Starting a running thread of new music I’m listening to. Goal is one new album a day.

First up, Architects’ first album Hollow Crown. Great stuff. If I’d snagged it in 2009 when it released, it would have become a sizable part of my personality. I can see why Architects has the following they do.

I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

yeah, I'm far from a Catholic, but going to the Vatican is going to be awe inspiring to nearly every human on earth, it's almost encoded into our instincts. Hell, sports stadiums can trade in similar responses.

Again- the GOP certainly don't think that it's over. The guys *doing this* don't think they seized ultimate power over the budget and don't need Dems or Congress anymore. *They* don't seem to think it's Duma Hours.

Genuinely believe that our PR needs to revolve around the fact that our QoL, our communities, infrastructure and economy, are all better functioning and more joyful when we’re dancing WITH the classes this admin wants to oppress than when we aren’t

Holy shit. Tsai is notorious for drinking on the job and making jokes about spiking people's drinks. Did these guys do any research at all?

Oh 100%. I’m a skeptic about his whole deal and winning a primary would do a whole lot to convince me that it’s legit

You can see people pre-baking the narrative for if (when?) he loses and it’s all very tedious

So the emerging consensus I’m seeing re: Platner seems to be “my guy is sure to win and shame on you for making him prove that”

CJ 🏳️‍🌈🤘 @nemoblue.bsky.social · 9h

my man, nobody is "sure to win" against Susan Collins, she is literally one of the most talented & successful Republican politicians of the last 60+ years. anyone who says ANY Democrat is a sure thing in Maine clearly has no clue what the fuck they're talking about other than their own vibes.

feels like it is very important to remind everyone atm that Susan Collins was down around ~10-12 at this point in the 2020 cycle to all the potential Dem candidates, and she went on to beat her otherwise pretty popular challenger in the general by *8 full points* in a blue wave cycle.
