Think we need an update to John Gardner:
“The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.”

Other things I like:
- The “opposite of doom” is not just hope, but curiosity.
- “Media is something you get booked on. Attention is something you attract.”
- Caution not to over-rely on metrics and polling - there’s value in improvisational attention gathering.

I don’t resent it so much as I find myself unable to do it. I cannot keep track.

@older.bsky.social’s Mimicking of Known Successes or @marthawells.com’s All Systems Red (Murderbot Diaries). Both are shorter books that kick off series, but totally stand alone as well.

Worth also disaggregating “the Democratic Party” - it’s not unitary organization. There are places where they’ve rebuilt the grassroots organizing muscle (Wisconsin) and places where leadership maintains its power by actively opposing grassroots engagement (Brooklyn).

It’ll be a nice side outcome of the presidential race if Trump loses AND Musk wastes a big chunk of cash on it.

Is this a valid way to test this? I’d want to see this methodology applied to a completely non-controversial topic (eg that it shows no gap in public versus private preference on, say your favorite foods) before I’d trust it on political issues.

we’ve reached the stage where one assumes an Adams aide had their devices seized, unless otherwise specified

“last show you watched” memes are different when you have two small kids. On a different day this would’ve been Elmo.

Political scientists last week: don’t read too much into the polls the election is three months away, anything could happen!

I don’t think anyone disputes that being on video is worse, all else being equal - the questions is how much worse and what else we’re trading.
I’d like to see this repeated for a treatment that includes commuting an hour each way.
