I can’t imagine enjoying reading drivel like that, and I’m guessing you do it on a regular basis

it’s no wonder why your brain is broken

Yes, the blog written by a physician in the Bay area that has $600,000 a year worth of paid subscribers and discusses Bayesian statistics, politics, medicine and science in detail is drivel.

Definitely not the slop you post.

his credentials have nothing to do with his writing skills

hilarious that you brought up how much he makes off of it as if that means anything

^ it's a very popular center lefty blog. Though it does have a kooky California flare. Scott Alexander has famously had beef for over a decade with all the right wing people you are just now hearing about.

As per usual with crazy leftists he was doxxed and alienated instead of used as an asset to align against the right.

I don't know why you consider Socratic dialog drivel. It's been a perfectly fine way to illuminate an argument for thousands of years.

Really tough for me to pick sides sometimes when you guys fight.

I just posted so you could have even more fodder to hate on the centrists on our own island that destroyed democracy.

" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Sees Popularity With New York Republicans Surge"

" A survey of New York State voters by Siena shows that 21% of statewide Republicans view AOC in a "favorable" light. Point of comparison: In august 2024 a Siena survey showed that only 8% of statewide Republicans viewed Kamala favorably, with 7% for Biden."

" SCOOP: Two Democratic aides and a lawmaker told @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has discouraged further member excursions to El Salvador"

Quote :

" But while Jeffries may be publicly agnostic on El Salvador trips like the one Reps. Robert Garcia, Yassamin Ansari, Maxwell Frost, and Maxine Dexter recently took, privately he sees the trips as having run their course. Two Democratic aides and a lawmaker who spoke to The Bulwark said that the minority leader has discouraged further excursions to the country even as pressure mounts within the party to turn up the heat on Trump for sending 238 men to a notorious prison system known for human rights abuses. "They want to let the El Salvador stuff slow down," a senior House staffer said. Jeffries's office declined to comment."

fuck this

"the jefferies non-quote and then full-throated denial isn't even really the important story here, it's that espaillat and booker are trying to negotiate directly with bukele (and bypassing state) to get face time with garcia, which explains why the trips have stopped for the moment"
