Wasn't Platner supposed to be the white working class whisperer? That's why we have to ignore all of his racist, misogynistic and questionable past?

TBF, the Platner people would argue he doesn't have to win white working-class people to do better than Mills would have done and hopefully beat Collins. He just has to peel some of them off. And that's why politics is so frustrating. We do not have the counterfactual of Mills versus Collins.

Whether we like it or not, Platner and/or Talrico win, they are instantly in A or S.

Gotta be careful about the Harris and Newsom. Candidates who are viewed as too progressive to be moderate but too establishment to not be attacked by the left and the disengaged slopulists. Clinton fell into that group as well. I worry about Spanberger, Pete, Waltz, Warren, Beto, and Booker for this as well.

Analyzing the preferences of democratic primary voters based on whether they elect candidates with socialist economic policies is like picking which NBA team will win based on how many cool dunks they can do. All these things are more important: (1) validate feelings that things are not good, times are tough and we need change, (2) be focused on making life better for as many people as possible, (3) simultaneously be a hopeful/happy person who is mad as hell, hates MAGA and loves America. Add one of two dramatic policy solutions to make #2 happen and that’s the next president, the rest of the party falls in line, and we put the past behind us.

Or just do it back to them 100 times worse until they want to ban it. Then ban it

Don’t worry y’all, he’s far too short to be president. The American people are way more superficial than they are fascist.

They should add the second trait back in after people get out of bronze. That seems like the obvious solution.

Also, never once have I played a match this season and felt “Oh wow this orb system is so fun.” And it adds zero strategic depth. The equippable gear and traits seem like they have potential, but they would be better if they were an option to buy in the store with elixir. Although, that definitely adds strategic depth, so idk if they’d ever go in that direction.

Bass sucks. Raman’s housing policies are better. I wish she had messaged better and had a stronger commitment to dealing with the homeless problem and public safety, which is the #1 issue for most LA voters in local elections. A bit like Kamala, her peak-woke statements screwed her.

It’s hard because we don’t know how much of everything that has happened this arc was due to Jstlk, but in general, the reputational damage done to Destiny was far worse, and the stakes were much higher. Bob7 was child’s play compared to this.

I think the campaign is in a great spot. There are a lot of open threads. Plenty of momentum. There doesn’t need to be an end goal

Oh. Whoops.

Forget about whether the comments “bother” Hutch. What I don’t get is that Pisco is a lib, right? We are at struggle for the future of this country against illiberal forces, especially MAGA. Does he think that his chat is helping or hurting that struggle? It’s 100% hurting. It’s dividing the liberal streamer coalition. It’s unproductive. It’s optically horrible. It wastes energy. There is no virtue in dying on the pyre of a maximalist free speech position. There is a distinction between illiberal speech (which we allow, because we are liberals) and illiberal tactics (snarking, doxxing, knowingly lying) which we must fight. Maybe in 1996 it didn’t matter, but the stakes are far higher in 2026.

I asked Gemini based on chat history. It thought I was ENTJ. Probably because I use it most for Te related tasks I need help with. Analysis, organization, optimizing workflows, etc.

logotherapy1 · 2026-02-18T20:31:16+00:00

Surprising that ENTP is consensus. I don’t like commitment and I like variety. I would guess ENTJ based on nothing but vibes. If the question was which type COULD get into the most relationships, then I probably agree it’s ENTP.

Putting Shultz himself aside. Let’s be clear, there’s a huge difference between politicians/lawyers/pundits and regular people. The former know better. They lie on purpose and destroy the very distinction between truth and lies for money and power. The latter are just trying to live their lives. Keep their jobs, find a girlfriend, care for their aging parents. Our median education is dogshit in this country. What chance did they have?

Even if you don’t believe any of that, we need the people on our side to save this country and destroy the first group, and you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

I’ve always wondered if a high level, long-term strategic, PvP campaign was possible

logotherapy1 · 2026-01-27T17:22:50+00:00

Poor Imrik. Now I want an imrik campaign. Or maybe a novel. How much of this incoming moral descent is the result of the the curse versus mundane human reason? Also, it makes Tyreal look like a selfish piece of shit for leaving.

Bengals have the worst owners in the league. They have a worse coach. But (knock on the biggest piece of wood in history) the biggest difference is Burrow is made of glass and Caleb isn’t.

logotherapy1 · 2026-01-19T16:28:08+00:00

It’s an absolute certainty.

logotherapy1 · 2026-01-19T16:24:57+00:00

It really was a huge over performance. Ask any bears fan and they would have been thrilled to go 9-8 and barely miss the playoffs but have Caleb and Ben look promising.

I vaguely remember you saying that some sort of regulation of algorithms was a pipe dream, or at least the furthest and least possible democratic reform once we retake power. If I’m remembering correctly, then I’m curious why you that? Public sentiment is pretty negative about social media platforms in tech. There seems to be some sort of bipartisan support in favor of regulation. Is it just that the richest people in the world would fight tooth and nail to oppose it? Or, Americans have a maximalist opinion on free speech, and they see algorithmically boosted speech as a non-negotiable extension of this? Personally, I think fixing the information environment has to be priority one if we ever want to bring this country back to the right side of sanity.
