And as a follow up- we just had our 2nd this past month. Mom and baby and toddler all doing fine. Will endeavor to have less time on this hellsite.

Many of you seem to exist online only to (over)react and get mad about *everything.* How are you not fucking exhausted?

After all the supposedly impossible things that happened in Tuesday's election, people are being way too hasty dismissing the GOP's chances in 2028.

DeSantis may not have whatever that mysterious je ne sais quoi rizz factor is that you supposedly need to be president these days but my God would I trust him to run literally any and every organization in existence from the local library to the military

Is there any comparative figure on the left who is so obviously competent, wildly successful, and beloved by every half-intelligent person in the party but who everyone says has no chance at winning the primary? Maybe Josh Shapiro?

“I care about a thing, which is why we lost. Coincidentally that thing happens to directly impact my paycheck and future employment/political prospects Also - It’s this person’s fault who doesn’t care about my thing and is my competition for future employment/political prospects”

You're free to disagree, but to me betting market odds not only aren't information, they're the opposite. They have negative epistemic value.

A lot of good people lost tonight. That's American politics. The needle will swing back and the time to rebuild is now.

Another handy reminder, the first time you see someone talking about exit polls this afternoon or early tonight.

People who say “this will be the end of polling” if it’s a bad night for pollsters are funny Win or lose, people will be inhaling polls 24/7 in about 3 months as 2028 kicks off. And prediction markets. Politics is one big casino now, will only get much worse.

“Country over party” is something we heard quite a bit about in 2024, but not today.

Zionism’s a helluva drug. More powerful (apparently) than rank partisanship. Regardless of what you think of El-Sayed (I’m not a huge fan), the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance — in just two days. This. Is. Stunning.

Ironically if El-Sayed loses it will now be much harder to blame his progressivism since people can just blame Haley Stevens instead. I'm not saying that's right, I'm not saying that's wrong, but that's how the intraparty D debate is likely to go.

The essential & extremely British genius of Patrick Stewart as an actor was his capacity to project a presence that was at once both commanding & courtly - a man who would lose his life, or take yours, before losing his manners.
