The Senate candidate who overperformed Harris *more than anyone* was Nebraska's Dan Osborn, an independent union organizer who ran on an aggressively working class populist campaign. I wonder why there've been virtually no think pieces or cable news panels about this.

Secrets of our success talked about this sort of thing. But it’s still extremely hard to internalize the extent to which early humans ran absurd experiments constantly and discovered the most insane shit. Like every time still I’m surprised.
Thread: Before refrigeration, Russians kept the milk fresh by dropping live brown frogs straight into their milk buckets. The frog’s presence kept milk from spoiling, but no one knew why. Until Albert Lebedev, a scientist from Moscow State University decided to look into it...

It’s interesting that people don’t directly link their loneliness or lack of community with their unwillingness to show up for or feel any sense of obligation to others.
