There's a difference between a blowout and a mandate. Confusing the two could tempt Democrats to overread the results and forget the serious credibility problem they still face heading into 2028.
Democrats could learn wrong message from a blowout victory
A big Election Night could mask the party's larger image problem.

I don't think signaling explains all human behavior, but people who don't think in signaling terms have, I have found, a very different understanding of the world from me. Then again I am not very socially adept, SO

I think people who say things like this think they’re winning points for being classy and open-minded, but they’re just signaling to malicious people that they can be rolled around.

The US struck Iran’s Qeshm Island. The latest in a series of covert attacks in recent weeks, even as Trump publicly holds out the prospect of a diplomatic deal. Behind the scenes, Washington is escalating militarily while signaling a willingness to negotiate.

we should absolutely reject inert moralism that treats action in the material world as merely a stage for moral expression, as if things we do don't have actual material consequences. but vice signaling overcorrection in favor of chasing some fake aesthetic of realism is just another form of that

Cynical take: The people who say they don't think in terms of signaling really are thinking in terms of signaling, but part of being socially successful/aware is not explicitly seeing things as signaling (even as that's what your brain is really doing). They may even not be aware of this disconnect.

This is significant because the Pope is basically signaling that the U.S. midterm elections warrant INTERNATIONAL attention.
And he would be right.

He may be the leader of the Catholic church, but Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV is still a registered voter in Illinois and requested a mail ballot for the midterm elections.

Pope Leo will vote from the Vatican, by mail, in Illinois' midterm election
That mail ballot had to travel a long way — from Joliet to the Vatican City, where Pope Leo XIV has led the Catholic church since white smoke appeared from the Sistine Chapel in May 2025.

Its interesting how, in the absence of Sufficient Guys, they are going for signaling the exitance of guys.
ie, putting observers in all states instead of focused efforts on marginal ones.

The catalytic residue of the TLR4 TIR is required for immune signaling in human cells.
In our updated preprint with @v-hornung.bsky.social’s lab, we show that a single point mutation in this site abolishes the LPS response in macrophages 🧵
