, etc. More of a "societal pressure" thing than centralized censorship, though. Has to be a choice by every media source.

I'd even be fairly receptive to a "just get behind the most realistic candidate who's NOT a genuine threat to the continued existence of the country" message in like June 2028, but it's still so fucking early. Demanding everyone line up behind one primary candidate 2-3 years in advance is nuts.

If something like that comes to pass, it could be helpful that so many Democrats are accustomed to voting by mail now. Intimidation at the polls is still terrible, but we could at least make a push to ensure a large percentage of their targets won't be there on election day
