Mills entering the race against Planter: totally fine

Gillibrand, Schiff and Kelly backing a centrist septugenarian over a chud-coded progressive while strong-arming Kleban into droping out: something I'm actually angry about

It's top quality brain poison. I rec it 10/10. The Best Bravo shows ranked are: Summer House, VPR, Below Deck, Southern Charm. Nex Gen NYC is new but so far, so good.

If you have a broken brain and watch VPR on Bravo, there's a stroyline around Gym Rat and Sociopath Jax Taylor giving himself a pectoral growth thru aggressive creatine and protein intake. After being told to "Stop that" he proceeds to restart his regimen months later because he was "Getting Small"

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

The quantity of lightly regulated stuff gym culture puts in your body is uh....high. Though I am surprised here since in the past the main danger was chocolate flavoring.

We also shouldn't forget that the last person Schumer recruited for Maine, Sara Gideon, flamed out with millions still in the bank despite a VERY favorable midterm fundamental backdrop. That's also coloring people's reactions.

Praxis Thoughts Haver @praxisprocess.bsky.social · 15h

People are making up a guy to get mad at, because very few people are saying Platner should be anointed. Rather people are upset that internal recruitment focused solely on a candidate with 40% statistical likelihood of dying in her first term. A lot of Left punchers showing their asses today.

The whining about Janet Mills jumping into the Maine Senate race is pretty hard to take. It's fine and healthy for our candidates to run in contested primaries. It's dangerous to simply nominate people by acclamation based on internet vibes. Mills isn't even bad, she's just extremely old.

City Council, not assembly*

Tish is who she is thru pure cunning and skill. She's a black woman with 7 siblings. She went to CUNY. She got her Assembly seat by running on the WFP line(!) and made a deal with Cuomo to become AG only to bide her time and knife him when the time was right. She's Flinty as Fuck

Praxis Thoughts Haver @praxisprocess.bsky.social · 17h

Tish has 2 kinds of speech: 1 incredibly eloquent and softly spoken, with occasional black church soaring oratory highs and this kind, the "HIS NAME IS MAMDANI" New York accented "I will bury my enemies" talk. Having been to both, I can say that they are equally enjoyable.

This is the correct view.

it is good that the rookie politician with the good policies and posts is going to be tested by a real primary before running an insanely, impossibly high-stakes statewide race, and it is equally good that the 77-year-old governor will be tested in the same primary

Breaking News: Janet Mills, the Democratic governor of Maine, is running for Senate, aiming to unseat Senator Susan Collins, a Republican.

If you have an MFA you should be forced to wear a shock collar that goes off whenever you write anything approaching auto-fiction or anything without a plot.

Think BNPL and generational savings rates playing a bigger role. Genx and mils are in family formation and "fuck my 401k is small" mode whereas Genz isnt and has access to unregulated loans on their phones.

Big Side Benefit of anti-corruption: Right Wing politics is primarily funded by people who got rich thru zero/negative sum behavior. MLMs, Car-dealers, Crpyto grifters, hustle influencers etc. You go after them and conservatives run out of money.

Here is some findings from a survey experiment I did. We tested support for candidates based on support liberal democracy vs strengthening anti-corruption.

Anti-corruption was much higher than traditional liberal democracy AND its resilient to partisanship!
