Wow, it's weird how the media narrative of a far right populist wave keeps crashing against reality in every country that actually requires them to win a majority of votes to take power

The 2nd leading pollster projects a similar result—if anything a higher range for the Left coalition. This wld be a much stronger result than expected for the Macron bloc. If confirmed, key takeaway: Left & Macronist voters transferred onto each other much more than expected. Clear anti-RN front.

Lol

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

“Feminist movement against the pill” is inherently anti-feminist.

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

Look, I'm not crazy about Joe Biden either, but we've got Kamala as a backstop, and I can't imagine that throwing our own race into last-minute chaos is going to help with the casual voters we need to get to the voting booth. But you do you Dem Party.

"In her 4 yrs @ StonyBrook, McInnis’s admin repudiated a professor who had criticized the local police. And she created an expanded safety dept" — an office of "enterprise risk management" — "complete with intelligence capabilities," "sweeping authority" + a Sliwa/Giuliani-backed former-NYPD leader

The Yale Daily News picks up a story about the school’s new president, Maurie McInnis, being awful, including and especially wrt Palestine protests. She will be no better at Yale than she was at Stony Brook—this is her style. Spread the word. yaledailynews.com/blog/2024/06...

Pro-Palestine students, faculty criticize McInnis’ appointment as president - Yale Daily Newsyaledailynews.com In the wake of mass pro-Palestine protests on campus, students and faculty in the divestment movement expressed concerns about free speech and policing ahead of McInnis’ presidency.

Yale’s New President Pushed Policing as Head of Stony Brook Universitywww.nytimes.com In her four years at the state university, Maurie McInnis drew criticism from faculty members who said some of her decisions violated academic freedom.

This is me, except I’m fixing up a 150-year-old house in Pennsylvania and I’m writing an academic book and I’m failing at both.

All I want is a 100 year-old house in update New York and to spend the rest of my life fixing it up and writing mystery novels there.

I know Facebook is bad, but I just counted up to SEVEN ads/pages I don’t follow before I got to a post from a friend.

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless
