3. People keep underestimating the Pacers but they ended their regular season 15-4.
They match up well and if they maintain a significant 3pt% advantage they could easily take it.
OKC isn’t going to fall down though and I expect a big statement win from them in game 2 but this will be a series.

I was listening to SaEOtECAI (signed an executive order to encourage competition across industries) before they went mainstream.

He is not even a leader fighting climate change. The guy absolutely hates mass transit and would prefer to geo engineer mars than save our perfectly suited climate.
He liked EVs because they were cool. He likes batteries because they are cool. That is the extent of his climate activism.

Don’t let up until Tesla’s market cap is sensible - $250b range.
This is about destroying Elon’s inflated wealth and Tesla’s valuation is its tentpole.
He can keep making dumb decisions about that company if he must.

I can relate to this growing up as a Tacoma Catholic. The prominent families my old friends and I still refer to as the “Tacoma Royalty”. Certain marriages certainly seem like strategic mergers.

I’m also more interested in learning why rather than sticking it to them. Did they actively dismiss all the media outlets and people in their lives that could have told them? Did they only have bad alternative info sources? Maybe we should talk about reevaluating which info sources are trustworthy.

I think rent control is not good policy but becomes necessary policy due to other policy failures. We should respond to housing costs on the demand side. If we fail, that failure shouldn’t be felt solely by the most vulnerable.

I wish I had an adorable little Simpsons andecdote with my wife. She just wants me to cool it with the episodes I allow my kids to watch.

My ire is mostly directed toward entities with any sort of social media strategy. Dem politicians, orgs and brands that have social media managers. Simply build into your practice posting elsewhere first and post later on X on delay so at very least we rob X of its immediacy advantage for news.

Even prescription drug prices which should have had the most immediate positive and direct impact was in the promise of medicare having the ability to negotiate prices and helping people at some later date. Unclear how much of even those benefits were felt right away.

I heard a lot of very smart people declare after 2024 that “deliverism” had failed. And the reason I’m reluctant to declare that the IRA is an example
of this is that so much of what is in the IRA was not immediately FELT by the average citizen/voter immediately.

The disconnect that remains with the “cancelation” discourse is that edgy jokes are fine if your audience can trust your motivations and perspectives.
Shitty people were accustomed to getting what amounted to the benefit of the doubt with their comments. Now their motivations are rightfully suspect

Organic air probably needs oxygen produced through the photosynthesis of organic plants exclusively. Not a trivial process to undergo for capture. There is absolutely a market there.

If any of Kat Skattebo’s campaign ads end up being even the tiniest bit funny, I’m calling the FEC.

However, I’m quite confident that if it were a Dem interviewee pushing back appropriately, the interviewer would channel the ghost of edward r. murrow immediately and the news media would circle the wagons of noble journalistic history to put them back in their place.

This is my favorite example of them being married to a bad idea and being unwilling to see it all as sunk costs.
For a while they were signaling they were going to use lasers to vaporize each drop with AI. youtu.be/tegFW2YvsIQ?...

I’m not making excuses. What they did sure as hell didn’t work. And I’m not about to claim they couldn’t have tried anything else. But your critique on this narrow subject is wrong. A lack of imagination in these areas is not their primary problem. We need to get a lot better at working the refs.

They didn’t run on it because the media snapped into action to “debunk” it as soon as they tried to make it an issue. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/u...

The news media didn’t pick up on any of the dems preferred narratives, therefore any attempts to push them didn’t happen for all intents and purposes.

I hear the high school kids in my neighborhood listening to 90’s music all the time. there was a car full of girls at their lunch jammin’ ‘no scrubs’ the other day hard.

I hate this impulse to go all “keep our name out of your mouth” by critics of Kat that happen to constituents of IL-09.
We get to have opinions and discuss them. And it absolutely affects people outside the district. And is interesting as an example of broader trends.

I look upon people that glom on to these baseless conspiracies with similar disdain I have for people that believe in astrology.
It seems harmless enough but suggests deep problems with your brain that we maybe shouldn’t be so tolerant of.

I still can’t believe Kat Skattebo slide so far down the draft.
