it's still very possible that Ds somewhat underperform polls and end up getting only 49 or 50 in the senate.
It's also increasingly clear that if Ds somewhat overperform polls, we're looking at a blue wave of biblical proportions, where Ds get to 52 and then IA, KS, FL, NE are all in play.

we're working on the v2 of our standard.site link cards. these cards currently link to both the article (top part) and publication (bottom part). they show a "Subscribe" button when possible, otherwise a "View Publication" button.
what changes would you all like to see in the next version?

It keeps confusing me that the main call to action in these cards (the button) does NOT go to the article but to the main website
Is it just me that finds this weird...? The main visual CTA for a card about an article should go to that article no...?

There's no such thing as a "safe Democratic state." I'm old enough to remember when the governors of California, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York were *Republicans*.

CDs are growing faster than vinyl in the US for the first time in over a decade, sales up 16% vs vinyl's 2.4%, per Luminate. K-pop drives part of it, but even without it, CD sales still rose 6.7%. Cheaper, collectible, and increasingly popular with Gen Z.

I dislike the idea that NYC is the place where you can morph into someone new, b/c it relies on the consant subjugation of Black american New Yorkers to make it happen. Analyzing historical maps of the city reveal waves of mass displacement since the 1800's. Where do we go while you find yourselves?
I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel
