One that (ahem) flew under the radar was that a bald eagle had to be rescued from JD Vance’s backyard in Cincinnati.

JD couldn’t name more than 2 presidents from Ohio. The dude lives on William Howard Taft Rd and he couldn’t come up with Taft. Just an incredible incurious dumbass.

I think it used to be true after the world wars killed millions of mostly men and maybe it just stuck. Or, it is true in the US and people just extrapolate.

Much funnier than his weak joke is that the hero economist gets the one stat in this mess wrong. Women make up less than half of the global population.

Really? I think the impression I get here is that he’s kind of an empty suit. Credit to him for the connected communities plan and paying off residents’ medical debt, but those will be used against him statewide.

Goodin tried the “I don’t care what you think of me” appeal to voters, surprised that didn’t play.

It’s by no means the most important thing, but Spirit in the Sky, a song by a Jewish guy that says he’s got a friend in Jesus reads to me like a purposeful message to the haters.

JD is going to watch Ramaswamy’s run for governor very intently and then make a call.

Good point. A critique I’ve seen from other organizers about No Kings is its failure to convert enough single day participants into more active participants and I think that’s fair.

Perhaps one way to square this is by instead thinking about daily active participants instead of topline attendance figures. Daily boycotting vs semi-annual march. And that line of thinking reveals to me that we’re comparing a movement vs not (yet) a movement.

And that highlights that this comparison is between a movement and not (yet!) a movement

I know you’ve rightly moved on from this but: seems to me you’d want to get a daily active number to measure meaningful participation. A person boycotting buses daily is represents 365X a person who goes to one protest a year.

I forgot about the leaks. I was thinking of feeling disoriented no matter how many times I was in there. Possible skill issue.

In light of this, and seeing the increased demand from data centers and the news that carbon offsets are largely useless, do you think it’s possible to shift offset model to get tech majors to pay for residential PV and heat pumps etc?

If tech majors are driving up electricity demand while buying junk offsets, making an actual material difference addresses both problems.

How can we shift from carbon offsets to a program where tech majors, or any other corporation, instead buy residential solar pv, batteries, and heat pumps and put them in people’s houses?

Great point. The giveaway is that they always say he’s on the race beat even though he’s almost never talking about racial issues.
