i subscribed to the red zone channel in order to hear the latest about draftkings, but i'd conservatively estimate that 75% of the broadcast has nothing to do with draftkings. they keep trying to shoehorn in all these football games. i don't like football. i don't watch football. what is this shit

The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department

they'll never air the episode of shark tank i was on. i think i'm still the only person to locate the suitcase of money and run off without making a business pitch (it was behind daymond's chair near the flower pot). the key is, since they're sitting and you're standing, you have a major head start

It goes against the conventional wisdom of how democracy is supposed to work, but it seems clear to me that electoral politics would be functioning a lot better if we had much lower turnout like pre-2018
not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

Political polarization is a lot worse than it was even 4 years ago and if you disagree maybe try thinking about the fact we have now essentially segregated Twitter into X (conservative echo chamber) and Bluesky (liberal echo chamber)

The 2024 Congressional election in NJ's 11th Congressional District, a contest between three term incumbent Mikie Sherrill and Pro-Trump Stalwart Joseph Belnome returned the second closest race of Sherrill's carreer so far, being slightly redder than her 2018 win.

Republicans, while successful this election, are still fairly unpopular and once Trump is gone his successors will have trouble replicating his coalition to the same extent. If you don't believe this you aren't looking at the Gallego/Lake or Boebert races
What’s so bizarre about this election is Trump is *outrunning* a lot of GOP house candidates, there haven’t been any crazy upsets in blue states that swung right, and some of the most vulnerable dems will seemingly hold on, I have no idea what to make of that

Hey my house predictions are still doing alright somehow, probably going to be 10-ish seats off because of obvious Republican overperformance. I nailed Gov races but that's about where my successes end
