The only thing that could have stopped Mamdani, is trump endorsing Mamdani…
We’re going to keep seeing it play out, Trump’s endorsement when he’s not on the ballot has always been negligible at best, often detrimental.
trumpers don’t vote unless they can also vote for trump. And the reliable Republican voters don’t like maga candidates.
It’s why I hope red state redistricting goes thru, they’ll overshoot what’s plausible and end excavating the coming progressive wave.
Great post OP…
This post was rejected for the following reason(s):
This is an automated rejection. No LLM generated, heavily assisted/co-written, or otherwise reliant work. An LLM-detection service flagged your post as >50% likely to be written by an LLM. We’ve been having a wave of LLM written or co-written work that doesn’t meet our quality standards. LessWrong has fairly specific standards, and your first LessWrong post is sort of like the application to a college. It should be optimized for demonstrating that you can think clearly without AI assistance.
So, we reject all LLM generated posts from new users. We also reject work that falls into some categories that are difficult to evaluate that typically turn out to not make much sense, which LLMs frequently steer people toward.*
There’s a huge rabbit hole with HDMI certification…
Like, display port is better in everyway, but people make a shit ton of money off putting “HDMI certified” on products, so that’s still the default.
“I’m like you know what, I’m going go run for Congress. This is crazy because that’s kind of like discrimination! Like putting you in the back of the bus, or you know, ‘hey, you’re Jewish, go into the bathroom, here’s a ham sandwich.’ It’s like, illegal!”
To clarify, the video is still up on YouTube…
The “discrimination” is he thinks it should have millions of views. And instead it only has 35k.
does it not then have the potential to water down enough districts to make them swing districts,
That’s how gerrymandering always works…
You want to get every district to where you’d barely win, and jam all the extra people who would vote against you into as few districts as possible that they will definitely win.
The obvious danger is if you gerrymander too much, and a wave shows up, you could potentially lose everything because you no longer have any “safe” districts.
I’ve been saying since the beginning that we’re better off letting them do all this redistricting ASAP, that way we can start the groundwork to win enough of those close districts to take the whole state government
I don’t think the suspect will claim it, but…
A law enforcement official said that police have not yet determined a motive, MS NOW reported.
But the suspect has been linked to statements that show support for an anarchist ideology, two people briefed on the arrest told the news outlet.
The cops/feds are 100% going to say it, and already basically are.
Complete with the performative Carhartt over a suit…
they still have Respawn making Star Wars games.
I mean, that’s an exclusivity thing again…
From 2013 to 2023 only EA could work on Star Wars games. It was supposed to be a bunch of high quality epic games…
We got a couple that were decent because there’s no alternatives. And most of the time was wasted on battlefront and it’s terrible micro transactions.
Like…
"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.
Literally came from the beginning of that exclusivity deal…
EA:
We can go lower
Like, everyone knows that EA is a terrible company, but it’s insane how they continually lower the bar. It’s honestly impressive how EA keeps innovating new ways to piss off consumers.
If they ever lose their sports exclusivity contracts, they’re cooked.
Madden and FIFA is why they’ll never stop being profitable
Ironically enough, if they wouldn’t have insisted on calling it a war, they’d have gotten away with it
America killing innocent civilians has been a thing since before Obama normalized it to the point everyone stopped caring.
We can’t settle for a do nothing moderate like Biden again, we have to hold these people accountable the second we can
Americans don’t recognize the ICC when US military are the defandents…
The United States signed the 1999 Rome Statute but it never ratified the treaty, taking the position that the International Criminal Court (ICC) lacks fundamental checks and balances.[1] The American Service-Members’ Protection Act of 2002 further limited US involvement with the ICC. The ICC reserves the right of states to prosecute war crimes, and the ICC can only proceed with prosecution of crimes when states do not have willingness or effective and reliable processes to investigate for themselves.

It’s like with Netenyahu, someone has to comply and arrest them and take them to court, even then it’s debatable if the court would hold them for trial.
In normal times, the GOP nominee, Matt Van Epps, would be considered a shoo-in. But after Democrats stormed to victory in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere earlier this month – bringing with it evidence that voters who had backed the president were changing their minds – the party and its allies have poured money into the campaign of state representative Aftyn Behn, hoping to pull off what would amount to a coup.
A big reason we’re making these gains, is the DNC spent a decade stealing donations from state parties via the “victory fund” and as soon as Martin took DNC chair, he started the biggest redistribution of funds from the DNC to state parties.
Neoliberals were just not fighting in a lot of places, which is the only reason Republicans have the House.
Not trying to downplay the gains we’ve made, just saying there’s a fundamental reason why, and it’s logical to keep expecting it to pay off not just here but in midterms too. Pretty much every state has been operating at campaign levels for 9 months now. We’re putting in a shit ton of groundwork already, while Republicans are gonna keep doing the 3-5 month mad dash before elections.
Killing survivors of a destroyed vessel is literally an example of a war crime in the U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual. “For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal,” the manual reads.
RTFM
If we’re at “war” the second strike was a war crime…
If we’re not at “war” then all of them have been.
Not a pardon if you still claim innocence…
“You cannot grant him a pardon without an admission of guilt, an expression of remorse, and an immediate retirement from political life,” said Lapid.
I bet he looked shocked to find out…
Being a 35 year old new mother and having a nephew’s son the same age as you to worry about are just one of the joys of your father selling you off to his best friend who met you as an infant.
That shit has to be the most confusing holiday gatherings ever.
Honestly?
I think it’ll be the opposite, an immediate look of relief. He might even look normal.
It won’t be unique to Kash, aside from Stephen Miller I don’t think any of them are actually enjoying this.
What hypothetical candidate would win all of a large state like Cali by a huge margin but lose to a Republican in enough smaller states that they lose the general?
Like, you know the EC is relatively proportional like the House, it’s not set up like the Senate…
Fucking stupid to do this shit while trump is still in power…
Wait till their gone, then when you co trol the material, you can do an actual investigation.
Edit:
Pretty wild people think we should get the people who edited the Epstein files to audit the Epstein files to see if they’d been edited…
Because, and this should be obvious, if they find any evidence, they’ll destroy it
Wait till they’re out of power, and there’s the possibility of accountability, then look for the evidence.
If they look now, we’ll never find anything they find.
