I have no idea. My point is that you can't take one state poll 2+ years before any primaries before any candidate has announced as evidence that the Democrats aren't trying to win.

I'm a progressive, and I'm a big fan of Pritzker. Klobuchar and Beshear would also work well. There are also several I like who *aren't* in this one specific poll because, as noted, the *1st* primary vote isn't for another 2+ years. An eternity in politics.

One poll of one state 3 years out is not evidence of anything. Obama would’ve polled at 1% in 2005.

It’s better enough than 1 or 2 that it could belong in its own category (“not bad”?) and has moments of harrowing greatness — the slaughter of the young Padwans being one of the top ones.

chatgpt error: it claims ghostbusters is on the list twice; at 12 and at 100.

brain-boiling from lockdown and such is absolutely part of it but I'm mostly referring to the sheer weight of unprocessed grief bsky.app/profile/docs...
That’s right. The experience of Covid comprehensively and irreparably boiled the brains of at least a third of our fellow citizens and we’re gonna be dealing with the consequences of this shit for the rest of our lives.

I don't think enough people know Tim LaVoie's Elder Cactus, especially the entire hilarious "Tony Lazuto Says Hello" series (this page is an archive, but you hit "previous" to go to the next one.)

for reasons that escape me, Bsky’s GIF game is… not strong.

Polyamory is the only solution. All these people are too hot.

Dinklage is working HARD to make us forget how hot he is. No other Malvolio has had more hotness to overcome.
