so i did a thing

josh boerman@bosh· 28d

well well well

josh boerman@bosh· Jul 12

that's certainly one way of putting it

Some in the broader political text messaging industry say generative AI's ability to answer voter's questions and gather data about their concerns is going to be revolutionary for campaigns; others say political text messages are a limited — and annoying — tool and using AI won't improve it. While it's difficult to ascertain how many campaigns are using generative AI to text voters this election cycle, experts say Republicans have been adapting to AI faster than Democrats.

i cannot imagine the courage it must have taken for jenny racicot to come forward to come forward and tell her story. this man is both toxic and fucking terrifying

He also framed his plight as one shared with his base of supporters.

"We live in a political system that is not built for normal people. It is built structurally so that movements like ours cannot flourish, that if they begin to succeed they can be crushed," he said. "What we have accomplished here you made possible ... and I have all the faith in the world that we could win if we continue to harness that. But the brutal political reality is that they're going to take everything away from us."

real scumbag stuff here from platner’s campaign manager. your “movement” was based on a fundamental falsehood—the only debt here is platner owing it to voters to get the fuck out of the way

"We firmly believe that the supporters and volunteers who built this movement
deserve to have a real role in any nomination process," Chin wrote. "If the Maine Democratic Party hopes to harness our movement, and avoid disillusioning the hundreds of thousands of supporters who came into the fray because of our movement's policies, it must consult the feedback and proposals of the people who built and sustained this."

obviously this is a piece that is tailor-made to be engagement bait but this sentence in particular is fascinating to me because his lack of examples makes me think that he might not even know what he’s talking about here. i certainly don’t

But other mainstream Democratic concerns seem to be moral. Something in the liberal heart recoils in the face of righteous ruthlessness. Everyone remembers the careers that were destroyed and the voices that were silenced by hardcore progressives in the peak woke era. When the left is opposing Donald Trump, viciously vehement rhetoric it uses can be thrilling. But there is also something terrifying about the fact that these voters also use this rhetoric against anybody even slightly to their right.

we’ve still got another two months until the end of peak travel season and if the us military actually goes for it tonight it basically guarantees gas prices will be above $4 around labor day

josh boerman@bosh· Jul 8

the whole reason that the forces of capital backed this guy was that he guaranteed them limited interference in their affairs. but this shit fundamentally fucks with everyone’s money flow. how long until his backers on the right start pulling their support?

U.S. President Donald Trump said that America's ceasefire with Iran was over, telling the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey: "I don't want to deal with them anymore."
Later, Trump said the U.S. will "very probably" attack Iran "hard again tonight."

weapons grade smarm here and i think deeply telling about this guy’s character that he decides to immediately make this whole thing about him. i’ve enjoyed a fair bit of ken’s writing in the past but this is just gross

As for me, my apology is as follows:

[This space left intentionally blank]

I stand by my previous defense of Platner.
Drunk tattoos and sexting-out-of-wedlock struck me as the most Marine shit ever. I literally know Marines who've done both but later grew up and became decent guys. (Hi if you're reading this!) I still believe in my bones that people like that deserve to have a shot at public office and that our country would be better for it. But the Marines I'm describing were never accused of more serious things like sexual assault.

lmao (please do not go do epic dunks on this guy)

american psycho, but make it woke

I go down the street to Rhodora for my friend Tembe’s intimate Pride kickoff event. This is a calmer, queer-POC-focused soirée. The point seemed to be: We’re lesbians who are hot and mostly Black and in our 30s now, so before we descend into hell, let’s stretch, have drinks, giggle, gossip, play mancala, and look at each other. There is one exceptionally attractive lesbian there who’s making me want to end my no-dating rule. I drink a mezcal negroni and snack on olives I stole off someone else’s plate.

The big dinner is at Moss, a new membership club in midtown. I’m not a member; I just like free food. I’m in a complicated shoe, so I call a car there. The Caesar salad slaps. There’s a big-ass shrimp cocktail and oysters, but the shrimp is alarmingly large in a way that felt very inviting at first and then incredibly challenging. Then roast chicken breast and a vanilla dot cake. I’m not a big cake person, and I don’t like things that feel like sprinkles, but my friend Sarah Burke really loves it, and I’m an ally to her experience. I’m not a yuck-your-yum kind of girl — I’ll never yuck a yum; I’ll only judge it from afar.

From there, I go to Boom Boom Room, where JoJo — the O.G., not Siwa — performs two of her hit songs with a purse on. People laugh at the accessory glued to her underarm, but I understand; I don’t trust drunk gay guys either! I see y’all spilling your tequila sodas and doing bumps of ketamine; you’re not touching my shit. She does her numbers on the bar and immediately walks off. I order an Uber in the middle of “Get Out” so it’s waiting for me when she’s done. I drink a mezcal with ginger beer.

truly, is there any other artist out there where the fandom’s perception of both the artist and the art is as radically uncoupled from reality as taylor swift? they repeatedly project their own feelings and ambitions onto her and come away stunned when it turns out she’s who she always said she was

Part of this subversive effort was a lyrical resistance to a domestic life of marriage and children, often juxtaposed with the scope of her career ambitions, her unfeminine longing for fame, money and creative achievement. As she sang to her 15-year-old self on her second album, "Fearless," "In your life, you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team."
But I think there's something deeper that's been bugging me about a Swift-Kelce wedding. It's not just that she is finally settling down with the boy on the football team, but that such a highflying spectacle of "having it all" appears to be the culmination of the singer's three-year career victory lap, ever since she pulled off the record-breaking Eras Tour, which helped make her a billionaire.

josh boerman@bosh· Jul 4

i will never, ever understand swifties

Maybe Ms. Swift was just doing the thing where you say you're against marriage because you don't want to marry the person you're with.
(Now that's relatable!) It's not like I'm going to stage a "Speak Now" stunt, lying in wait in a corner of the arena for the officiant to ask if anyone objects. But I can't help but see her matrimonial about-face in the context of the sexual politics of this decade, as tradwives and men's rights activists have attempted to undo second-wave feminism altogether, encouraging young men to see themselves as domineering domestic leaders and young women to aspire only to marriage and motherhood.
Perhaps my depression is simply because she caved to gendered expectations after bucking them for so long.

mamdani has announced that the city will be removing approximately 30,000 street parking spaces in favor of permanent trash bin storage. the gothamist comments are full of people who genuinely believe that leaving dozens or hundreds of garbage bags out on the sidewalk is a superior solution

Think Summer stinks with garbage outside in the morning 3 days a week? Wait until we have dirty garbage bins on the street 24 hours a day! Even if the garbage gets emptied, no one is going to clean these things frequently enough.

You’re totally correct and no one’s thinking clearly about this. The bins will be sitting there permanently and will get filthy in no time. The bags by law had to be gone within hours. People really want to see big trash bins all the time?
It’s ludicrous. The bag method makes much more sense.
