  1. Marist poll has Biden +3 against Trump straight-up, but +7 vs. Trump with RFK factored in.

    The Marist Institute for Public Opinion (MIPO) is a survey research center. MIPO is home to the Marist Poll and conducts polls on politics, the economy, sports, technology and more at the local, state, and national level.

    A new housing development outside Phoenix is looking towards European cities for inspiration and shutting out the cars. So far residents love it

     

    I dunno about how I feel about the tech startup vibes of this place, but if the general concept of a neighborhood without cars can get off the ground in Arizona it should be able to get off the ground anywhere.

  3. I'm on Bluesky (I have 3 invites if somebody needs them btw), and really the only thing preventing me from switching there full time at this point is that Twitter is still genuinely useful for weather, and I don't see a lot of the weather accounts on follow on Bluesky yet, like the region-specific National Weather Service accounts. Twitter really is an absolute cesspool at this point. Every ad I see is for bottom-tier right-wing news sites or crypto scams.

  4. Today's showing me how much Twitter/X has completely degraded as a source for news. If you click on a trend about this you just get hit with a wall of blue checks saying absolutely vile shit about Ilhan Omar. Maybe if you find every reputable commenter on Bluesky it's a viable option, but it's not there yet for me. I had no idea what was actually going on until I popped on here instead.

    X is still worth something, but not for the people running it. Boss Linda Yaccarino is set to present her plans for the social network formerly known as Twitter to bankers holding nearly $13 billion of its debt, the Financial Times reported. Looming over talks is the likelihood that X’s value is substantially less than even that figure.

     

    Concerning. Looking into it. Concerning.

    Strange bedfellows are working to avert a “Godfather II” ending.
    Quote

    One senior Republican said the House GOP conference may be edging closer to tearing itself apart, drawing a comparison to what ultimately happened with the so-called “Five Families” in the Godfather movies.

     

    “The whole family kills each other,” the senior GOP lawmaker said. “ I think we’re close to that right now. We are in maybe the Godfather II stage.”

    The Five Families stuff was in the first movie! You don't know your Godfather movies!

    I absolutely hate that people don’t consider that they’re naming a future adult when they give their kids dipshit names. Like I worked with a Hayden and Jaycen at an old job. Like…why would you do that?

     

    but I have heard the theory that celebs put these names out there as red herrings so their kids could have somewhat normal lives when they get older

    I could buy that that's true for a lot of celebs, but as far as Elon goes, remember that the Tesla models are S, 3, X, and Y because they spell out "S3XY"
