HISTORIC WIN: Democrats are on track to fully control government in states with 52% of the population—their first majority since the 1978 elections.
Republicans will drop to just 24%.
Dems may fall just short in the GA, NC, and TX senates due to gerrymandering—these would have added another 16%

Theses on Michigan
1) Jews are 1% of Michigan’s population; Muslims are 2.5%
2) Both groups will probably vote for El-Sayed tomorrow in large majorities (>65%)
3) the “discourse” that appears on the surface to be “about” them is therefore better understood as being about the majority population

The three states with the biggest Black populations are Texas, Florida, and Georgia.
The South has the largest Black population in the country.
The South was never solid red. It was suppressed, gerrymandered and under organized

6/6: Democrats could flip governors or legislatures to gain unified control in AZ, MI, MN, NV, PA, VT, & WI.

what the fuck, frontier LLMs can directly interpret and edit the weights of smaller models rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-...
Sparks of Weight-Space Programming: LLMs can natively read & write neural network weights
We find that frontier LLMs are surprisingly good at natively reading and writing neural network weights, well past what we’d expect from humans or conventional algorithms.

NEW: Democrats have gained control over enough state governments to pass the National Popular Vote Compact and give it a majority of at least 283 electoral votes—13 more than it needs to activate by 2028.

greater los angeles *alone* contains 5% of the nation’s population
No, what I actually say is that the experience of finding housing in the urban core of several metropolitan regions that, generously, contain 5% of the nation’s population, is not reflective of the housing experience of the other 315 million Americans.
the stancilists have corncobbed themselves into housing crisis denialism, which is uh not great

The example I always go to is London (population 9.1 million) vs Virginia (population 8.9 million).
The London mayoral election caps campaign spending per candidate at roughly $1 million (£760,000).
In the 2021 VA governor election, the *lesser*-spending candidate spent $64 million.

This is what voter suppression looks like. Ohio Republicans passed a law allowing only ONE early vote location per county, no matter the county size or population. Shoutout to the people that waited in line for hours to vote.

Westchester, population 1 million, where the newspaper is down to a half-dozen reporters.
It's days like this where I think about how decimated Westchester Co's only county-wide newspaper (Lohud/The Journal News) has become as a result of voids left by voluntary severance offers and layoffs.
The Journal News is where I got my first daily newspaper job as a reporter 10 years ago 1/2

My office is monitoring this issue with scanners in Westchester and is in touch with the state and local Boards of Elections as they work on a solution.
Westchester voters can still safely fill out and turn in their ballots at their polling locations. Your votes will count.
