Make it a fundraiser for the inaugural. $500 gets you a commemorative sledgehammer and 5 minutes to do your worst.

Why aren’t elected Dems publicly telling Trump that they’re going to raze the ballroom the minute the next D is elected?

He would lose his shit.

I was super hopeful for Platner's candidacy. But his appeal was not something uniquely him. Literally any middle class Mainer that can articulate righteous anger with empathy for working people would have the same support. Can we please focus on recruiting (and vetting) those people?

Trust me, if I wanted to know, I would know. And now out of spite I'm refusing to examine this further.

The amount of time way too many people are wasting right now pretending the Platner campaign isn’t over could be much better spent trying to find someone else to stop an 80 year old from becoming the Democratic nominee.

2028 D primary voters are going to flock to the candidate that most loudly and credibly promises to destroy all the works of the current guy and send him to prison.

The New York Times editorial board and various billionaires will hatch increasingly zany schemes to stop that, and fail.

They overlooked "grab 'em by the pu$$y". I think voters' willingness to vote for someone they view as authentic despite problematic past utterances has been fairly well proven at this point. But a primary will be a big test.

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

Obviously doesn't excuse the things he said, but I do think this is a pretty strong example of attempting to take accountability and an example more men and boys need these days.

Democrats digging up dirt on a populist political candidate was inevitable. This seems like a reasonable response.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

Didn't go to film school? Don't worry. Legendary investor and movie buff Marc Andreessen doesn't think that will be an issue for future creatives.

During an episode of "Monitoring the Situation," the podcast for the venture capitalist firm that Andreessen cofounded, A16z, he said advancements in AI technology — like OpenAI's Sora 2 — have made it possible for a new type of filmmaker to emerge.

"The filmmaker with no visual skill, or access to a set, or to a camera, or to actors, but with an idea," Andreessen said on Friday. "It's going to start with shorts and animated things and so forth, but it's going to work its way up to full movies."

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 8d

Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

For all of the handwriting about Mills jumping into the ME Senate race, I'm not sure she's ready for what's about to happen in that primary. People are PISSED and an octogenarian centrist vs a rip shit oysterman ain't gonna go the way the establishment thinks.

I think the similarity to paper is a huge factor for how it "works" for me. I've tried other options but the distance btw the writing tip and the display makes precise writing really difficult/annoying.

How is the tactile feel of writing on the supernote compared to say paper or a typical tablet w stylus?

Yup. Pensions and 401ks take the brunt, then major players get bailed out and we pay for it twice in national debt service.
