Voters want $8 sandwiches back, expect $8 sandwiches to come back within 2 years, and will punish whoever is in charge when they don't come back in 2 years. It's just how it is.

One interesting development that sits on top of all this is the mainstreaming of fandom and fanfic. AO3 is the 56th most visited site website IN THE WORLD and is in the top 30-40 in the US depending on the month. Semrush estimates that AO3 gets more monthly visitors than eBay or ESPN or the NYT with users spending more than 20 minutes per visit.
Those are astonishing metrics, but has also opened a door that not everyone wants ajar which is partially what this story is about.
On October 29th, AO3 unexpectedly went down. It’s still offline, and may be that way for several more weeks as they investigate a security breach. The site’s downtime has created a lot of panic and stress, but it’s also winched open a rift between fan fiction writers and readers, all made worse by the state of modern publishing, AI, and the feeling that art and media are just grist for the scroll.
I reported it all out for @CNN and found out a lot about the current state of fan fiction in the process. Huge thanks to @momovolution2 for being my guide here, and for all the authors who talked to me about what’s going on and how they feel about it.

One major worry I have for a potential consequence of this election is that this is China's best opportunity to take Taiwan. The anti-war resentment amongst the electorate has positioned them to take advantage of American public opinion, because no one will support the US getting involved in this scenario. Whoever says they support a new war will get massacred at the ballot box despite Taiwan being very important to the West.

We need big public works projects again. Connect the entire country with high speed rail. Build out nuclear power. Build enough housing to blot out the sun

I haven't heard a single left socialist in the US propose anything other than consumer subsidies to reduce the cost of energy, food, or housing
1900s socialists LOVED massive public infrastructure projects, China still does! Completely absent from the US discourse

Very true. If FDR was president today he would build hyperscale datacenters on western BLM land. The Civilian Superintelligence Corps would be building transmission lines. The TVA would be a vast nuclear buildout.

we are spitting on FDR's memory by not expanding the UN into a world government

I read Mélenchon's manifesto. As always, there are some good social policy proposals, but they're overshadowed by total fiscal irresponsibility and the delusions surrounding pensioners, who aren't exactly the people voting for him. How can you seriously defend a retirement age of 60? Lmao.

Quick reminder since people are bringing up Charlie Kirk again:
ALT A dark infographic headed 'Elected Democrats who made light of the murder of Charlie Kirk' with a giant 0, above a two-column list of 20 Republican officials with headshots and short descriptions of their remarks about violence against Democrats.

Governor Hinojosa, do it. Show California that we’re a better, more efficient blue state than them.
Amtrak has broken its annual ridership record, completing more than 37 million trips in 2026.
It's the third year in a row the transit agency has set a new ridership high.
