think there’s a (small, but legit) chance we get D-TX, NC, maybe IA and OH, and R-ME and MI

Obv not what I’m hoping for but something like this would be an admittedly very funny outcome

sure ok
One of the most replicable findings in all of American political statistical analysis is that Republicans give significantly more to charity and volunteer more for the poor than democrats do. It's not even close. It has never been close.

a round trip plane ticket to Dubai and a pair of bolt cutters is a lot cheaper than a b200. much to consider

a useful heuristic here imo is to imagine the type of person who outwardly (and inwardly, probably) identifies as an independent, nonpartisan mind, and loudly proclaims their vote needs to be earned. how does that demo tend to vote? i’d guess roughly 80-20 GOP
Talarico is the favorite, but there are more ways to look at this: Eg, "if you haven't decided to vote against Paxton by now, what could possibly convince you to" or "these undecideds are probably 3x Trump voters; getting them to break hard Paxton is easier than changing minds."

honestly i’d probably pay extra
99% of people would agree to be sedated and stacked like cordwood if they could save 25% on a flight, this is all the consumer’s fault

yes we’re summoning a demon. and sure, yes, the demon might kill us all. but it’s ok, we’re gonna slow down the ritual so things don’t go poorly. we’ll just keep a very close eye on the lines of the pentagram. stop? but we can’t, the schismatics are summoning one as we speak!

“good news or bad news first?” “good news please” “well, we found a natural, non-pharmaceutical cure for depression!” “oh, amazing. what’s the bad news?” “it’s the most expensive agricultural product on the planet”
studies show saffron is as effective for depression as SSRIs and as effective for ADHD as ritalin why is nobody talking about this?

New editorial standard should be use as much AI as you want but all prompting must be disclosed. Add it like a footnote to pieces online versions
New - Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller tells me "of course" he used AI to write op-ed on Bessent & bond market "There's a reason I moved from an English major to being an economics major," he says, "I'm not embarrassed by it" No response from WSJ notus.org/media/stanley-druc…

seems a little weird to pick on ows when twenty years later literally the entirety of american politics (on both sides!) has become just nonstop railing about the elites. ows won, the entire nation’s on board. when was the last time u heard a politician defend big business?
Trying to explain Occupy: "So, after the financial crash a bunch of people were camping in lower Manhattan demanding change. No, I don't really remember exactly what they wanted. No, nothing really ever happened. Look, you gotta understand, it felt really important at the time."

is it simply too much to ask for a model which is willing and able to say “no, you’re wrong, and that’s a stupid fucking question anyways”
