We need to develop an emeritus role and a party practice of counseling starting at age 60 on how you are lifting up younger leaders in your district/state and thinking about transitioning out in the coming years.

I wish the polls were consistent though. Morning Consult for the same time period has him positive.

I think getting the concept of meta-analyses in science into the discourse would be valuable. Someone who could briefly distill what meta-analyses are and why we use them to understand patterns across studies, and then ask for how they inform his admin? Bc they are a defense agst cherry-picking.

Sometimes that's true, but many people are fair-minded. People who can't stand Newsom note he's meeting the moment media-wise right now. I share stuff from Dem reps all the time.Yet, I am also incredibly frustrated by the party's lack of ability to raise up and learn from its successful members.

What can I say? A media strategy is measured by its impact. The party doesn't amplify, support or learn much from the dems who are successful with media -instead they tend to curtail them due to internal politics/outdated ideas about 'message discipline.' You can't nag people into sharing content.

You said people don't share it-then it's not effective media strategy. I support Dems. Right now I think "The Dems" should be taking out ads that reiterate constitutional rights and how Trump/GOP are failing that, with each rep acting locally to meet the moment and generate media coverage for it.

Everyone should respond that having such signage does that.

Media from "The Dems" seems more party communication than media strategy. Tim Walz, AOC, and Pete Buttigieg are three different models that more could emulate-unique voices and media strategies. E.g., Walz highlights Minnesota AND explicitly connects these to Dem values in his own voice.

If you can't get national media, go to local and then share widely. Don't wait for party approval, party action, just go do it and represent.

That book came out when I was just starting high school and I randomly saw it in the public library and read it. I didn't have any context, didn't come from an intellectual family etc. It remains among my top most influential books.

Sometimes it's not a 'bad take,' it's a difference of opinion/disagreement.The only way I'm worried about an "echo chamber" in bsky is how having people roughly on the 'same side' can amplify relatively small differences. I catch it in my own thinking. We need each other even if we annoy each other.

Some of my kid's early words (pre 2 years old) were just the place names of where I traveled for work (and I only traveled maybe 4 times in the year between when she was one and two and not until she was one). I would go a new place and she would list the names of places I went before.

I would love to hear the ones talking about artists. Art historians increasingly show how much more European Modernists took from different African art traditions than they acknowledged, but these generally have not been informed by primary accounts of the exploitation from African perspectives.

"Engagement" environments reward these errors though, so there may be some selection bias at work in what we tend to see. Misinterpretations produce arguments and corrections which means more engagement/visibility. Hence new tendencies to write in a way to provoke them. Ugh.

It looks like the idea may be to use MDMA to make therapeutic social learning more possible--here they use the phrase "reopen a critical period" : www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...

As an aside, many narcissists have strong cognitive empathy (they can understand others' emotions and experiences) but lack affective empathy (they don't care about them). Developing stronger cognitive empathy might make them even better manipulators.

Instead of "this is a distraction," just say, "I know it's hard when so many important issues are swirling around, but also keep in mind [your important issue] " otherwise you will just descend into a distracting debate on what is really a distraction.
