Yes, but that would have required MAGA to not be MAGA.
As we say in French, with enough if you could fit Paris in a bottle.

i think it's funny how MAGA could have probably run the economy hands off while inflation came down and growth came up and won Gen Z voters but instead are likely going to be associated with moving voters back to the social democratic/democratic socialist Left
the comments to this Fox News article are so fucking funny, man
literally conservative boomers being like "yeah, fuck Gen Z"

Just speaking as someone who’s spent a good chunk of life advocating for unpopular goals or policies: appealing to “viewpoint discrimination” is the tell, and the weenie move. Bailing to the adults and working the refs, simply embarrassing for a person with a spine to do, even as a late teen.

Wow, I had no idea.
But I think a lot of people have no idea how badly AIDs was stigmatized at the time. I've been (re)reading the amazing _Spectre_ series by John Ostrander, and one of his leads has HIV. Totally courageous. 1992. The same year Isaac died.

In 1983, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov had triple bypass surgery at NYU Medical Center, during which he contracted HIV from transfusions.
His doctors advised him not to disclose his status because of anti-AIDS sentiment.
He died 1992 from AIDS-related complications.

Um, this is a problem. Like a real problem. Not a Biden-stumbled-on-a-word level problem. An actual problem.
talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Slow zones are a big problem for CTA in large part because Chicago is just such a geographically huge city. The trains really need to be fast to be effective.
Taking "rapid" out of "rapid transit." Over 20% of @chicagocta.bsky.social usable rail length is classified as being in a slow zone. Capital funding is next big transit challenge to tackle. Accelerating I-290 (Eisenhower/Congress) roadway/transit project addresses ~1/4 of the slow zone trackage.
The T’s dedication to slow zone removal has led to pretty dramatic ridership improvements. It’s a model that should be emulated elsewhere.

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

You people have got to stop saying this kind of thing. I’m sorry that 15 years ago a CS professor said something obnoxious in a faculty meeting but the idea that humanities degrees are “not tied to capitalism” while STEM degrees are is some of the purest bullshit I’ve ever seen in my life.
