Friends, voting third party will not "end the duopoly" in national politics. The system was not made for more than two political parties. This is the system we have to work with.
this is such a lazy comment. And only places blame on half the problem. End the duopoly vote 3rd party.

There is no possible scenario in which a Ken Paxton win does more to advance trans rights. If you’re thinking that, seek professional help.

You are far better off advocating to a centrist D into advancing trans rights. Any R is not even going to give you time of the day.
One of James Telerico or Ken Paxton will be the next senator from Texas. If you're telling people not to support Telerico, you're saying you want Paxton to win. That's it. You cannot select a different, third bespoke person to be senator like buying a tailored suit.

people have been convinced that every institution is a retail institution, at root, and that the job of institutions is to satisfy and delight the user.
This is so well put. People treat institutions like retailers. They think the can vent or boycott or demand changes that don't involve any personal commitment from themselves. And they think if they change their mind, or realize it was just a dumb phase, that institutions will simply adapt to them.
wrote about this last year and sure I wasn't in any way the only one but imo people voting for populist politics in the 21st century *is* a sign that they do just have too much faith in institutions, as opposed to not enough - they want to have their little tantrum but assume things will just hold

TX is most likely staying red, and so is OH. The rest might be up for grabs.
🚨 FORECAST FLIP — Democrats are now favored to take back the Senate.

It’s the first Democratic lead in our Senate forecast since it launched in May. Across individual contests, Democrats hold the edge in enough races for a 52-seat majority; overall control remains a tossup.

The only cruel people here are the ones who've spent the past ten years dragging this country to worse and worse places, because the alternative was loudly supporting a politician the internet decided was cringe.

And then, there'll be cameras on glasses that record everything around you to "summarize" it for you.

Oh, wait ...
Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.

I mean, traffic here has always been a shit show
Gonna call it now: week 1 will be crazy. Week 2 a little elevated. Week 3: nearly normal. By week 5 we’re gonna be so close to normal traffic levels at the same time experiencing peak transit and bike ridership. All in time to revert back

Yep - you can turn off the entire thing using the Power button.
I find my Apple Watch extremely useful and I’d like to buy a new one at some point when this one dies, but I absolutely do not want something recording my conversations or telling me my “health age” or “longevity score” and need to know I can turn that shit off

would actually be amazing if apple introduces an iPhone 18 Pro Mini instead of a stupid ultra foldable (that'll probably cost more than a laptop)

dealing with reviewing a lot of ai slop today ... dev who's paid at x/hr spent less time actually writing code, so I (paid at probably 3x/hr) has to spend more time reviewing it.

remind me again, why using ai is cheaper?
