I used to work out of that marina in Boston Harbor. Neat little area. Hope Island is nice because it's boat-in only. But that crossing from Boston Harbor to the Island is much more challenging than it appears. It's the confluence of multiple inlets so that section can just churn. It's much easier to skirt the mouth of each inlet and island and make shorter crossings.

There's been a lot of positivity about Zohran Mamdani lately. A socialist winning even just a primary in the largest city in America is a big threat. So there's currently a big push to tamp down on that and portray the movement as politically unviable and a handout to the far-right.

My folks were technology skeptics and limited access to screens. We had strict allotments of time to access electronics.

This taught us how to game the rules and make up arguments to justify our discretions.

They were also lawyers, so we walked into the first trap.

He ran on the platform the Democratic Party ran on for 2020, which still held appeal regardless of his track record. But honestly after his stroke his spouse really helped carry him across the general. In the end though she isn't the senator.

But now there's no platform at all so he's just doing whatever he wants, including being a total shitbag. He's a senator for a failed party, after all.

The coordinated political hit job on Corbyn was so ugly and blatant.

After his stroke his spouse became a strong component of his campaign. She seemed more progressive speaking on his behalf.

At that point though it was all hands on deck to prevent Oz and the GOP winning.

I gauge things through his spouse and how she was a large part of his popularity and momentum on the campaign trail, especially after the stroke and the primary.

So on some level people were kind of voting for her. And she's pretty much disappeared.

They don't so much 'change sex' as they grow reproductive organs in response to conditions and blast sperm and/or eggs everywhere, sometimes both at the same time.

They don't want his actual response, opinion, or policy. The desired outcome is obedience, and obedience alone.

I'd rather AOC knock Schumer out of the Senate in 2028. (Or a special election if he for whatever reason is unable to complete his term.) Congress needs as much replacement as the White House.

But it is really frustrating framing how the article is already conceding Trump will be the dominant candidate for a third term in 2028. That's a long way off.

You've already got him beat for my vote if it came down to it.
