I love when a dating app's tagline is "the app that's designed to be deleted" cause you really do delete it within a week when you realize nobody that's been on there for more than a week is ensouled

Although I met my partner in person but my hot take is if you are looking for a relationship & are serious about finding someone, ignoring the place where the majority of people are finding people is kicking yourself in the foot

The breakneck race to destroy *any* connection to a shared or objective reality is one of the most repulsive things going on right now in tech You WILL be alienated from every other human on earth. You WILL be embalmed in your own delusions, and youโ€™ll pay us $20/month for it

Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language. The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words. The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

Last Tuesday, progressive state senator Troy Jackson defeated longtime GOP Senator Susan Collins by 6%. He won by making huge inroads in the growing Portland metro and coastal areas compared to Gideon in 2020. Collins did 0.7% better than Trump - a solid performance given the environment, but she couldn't overcome the blue tsunami.

Feel like Darren Soto should run for Senate in 2028. Overperformed everyone else to win his gerrymandered district, and is unlikely to hold it in 2028. May as well run for a 6 year term.

It's not really clear this midterm was just turnout. Our polling among *registered voters* showed an abnormally high number of Trump voters also flipping blue. Like an inverse of 2024, a non-trivial amount of the Republicans who sat out would have voted Dem if they voted.

2030 will be a tough hold for every statewide office a Democrat won Tuesday. But after she took down Abbott with no money, I promise you no one on the R side is going to be lining up to face Hinojosa. They'll all want to primary Cruz. Cause they're little bitches.
Lyndon Baines Johnson (@lyndonbajohnson) profile pictureLyndon Baines Johnson@lyndonbajohnsonNov 7
I'll tell you this now. He's a coward. He'll primary Cruz. He won't tangle with Hinojosa running with actual money. And Republicans lost most of what took them 40 years to build in one night. They can win it back. But not with some twink with a floppy haircut and a sieg heil.

I think there's a strong argument that 2028 will be similar to 2020 in that the 2026 Wave Babies will lose re-election. But. If Trump continues to follow a Bush 2 trajectory in approval, people've gotta embrace the possibility that 2028 is slightly worse for Rs than 2026, just like '08 was worse than '06. What would 1976 have looked like if Nixon hadn't resigned? Probably 1932. If Trump doesn't return to >38% approval and isn't removed from office so Vance can take the helm, then, to quote Total Recall...open your mind.

2026 is not only the largest Democratic wave in state legislatures since the 1974 Watergate Wave. 2026 is probably the 7th-largest Democratic net gain in state legislatures over the last 100 years. It's likely going to beat Landslide Lyndon's 1964 win.

I'll also note that a POTUS run can really harm crossover appeal *within your own state.* This is relevant if you lose the nomination. Klobuchar, for example. She remained popular, but she never again got the crushing margins she enjoyed before her 2020 run.

No freshman Senator should run for President. "But Obama did it!" none of these guys are Obama and the best candidates (Talarico) cannot leave their seats because they're too critical and you can't risk losing the incumbent advantage for 2032.

Daughter of right-wing Paraguay president Santiago Peรฑa, who just resigned over crashing the economy and stealing half the country's savings, posted this story of herself with a shirt saying "Tax the Poor." She goes to Columbia U btw, where tuition is 20x the average salary.
