I can't stop thinking about the fact that legacy media thinks Trump's McDonald's stunt is bigger news than Milley's comment about fascism.

FYI, I checked Musk’s bullshit “petition” site. It’s a data mining operation. You can just put anything in the fields, there is no check. We can poison the entire data set SUPER EASILY. Just pick a zip code in the suburb of Philadelphia or Pittsburgh and write bullshit:

“Male loneliness” is quickly becoming to 2024 what “economic anxiety” was in 2016: a euphemism meant to disguise a dominant group’s turn to Trump out of status and identity grievance as a kind of reaction to their supposed victimization. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/18/u...

The Evidence for a Big Youth Gender Gap and a Right Turn for Young Men

Young men are much more Republican than young women, the best data suggests, and may wind up backing Donald Trump.

Something you should know about the Trump McDonald’s appearance is that the restaurant was closed and the food service was all rehearsed with pre-screened volunteers

With his aggregator, Nevin Michael got the polling closer to the final result than everyone else in 2020 and 2022. He did this by eliminating all the junk polls and the ones that were purely GOP fantasy vehicles. You might be interested in his current results. 🧵

Two weeks before the election all the networks gave live airtime to election deniers to spread the new lie that the 2024 election will be rigged

Michael Gold at the NYT, to whom I’ve written in the past, finally breaking the fourth wall and confirming what I’ve long argued is likely happening at the Gray Lady—the gentle treatment of Trump is an editorial choice. Good for Gold for trying.
