Moving right won’t help the Democrats win elections. Moving left won’t help the Democrats win elections. The only thing that will help is moving down. It’s time for the Democrats to become the party of molemen

it's funny everytime we hear "dems should focus more on economic issues" it's never "we should improve universal provisioning" but rather "how do we do another means tested program" among a certain type of wonk

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

in order to deserve help, you must be miserable, disheveled, and dressed in rags whilst you also spend every waking moment looking for full time employment. if you are poor and taking care of yourself or god forbid enjoying your life, you're a criminal!

It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now

Semafor newsletter via @willsommer.bsky.social. I have expired. I am deceased.

Washington Post CEO Will Lewis has largely stayed out of the public eye as the paper has scaled back its staff and altered the direction of its opinion page. But that hasn't stopped him from recruiting. In recent months, Lewis attempted to hire the Free Press reporter Olivia Reingold, two people familiar with the situation told Semafor, an idea that he discussed with owner Jeff Bezos, who supported the move. The idea was for Reingold to serve as one of the first new faces in the paper's overhauled opinion section, with Bezos' new focus on free markets and personal liberties. The attempt to hire Reingold to create written and video opinion content is part of the Post's push to make the paper's journalists engage in different mediums; the paper announced earlier this year that it was launching a creator network and hiring staff to create more personality-driven content. Reingold declined to comment; a spokesperson for the Post said the paper doesn't comment on hiring discussions.

We tested out Zenni's anti-facial recognition glasses coating. It actually (kinda, technically) works? "ID Guard" adds a pink sheen to the surface of the glasses that reflects the infrared light used by some facial recognition cameras. So, only threats like that
