one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

You ever think about how there was only 1 to 2 months between the actual wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Gordon Lightfoot recording his song.
And how weird and slightly deranged it would be if someone had dropped a banger about a contemporary disaster on its heels.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

HHS contractor here. We don't get back pay when we're furloughed. All I wanted was for the Dems to hold the line on the ACA demands. I called my senators and told them as much.
Now I'll be out six weeks of income for nothing.

After a 40-day shutdown over healthcare premiums increasing, 8 Democrats broke ranks to end it.
What they got in exchange? A dedicated Senate vote on raising premiums that Republicans will obviously win.
So, the shutdown was pointless. Democrats just won on Tuesday and still found a way to lose
