Essentially a dead heat all over:

The only swing state where Harris is squeaking by above the probable margin of error is Michigan.

I’ve been trying to grasp the mind of a typical swing state voter post-debate. I personally thought the whole thing was a shitshow (who was weeping over hosting the Taliban at Camp David for?), but the overwhelming consensus in lib circles was that Harris trounced Trump hard and is going to crush him in November.

As for Trump himself, he seems even less coherent than he was in 2020 and JD Vance is a legitimate nonentity, so I have no idea what’s there to excite anyone outside the die hard Trump faithful, but I also have zero sense of where republican enthusiasm is sitting. The more exposure I get from the immigrants-eating-pets discourse, which is all people seem to have taken away from the debate, the more I’m convinced that the country has just completely lost even the pretense of seriousness.

“But when you reach that level,” nominee of one of the two major parties, “you have to be the face of capitalism, militarism, and neo-colonialism.” Harris, Davis warned, “has told us she will be that face, that she will build the most lethal military apparatus ever.”

And then next time we have to for the next face of capitalism, militarism, and neo-colonialism so that the most lethal military apparatus ever doesn’t get placed in the hands of the next fascist!

When do you suppose was the last time Musk read a poem (that was not generated by an LLM)?

It’s an app like Grindr but also for straight people

Predicting right now that the proportion of users that are men will be the same for both apps

Suppressing the urge to strip naked and run through the halls shouting “Everything we do is fake!” is getting harder with every passing day and it’s mainly the fault of this web site.

Assuming this isn’t just evidence that the methodology sucks or the sample is crap because they picked a single right-wing crank site to serve as the functional outgroup, it seems to be pointing to a distinct lack of liveliness. The debates are all over lurid speculation about the diets and religious practices of immigrant communities.

Yes, first you will be upside down and this will be very distressing, but then a carefree fellow will come along, get you right side up, and then leave you with a cookie.
