I write and podcast about the NFL. I've never been owned online (see bio). I did the "enemy speak kindly and holds a knife" tweet. I write about bad faith politics here: https://bad-faith-times.ghost.io/

We can do this. I truly believe we can.

Look how fun shutting down fascists is. I want this for us, too

Down with doomerism! bad-faith-times.ghost.io/withholdyour...

They Want Your Despair. Withhold It.bad-faith-times.ghost.io Doomerism is what the fascists want. It is their lifeblood.

hadn’t considered that

Aside from an antiquated methodology conducting polls, they focus far too much on nationally generalized samples rather than smaller regional samples. I'm also insistent that the massive area polling doesn't account for is COVID death disparity from 2020-now. Lotta GOP boomers are polling 6ft under

I think this is a good reminder that the far right’s agenda and candidates are almost always insanely unpopular

Shock follows shock! Exit poll puts Le Pen’s right wing National Rally in THIRD …behind the left wing NFP and Macron’s Ensemble.

far right parties are often so unpopular that polling doesn’t seem to capture the true public sentiment. reminds me of the “red wave” nonsense in the 2022 midterms.

There’s also the 2018 midterms. The biggest wave election in midterm history and we went into the night thinking Dems might squeak out a majority.

It doesn’t seem to really capture an increasingly fractured and desperate electorate

bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.

In Greece they make the bottle caps so they don’t come off, violating my right as an American to immediately lose the cap and pollute the beach. I will be taking this issue all the way to the EU.

Sulzberger and the New York Times political desk are engaged in an interesting experiment, to wit: whether it’s possible for a newspaper to direct the outcome of a campaign and election through sheer, relentless posting

It’s good to have one good newspaper in the United States

I love Animals. It was an important album for me in my 20s. I can rank it higher than Wish or Dark Side though.

I’ve never really been able to listen to Floyd songs on their own. They’re best in the context of the album. Often they’re cut off on the radio, which drives me insane.

Depending on the day and which one I am currently playing, their greatest album is either Meddle, Animals, or this one. With Pink Floyd, rarely do you seek out a song to listen to. You grab an album and start at the beginning.

Animals is among the most interesting political albums of the 70s. Finally Floyd wasn’t too cool for politics. Same with Bowie and Scary Monsters (and Lodger).

Bowie really was too cool/above politics for a long time. Lodger is such a refreshing left political coming of age for him after his dalliance with fascism.

kinda just realized this might be the greatest synth album of all time

also maybe the greatest album

you gotta respect it. lots of people throughout history have given maximum effort before falling into generations of authoritarian rule.
