Worth thinking about how long Tolkien goes on in Return of the King about despair being a weapon, and presenting defeat as a forgone conclusion being a deliberate and effective tactic

J.D. Vance's answer to what he would have done had he been VP on January 6, 2021. (Relevant, of course, to what he'd do if he were to be VP in January 2029.) abcnews.go.com/Politics/wee...

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Former DCist reporters just announced that they are launching a worker-run local news site for DC called the 51st, operating on reader donations:

A serious loss for local DC news. What's fucked up is that this is the SECOND time DCist has been shuttered, after Gothamist, the group of city-based sites which included it, was bought up & shut down by a billionaire mad that they reported on him. They stay brazenly dismantling journalism.

WAMU lays off 15 staffers, shuts down DCist to focus on audiowww.axios.com The station plans to add new audio products.

Former DCist staff launch the 51st, new local news site for Washingtonwww.washingtonpost.com The 51st is a worker-run newsroom that will attempt to fill a niche its founders say opened when WAMU closed DCist.

2024 has been an unbroken string of events followed by people rushing to declare the presidential race OVER, ALL OVER, followed by nothing fundamentally changing because this election is and will continue to be, a binary choice between "More Trump" and "The alternative to More Trump"

"Following the failed assassination attempt on Saturday, former President Donald Trump did not see a polling boost, in the first presidential survey taken since the event....In fact, Trump's lead has narrowed slightly since an earlier poll taken July 12-14" lol. lmao www.rawstory.com/trump-pollin...

The Biden presidency has done good things in ways that are not splashy or thrilling but are, in fact, life-changing

More than 10 million calls, texts and chat messages have been answered by counselors working for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s three-digit hotline, 988, in the two years since it debuted, federal officials said.

Turned this thread into a post. Joe Biden isn't stepping down. He's the candidate. The poll numbers aren't catastrophic, but they ain't great. You run a campaign to remind people of what's at stake and change the poll numbers. That's what campaigns are for. davekarpf.substack.com/p/what-the-c...

Okay fuck it I’m gonna say some shit. Biden isn’t leaving the race. I’d rather he did. I think Kamala is more likely to win. But he ain’t leaving because the-polls-look-bad. He’s obviously going to insist that he can campaign his way out of bad polling. AND HE MIGHT BE RIGHT. (He better be!)

What The Campaign Is Fordavekarpf.substack.com Biden is the candidate. The stakes are existential. The whole point of a campaign is that poll numbers in July are not immutable destiny.

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

Are you a fan of all of those guys who are directly responsible for making the internet an unusable dogshit hellhole? Well boy do I have a VP for you.

While we're talking about Democrats who should retire, it's those who have no stomach for this fight, no principles to stand up for and are interested in hiding under the bed for the next four years. @aoc.bsky.social is spot-on.

This is what's really killing me abiut the Dem doomer discourse. Polling is obviously broken and no one should pay much attention to it, BUT.... the polls also aren't that bad? Biden's a point or two behind. That's nothing.

No one cares who the Dem is

I'm pretty indifferent to whether he should've been replaced or not, but it needed to happen swiftly and succinctly, and they had no actual way to force it. So to see these dudes sad-sacking it bc their slow-motion self-destructive tendencies aren't gonna play out is pretty funny.

A lot of progressive accounts are spreading this claim and it is not true. I have verified the FEC records myself. They match the alleged gunman's street address.
