A war in the desert impacting the flow of the stuff that makes transportation possible? Religious figures taking stands against AI? Bickering nobles and a duplicitous emperor?
Frank Herbert was right!
Fantastic game, Disco-like in the funniest ways.
I get why people want to vote for Kelly because of Gaza. I think its a mistake because she will not win.
Senator Stratton would be more likely to pivot on the issue than a Senator Krishnamoorthi. And Stratton is a lot better on every other topic.
The right move is to vote Stratton & pressure her
Nice argument. Unfortunately, I have already depicted myself as the assured and laughing head of FDR and you as the screaming and infantile Adolf Hitler
Famously upon the restoration of Charles II there was a parade held through London with prominent images of Dionysius; letting deposed Puritans know the boys were back in town, so to speak. I think we're gonna have to do that with Woke 2. Publicly cancel some prominent media men in the town square.
I, for one, welcome our new Sea People overlords.

Wonderful news!!
Now to do it in Chicago.
Vote Juliana Stratton this March.
I get why so much of the Trump admin messaging is done through extremely online memes - when they open their mouths and try to speak in complete sentences they usually make things worse.
If you do *anything* good for people then all the businesses and millionaires will leave and we'll be left in ruin so we can't do *anything* good for people.... Supposedly
Build, baby, build!
Don't want to unfairly dunk on this guy, because pro-Eisenhower propaganda has convinced people that he was George McGovern with an R next to his name, but Eisenhower was an awful President for anyone who considers themselves a friend of progress, and in this thread, I'll cover why. 🧵
$300 million mistake
That's the same cost as 25,000 Head Start slots
“The despotism of custom is everywhere the standing hindrance to human advancement, being in unceasing antagonism to that disposition to aim at something better than customary, which is called, according to circumstances, the spirit of liberty or that of progress or improvement.”
— John Stuart Mill
RHETORIC - You -- against the atom, the charm and the spin. Where the whole world failed -- matter failed to bend to human will; human will failed to get out of bed and tie its laces -- you alone, single-handedly, will rebuild the dreams of the working class. You are The Last Communist.
Big congratulations to the “no new wars” crowd.
There were many bad reasons to support (or anti-anti-) Donald Trump. But none with as much willful denial and reality inversion as yours.
Both Stratton and Kelly have their shortcomings but Raja is awful and if he gets in we’re gonna be stuck with him for life.
We can’t afford to fuck around on this one.
If Julianna can beat him we should back her.
Please don’t throw your vote away on Robin Kelly.
No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then, one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen... they come for you.
A strange game, the only winning move is not to play.
Many workers have missed shifts without jobs being destroyed making it challenging to measure labor impacts with conventional sources.
We use real-time daily data from Homebase to measure impacts. Thanks to UChicago and Homebase for making the data available.

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.
“Totalitarianism appeals to the very dangerous emotional needs of people who live in complete isolation and in fear of one another.”
