MC Escher–ass sewing machine.

A closeup of the sewing machine from the article's illustration. Likely AI generated, the sewing machine is an impossible figure, with the presser foot and cloth facing the front of the table while the machine is contorted sideways.

Three weeks into her presidential run was the first time the Biden campaign's pollsters — now hers — held a deep-dive call with Kamala Harris' inner circle to discuss what she's been saying on the stump.
Over the line came a lot of praise, but also some suggested tweaks. First, said veteran Democratic numbers man Geoff Garin, summarizing their analysis, stop saying, "We're not going back." It wasn't focused enough on the future, he argued. Second, lay off all the "weird" talk — too negative.

"But your ad says, 'Vote Blue No Matter Who!'" "Oh they got this all screwed up."

A yard sign reading "Vote Blue No Matter Who." It has been hastily revised with a red marker to read "Vote Blue? No! Matters Who."

Like, macroeconomic sentiment is a SENTIMENT. You think that's not shaping how people vote???

It is the campaign's job to convince people that their candidate is better than the other candidate in dealing with the current and future issues driving sentiment

@earnestlib.bsky.social • 37m
Yes, obviously

My sentiment that you're a dum dum is a SENTIMENT. You think that's not shaping how we interpret your arguments??

Geoff, you are calling the President of the United States of America a liar now, but when it really mattered, you said we couldn't even call the opposition "weird." Tell us, honest question: why are you worth your salary? (And what did CNN get wrong in this story you've denied—you never explained!)

Rahmbo (ranked #78) had this to say about Tim Walz (ranked #10):

McCollum said she helped recruit Walz to run in the district back in 2006 after seeing how aptly he communicated with different groups across southern Minnesota.

"Being a football coach and a teacher, he knew a lot of people in * town, and he went out and talked to farmers and just talked to people and really listened — that's how he took that district," she said.
McCollum recalled being met with exasperation by Rahm Emanuel, who as chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee at that time, was in charge of overseeing the party's efforts to take back control of the House.

"I came back to Rahm, and I said, 'I met this fabulous guy. He's in a red district, and I think he's going to win," McCollum recalled. "And Rahm looked at me like I was crazy. He said, 'No, he has no money, no nothing."

“waking up,” a 4-panel cartoon by @alexkrokus. 1: A blue figure and red figure are tied up. Blue awakes in a panic, saying “zzz-what?! where am i?” Red is smiling. 2: Red responds, “you’re in the trolley problem!” They are both, in fact, tied up on the losing track of that famous thought experiment. Several bags of cash are on the other track, and a wealthy gentleman in a top hat and monocle stands at the lever. 3: Blue says, “i thought i would be at the lever…” 4: A smiling Red says to the sweating, panicking Blue, “no, that’s someone else.”

And don't try to tell me that conveying "you know which..." isn't the precise semantic role intended for the definite article preceding "groups." Which groups? You know, *the* groups.

Twitter user Andrew Lawrence (@ndrew_lawrence):
Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views
Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?
Con: LOL no...no not those views
Me: So....deregulation?
Con: Haha no not those views either
Me: Which views, exactly?
Con: Oh, you know the ones

This is some downright perverse moral reasoning. "We can't be culpable of anything, or we'd have the money to show for it." 😞

A younger faculty member similarly said she does not believe Botstein participated in Epstein's sex trafficking operation. One need only look at Bard's financial condition relative to other larger universities to see that the college did not benefit particularly from Epstein or his wealthy associates, she said.
"We're too poor to have profited. The doorways and the buildings are rusting, no one would let that happen on a college campus that was well-heeled, " she said. "Look elsewhere if you want to see the complicit presidents.

I though we weren’t supposed to listen to “groups”?

Matt Yglesias speaking to WelcomeFest 25, June 2025. He stands at a lectern in front of a slide that reads, “Bad groups create bad incentives for Democrats.” The slide features the inset of a news headline, “More Democratic lawmakers visit El Salvador to see Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported by Trump administration.”

After the bubble bursts, I will erupt in rabid anger if anyone says there was no way to predict these people were positively brimming with horseshit. From last August.:

"Sam Altman: I do guess that a lot of the world gets covered in data centers over time.

Theo Von: Do you really?

Altman: But I don’t know, because maybe we put them in space. Like, maybe we build a big Dyson sphere around the solar system and say, “Hey, it actually makes no sense to put these on Earth.” Von: Yeah.

Actually, I see you've been very involved in some crucial campaigns! Not knocking your hobbies, but... do you think you did all the good you could this week? Did you make the most of your time, your voice, your talents, your energy? Or are you on the sidelines of life griping about the players?
