Just puttin this here. The winds are shifting. You won't catch the big momentum if you don't have your sails up first.

Stancil has been the target of some strange and incessant online harassment campaigns, including a recent series of racially noxious, AI-generated cartoons. I don't know how he does it, but there's a lot to learn from his fearless approach.
A Tweet from Will Stancil @whstancil When the right gets mad at you every attempted takedown is some variation on calling you a f-----t, or some variation on calling something else, which I'm not gonna say, but it ends with "lover."

And we've had this tech since 1972!
Signetics FULLY ENCODED, 9046 X N, RANDOM ACCESSS WRITE-ONLY MEMORY WRITE-ONLY-MEMORY FINAL SPECIFICATION (10) 25120 DESCRIPTION The Signetics 25000 Series 9C46XN Random Access Write-Only-Memory employs both enhancement and depletion mode P-Channel, N-Channel and Neu" channel MOS devices. Although a static device, a single TTL level clock phase is required to drive the on-board multi-port clock generator. Data refresh is accomplished during CB and LH periods Quadri- state outputs (when applicable) allow expansion in many directions, depending on organization. The static memory cells are operated dynamically to yield extremely low power dissipation. All inputs and outputs are directly TL compatible when proper interfacing circuitry is employed. Device construction is more or less S.O.S.*) FEATURES • FULLY ENCODED MULTI-PORT ADDRESSING • WRITE CYCLE TIME 80S (MAX. TYPICAL) | • WRITE ACCESS TIME®* • POWER DISSIPATION 10uW/BIT TYPICAL • CELL REFRESH TIME 1mS (MIN. TYPICAL) • TTL/DTL COMPATIBLE INPUTS * : AVALA BINE CAPACISANCE 2PF MAX. • vc€ = +10V • V°° = OV ‡2% • v* = 6.3Vac(6) DRI INPUT PROTECTION All terminals are provided with slip-on latex protectors for the prevention of Voltage Destruction. (PILL packaged devices do not require protection.) SILICON PACKAGING Low cost silicon DIP packaging is implemented and reliability is assured by the use of a non-hermetic sealing technique which prevents the entrapment of harmful ions., but which allows the free exchange of friendly ions. SPECIAL FEATURES Because of the employment of the Signetics proprietary Sanderson-Rabbet Channel the 25120 will provide 50% higher speed than you will obtain. COOLING The 25120 is easily cooled by the employment of a six foot fan ⅓* from the package. If the device fails you have exceeded the ragings. In such cases, more air is recommended.

Ngl, I was skeptical of your recent arguments concerning the relative *quantities* of people involved in the CRM vs. No Kings. I respect Angus Johnston's position a *lot*. But you're right: the raw numbers matter. The NYT certainly knows it. We ought to know it, too.

This NYT Magazine profile of a notorious dictator from 1939 reads exactly like it would today, complete with fawning, breezy prose and generous visuals.
The New York Times Magazine, August 20, 1939. Headline: HERR HITLER: AT HOME IN THE CLOUDS. Subhed: High up on his favorite mountain he finds time for politics, solitude and frequent official parties. By HEDWIG MAUER SIMPSON Dateline: MUNICH. BERCHTESGADEN, where Hitler has spent most of his Summer, is the home of his own choice. When he was still editor of the Voelkische Beobachter and little more than an adventurous figure among the scores of German party leaders he bought a little country house on a foothill of one of the three Alpine peaks which dominate the Berchtesgaden valley. The old house, called Wachenfeld, remained practically unaltered until National Socialism had passed through the danger zone of 1934, as the Nazis call the blood purge of June 30. and the abortive attempt of an Anschluss, which Mussolini stopped with his armies on the Brenner frontier. As Hitler's position was consolidated his mountain home became a center of government, as well as of social and diplomatic activity, and it was decided to rebuild. The handsome new nouse the Berghof, on the hill, is in many ways less private than the old Wachenfeld; it has seen many visitors of distinction, including kings and heads of foreign governments, yet this does not mean that Hitler has given up the privilege of retiring when he likes. ORDINARY life at the Berghof centers around a man who claims to be a visionary with a somnambulist's imperviousness to the commonplace rules of everyday routine, yet it has a setting which contains all the elements of exacting and secret-police efficiency. The house, furnished harmoniously in the best of German traditions, contains beautiful common rooms, a large central hall, a sitting room facing west and overlooking the deep bowl amid Alpine heights in which the quaint old market town of Berchtesgaden is situated, a spacious dining room (the bar of which does not owe its existence to Adolf Hitler), a long veranda with sliding glass doors leading out…

This guy really doesn't have much of a moral or intellectual compass, does he?

Apropos of nothing, here are some of James Carville's houses.
A lavish seaside condo building. A luxurious New Oreleans mansion with a broad porch, elaborate wood work, and what would be for any normal person a ruinously expensive landscape budget. A low, sleek, and impeccably kept mansion.

What this says about an ostensibly professional Dem messaging guy's media literacy is one thing. And the ethics of a (minor) attempted coverup is another (minor) thing. But the 1999 quote that Rosenberg doesn't want us to read is also hilariously clumsy and revealing in it's own right:
Rosenberg said in 1999, "Our problem as a party is that the biggest source of our venture capital now comes from labor, which is a group that's becoming less and less important, and representing less and less of a percentage of American voters. ... We have to replace labor's investment in the party with investment from another source, [end]

Of course, editing your own Wikipedia entry is a violation of Wikipedia's editorial standards, so he got called out for it and overridden by other editors. He then got huffy and condescending about not being allowed to dictate his own biography. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_ta...

Here are pictures of the authors of this article (Samantha Delouya, left, and Elisabeth Buchwald, right). I used the same fair and evenhanded editorial sensibility as CNN in selecting these images.
