This is the natural end result of demanding 2-5 years of experience for every position, including experience with technologies that didn't exist 2-5 years ago.
Tech has completely uncoupled the skills to do a job from the job description, and now wants AI to solve the problem.

if you start from the view that there's a policy compromise you can make that will calm people down, you can end up supporting some very authoritarian stuff very quickly

Democrats are on track to win 64 of Virginia's 100 House seats.
That'd be THIRTEEN flips; the chamber is 51/49 right now.

I have actually not seen Mamdani give a formal speech and what I’ll say is that unlike so many of his peers he is not trying to mimic anyone in his delivery. He is simply being himself and it is very effective.
I’ve been interested in political speeches for as long as I can remember. I’ve listened to nearly every inaugural and major address, and I’ve given tons of public speeches myself.
Zohran’s talent in this arena ranks among the best. He’s damn good. Hella good. Remarkably good.
Crazy to watch.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is on @cnn.com congratulating Dems—without mentioning @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social until pressed.
As a colleague said today, those opposing this president’s anti-democratic moves should also protest an “opposition” that refuses to be a real opposition party.
I agree.

John Lindsay won with over 1 million votes in the 1969 mayoral race, in which over 3 million votes were cast. Zohran received more votes today than Lindsay in 1969.
However, it's too soon to say whether Zohran will match Lindsay's 1965 1,149,106 votes.
