I'm basically a single issue voter in the next presidential primary: whichever candidate will take court reform the most seriously. You won't be able to govern without it.
we are going to have to start writing laws with explicit addenda preemptively rebutting the most likely bad faith interpretations from future fedsoc hacks.

my paternal great grandparents got off a boat in Newark and were americans from the moment they touched american soil. my only objection to that pattern is that i think we should send a plane to pick up anyone who declares themselves an american.

I love having a smart watch. I’ll get a horrible night of sleep and it’ll send me a notification saying “you got a horrible night of sleep”

I don’t think anti trust world realizes how damaging this sort of stuff is to their reputation. Like truly this level of sloppiness absolutely has made me much more critical of claims about corporate consolidation.
There's a thread from Matt Stoller going around accusing me of lying and purposefully misrepresenting my conversation with the real estate analyst Lance Lambert.

Well, I knew that was wrong.

Here's what happened next.

Gavin Newsom is an unacceptable standard bearer for the coalition, so it’s actually quite useful that he’s willing to set the floor in this way
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

really what is a plane but a nondescript hallway
All airports occupy the same liminal space. And if you can just find the right nondescript hallway, you can actually simply walk between them.

Look at the effort to prop up Cuomo (who gets less popular the more time people spend with him) when there are multiple, long-time, loyal experienced alternatives to Mandani: zombie shit

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates
