It drives me nuts that knowledge workers in think tanks and news orgs — the first people who will be flat on their ass when AI becomes reliable — insist on using AI-generated images for reports, stories, cover photos, etc. Why do this??

Not sure anything I’ve done professionally, as much as I wish it were, has been as important as the Cat Political Compass I just created

the modern Left decided it loved the 1970s era public interest law movement (CEQA, NEPA, etc) make than it did the 1940s New Deal and so we ended up allocating hundreds of billions to fill out book reports and pay lawyers instead of building things 🙃

I just saw The English Beat tonight and it made me realize that in 30 years, Taylor Swift may also play the Chicago City Winery! Intimate venue, reasonably priced tickets, table service. I can wait until then.

This narrative that Gen Z “is gonna save us” has to stop. Turns out, young voters are voters who need to be convinced too! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I would much prefer an electoral strategy that aggressively leaned into left wing bonafides and didn’t bother with stuff like this but the Biden administration has been one long exercise in teaching the Democratic Party it won’t be rewarded so this is what we get. Buy the ticket take the ride.

Getting mad about who the 0.001% choose to support is a waste of time. If it mattered, we would have elected Hillary in 2016

Not watching tonight's press conference for the same reason I skipped the debate -- no interest in seeing a great guy willingly and needlessly feed himself to a pack of wolves

Dystopian. When Republicans went on Fox and Friends to whisper in Trump’s ear, we rightfully mocked them. This is a shame. As a party, we should be ashamed. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/10/u...

I think it’s pretty safe to say that the only reason the far right lost in France today was because a Frenchman, Anthony Turgis, won today’s stage of the Tour de France
