This is an important datapoint
In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

Another datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right

A quarter-billion dollars in one night is a pretty vivid datapoint for the guns-vs.-butter debate.
Trump on Fox & Friends: "They're dying to make a deal. They want to make a deal so badly. We dropped $250 million of bombs on them last night. They're really in submission. They just don't know it yet."

Another datapoint in the “young men haven’t turned conservative the media just thinks a 55 year old guy listening to Rogan is young for unclear reasons”
Gen X is at +5 support for ICE while millennials are at -25.

Is this at all related to the United States banning lead paint in houses in 1978?
Some interesting stuff in the cross-tabs.

another datapoint for the “your mutual aid network cannot replace state capacity” crowd
Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Another datapoint for the argument that we are living through an increasingly ludicrous market bubble

One more datapoint - bourbon accounts? wow.

i love how every article now reads like something you'd find as an ancient datapoint amidst the ruins of our dead society in a post-apocalyptic video game

Yet another datapoint that Twitter is for billionaires and their bootlickers.
I never saw any “backlash” to Pablo’s reporting and I realize now it’s because I’m not on Twitter lol.

What a cesspool!

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

Every new datapoint makes me dislike this candidate more
March 26, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Also another datapoint on the pointlessness of staying on the bad place
March 17, 2026 at 11:10 PM
Another datapoint for the hypothesis that a sucker is born every minute

'Vast majority of CEOs/prisoners" is such a wonderful faux datapoint, as if becoming a CEO or prisoner arises from a flawless objective process for determining the right people for those roles.

A local datapoint for Just Be Normal Theory
November 8, 2023 at 2:42 AM
Another datapoint for "It's a tool, not a substitute"
June 2, 2026 at 2:40 PM
Another datapoint for "all novel usecases that the blockchain creates are for crimes"
August 24, 2026 at 6:32 PM
Every day another datapoint for how these guys were right

Another datapoint for how tech sector dominance is hollowing out the rest of the US economy
Wanna see a crazy chart? Of course you do.

Spending on constructing datacenters and manufacturing facilities for computers & electronic products in the US now exceeds the entire retail and wholesale industry and almost as much as the rest of the office and manufacturing sectors combined.

Great datapoint to add to the paper when you submit it to another journal.
April 19, 2025 at 4:22 PM
Also another datapoint in favor of my "'lowest common denominator' marketing is a consequence of rich people who aren't particularly smart themselves imagining the average person is even dumber (because they'd have to be to justify the wealth disparity)" thesis

Datapoint: Chuck Schumer not posting once about yesterday’s protests before they happened, then spending the evening posting over and over about how important they were and how proud he was to attend.
In the last few months, it's started to feel to me like things were finally changing, and in the last few weeks it's become more and more obvious.

The sheer weight of public awareness of the nature of our crisis is rendering politicians' fecklessness untenable.
