That was always the Rolling Stone business model — talk about the bands, and throw in a side of serious political news.

They covered Project 2025 before the election, including the ties Trump’s circle has to it.

In practice, those rules made it easier to have centrist primary challenges to Democrats in congress, rather than left-wing ones.

The big thing we need to change is the media environment. Much of the US is a news desert, so people are depending on things like YouTube shorts and Xitter for their news.

A whole bunch of Sanders supporters got themselves elected to the DNC and changed the rules to make contested primaries easier. The Democratic party isn’t some static thing that we have no control over.

It’s a lot easier to reshape a political party than to dump them and start afresh.

Some states mail a sticker with the ballot.

He’d have months named after himself if he could.

Newspapers in general have been having a tough time, but the NYT is fantastically profitable. They’re basically a games, review, and recipe company with a side of news.

A union may well get their compensation up in line with industry norms

They’re asking that people stay off NYT games and cooking-related pages:

NYT Games and Cooking are BEHIND THE PICKET LINE. Please don’t play or engage with Games or Cooking content while the strike lasts!

News coverage — including election coverage — is NOT behind the picket line. It’s okay to read and share that, though the site and app may very well have problems.

There are probably more, but by the time you’re at 40, it’s enough to make the point that it’s a pretty steady drumbeat.

I agree that there’s very little convincing to do at this stage — right now it’s about turnout. Having these in one place like this can emphasize the importance of voting to stop Trump and help make sure people vote.

Not the first article in this vein, but it needs to be said a lot right now.

It usually takes eating an infected animal. They might have shared roadkill, but I don’t think that Howard Lutnick ate part of RFK Jr.

It doesn’t matter if it’s pandering or they know it’s a lie if they then turn the lie into policy. The rest of us take the risk of death from it just the same

Stockholm syndrome?

You can definitely run the machine out of the paper and ink it uses. May take postal workers a bit to refill it, especially when there is a big line of people clamoring for the the prettier pre-printed stamps.

I’m aware of the LSD and Ketamine, weed wouldn’t surprise me too.

Security clearances are nominally the domain of the FBI, rather than the CIA. They tend to see themselves as a right-wing organization though.

The problem is that informed opinion thinks that Trump has something around a 50% chance of winning there. That’s a kind of risk that regular people can’t put serious money into.
