That makes sense but I'm out of the loop – why broccoli?

This it what makes me think them being teens is part of how they got the job. You see the same sort of lack of humbleness in lots of junior devs, not yet having fully internalized what can really go wrong when you prematurely merge a PR, or have a culture of lax code reviews.

I'm no psychologist, but the wishful thinking of "that won't affect me and my family as long as I play my cards right" can be powerful. Combine that with the baffling success fox news and the like have had in deluding the public, and you can delude yourself to believe some very irrational things.

Was Deepwater Horizon an environmental catastrophe, or the shake-up the Gulf ecosystem had needed for years?

are a vocal anti-LGBTQ republican and have a same-sex sidekick, you're probably extra scared of that. And some of it probably the knowledge that this is going to get bad and many, but if you stay quiet maybe you'll get to be on the side that benefits. So naivety and cowardice and greed?

Part of it is probably cult mentality. Some of it must be fear too. They've seen colleagues receive death threats after crossing trump, and they don't want to put their families thru that. Infidelity is supposedly common in DC, and it's also not uncommon that someone has a file on you. And if you /

Exactly. Is today really so different from last week or the week before? What made you wake up?

Please @schiff.senate.gov can you explain to Californians and the nation why you disagree with this? Why is Murphy wrong here, and why are you doing the exact opposite? Why are you enabling the coup? You are not representing your constituents here, you are failing them.

Thank you for being there @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and for drawing media attention where it's needed. Don't stop this. And tell your colleagues in the senate they could be out there too, instead of voting to confirm numinees and embarassing themselves on social media.

I bet he does, feels righteous even. And he hopes this will help keep small talk pleasant when he runs into Susan Collins in the cafeteria. F*cking turncoat, Schiff.

I've tried calling his office to express my utter disgust. It's extra heartbreaking that we could have had Barbara Lee, the lone congresswoman who spoke out against the Iraq invasion. What does Schiff think he's doing? Who is this vote for?

I don't buy the red state excuse. They won't spare you from lie-filled attack ads just because you voted yes on some nominees. And centrists and conservatives won't vote for you based on your voting record for cabinet confirmations.

Pathetic @schiff.senate.gov. You're a spineless embarrassment to California. I'll donate the legal maximum to, and canvass for, whoever mounts a primary challenge to you. We could have had Barbara Lee, instead of your sorry excuse of a coup enabler. May history judge you harshly.

Can I suggest that the energy of the Harris/Walz campaign is exactly what we don't need? So many unforced errors, so tonedeaf, so unwilling to listen to all the people telling them they weren't going to get there the way they were going. So dismissive of the base they needed.

Democrats as a group sure don't seem like they are. You're all elected to lead, not to mostly fall in line with trump, or to go hide when things get rough.
comment in response to

This makes no sense to most people. Is voting to confirm nominees really something that matters for your electoral prospects 2/4/6 years down the road? Not buying it. It makes all the talk of trump being dangerous seem very hollow, and makes democrats as a group seem spineless and beaten.

Tweeting through the coup is exhausting! Need that extended break and get some power lunches with our good GOP senator friends.

You are a horrendous disappointment. As a long time CA resident (SF) it's hard to feel like you have the interest of CA and the nation at heart when you decide to vote to confirm Duffy. Have you no sense of decency? No urgency? Why are you going along with the coup? Resign and let Newsom appoint Lee

They'll find a way to blame Pelosi and Biden and DEI and something woke. (And critical race theory, although that's very 2022.) If they haven't learned yet I see no reason to believe they ever will.

Right. This would probably have been ok messaging in 2013 had Romney won. That's not what this is.

They're not just sensing it, they were 100% well prepared for it. It's not just tariffs – as we're shutting down USAID programs and similar we are leaving a gap open for China to influence our allies and there's little chance they'll pass on the opportunity.

This too, just 2+ years ago. There's just no excuse for being, or pretending to be, so incredibly naïve. This looks like trying to cozy up to the worst people, who are attempting a slow coup, and it's increasingly implausible it was in good faith on the part of The Times.

Are you over the age of 65? Does saying democrats are "aroused" at the trump admin sound like solid messaging to you? If no to either, they probably won't be interested.

It's so hard to keep my subscription going. I know you're all doing some important work, but the last week or so has demonatrated the NYT probably writes 10x more "normalizing fascism" stories than actual journalism. It's really sad, I've subscribed for 15 years, and I don't think I can any longer.

So next, in an effort to ensure no "diverse foods", they'll ensure no Mexican food on campus? And no labeling of foods that have nuts – can't be inclusive to those with allergies?

Any idea why you are among a small handful of dems in congress who get this? It's kind of embarrassing that those formally in leadership aren't leading, and it's only you and AOC and a few others who seem to be able to meet the moment.

I have a lot of respect for Ben Wikler and what he has accomplished, but after hearing what Faiz Shakir has to say it seems obvious to me that he's a lot better suited for the role in this current political climate.

Huggingface's leaderboard is widely used, and well documented. It was a big-ish deal when DeepSeek got in the top handful there, as it is the first open model to achieve that. But all benchmarks have their shortcomings.

This is one of the most inane things people have started saying lately. Maybe it makes you sound smart to people less intelligent than you, but most people recognize this for the vacuous drivel it is.
