Repost and reply for a chance to win a San Francisco Giants Pokémon Worlds Night jersey!
ALT Detail shots of a Pokémon World Championships-themed San Francisco Giants jersey. The jersey has a logo on the left chest featuring a Poké Ball, the Golden Gate Bridge, a boat sailing in the San Francisco Bay, and a Latios flying overhead. The jersey also has a logo for the Pokémon World Championships 2026 on the right sleeve. The back of the jersey features Pikachu wearing a crown and a cape as well as a silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Timing wise, Harris team expecting:
- Tues pm: Near complete results from GA/NC/MI/VA/FL/OH/CO; partial PA/WI/AZ
- Weds am: most WI; addl PA/MI
- Later: addl PA/AZ/NV + more
Could take days, per senior officials, but that's "not a sign of fraud, it's just the way it works"

Do we want to live in a country governed like California or Florida? Well, let's check the numbers, shall we?
CA GDP per capita: $102,527
FL GDP per capita: $71,703
Among the fundamental questions for America in this election are:
Do we want to live in a country governed like California or Florida?
Do we want every city in America to be governed like San Francisco or Miami?
If SF’s homeless population, crime, empty offices, retail and downtown, budget shortfalls, anti-business climate, migrant policies, and failing schools are what you want for your family, vote @KamalaHarris.

It would be fascinating to see historical data for this sort of thing.
I strongly suspect this phenomenon of being in a tiny unrepresentative minority but believing most people agree with you (and therefore feeling empowered to act) is a social media era phenomenon.

Whenever anyone argues that the Democrats have gone as far left as the Republicans have moved to the right, I point out that the Democrats will successfully primary the Cori Bushes of the world while Lauren Boebert skates through to the general every year
Great example of the kind of stuff that causes ppl not to trust the media

The starkest reality of this race is that it's inconceivable that Donald Trump would ever sacrifice his ego or his personal interests for some larger cause.

Intersectionality Brain inevitably makes all left-wing activism politically useless. A president can be the best ever on *your organization's specific issue* and you won't endorse him because of other lefty concerns
The NRA and AIPAC do not do this

Daily reminder that being rich doesn’t necessarily make you smart or respectable. For a guy who says he wants humanity to flourish, he spends an inordinate amount of time disparaging people or sowing rage & discord.

Nobody in the GOP camp can even begin to provide any explanation of why the bipartisan border security bill is worse than the status quo — if it doesn’t work you can still use the issue against Biden and pass something else in 2025, the fear is clearly that it *will* work. – at Arlington, VA

Well it's out there now! Yep, I'm running for Minnesota House District 61A. More info very soon. This campaign won't be conducted on Twitter, but if you like what I'm generally about, or like metro planning and dislike far-right extremism, here you go: secure.actblue.com/donate/wi…

1. Yes it’s still operating
2. Before the 75% staff cut, this business generated ~$5B in revenue. After the cut it is likely to generate ~$2.5B
3. The savings from the firings are likely around $1-$1.5B
Save $1.5 to lose $2.5 (at least the short term!)

Mrbeast recognised it as a facade but I think he's misjudging what happened. No one paid for ads under his tweet, Twitter just pushed his tweet as an unpaid ad, as has been documented, and he was paid a larger share of the ad revenue while everyone else got less
Yeah the whole platform is 80%+ terrible takes and maybe 20% decent content. Really limited reason to even spend much time here, it’ll just make your brain rot

To me, actually brokering a ceasefire agreement is more impressive than “calling for” or “demanding” a ceasefire but that’s just one perspective.
Well said. Very important to understand why the US does what it does
