it is possible to be not in great touch with people when far apart, but proactive about pinging them when you will be in proximity to meet up, which can lead to re-connecting intermittently - very nice experience, would recommend.

we lean on a bunch of custom pre-sets the 4 YO has decided are the correct color/brightness/noise for sleep, wake-up, etc... but i do like to fiddle with the wake-up time

Thank you, that is so kind! It was a real labor of love to brew this one and write it up, while learning about an archetype (storm) that was new to me.

my first primer (and first B4 deck, and first storm deck), a labor of love that somehow has the 3rd-most likes of any Sami deck on Moxfield

When someone is seeking your endorsement (of you individually and/or of your political organization), and broadcasting that their run is contingent on the endorsement, it seems pretty normal to say something?

If anything, DSA catches strays for lack of discipline. This was quite disciplined.

"Is Hakeem Jeffries bad?" is not the question that was in front of NYC-DSA.

The Dems can pick a different leader from among their 213 representatives, that's not on Mamdani/DSA.

The question in front of NYC-DSA was "is this the right candidate and the right election cycle to mount this challenge?"

you got me to mute/block pushtheneedle (on the old site and this one)

sorry mine is tongue-in-cheek (but also totally real), i'm sure you'll get a bunch of nice very sincere replies too

yes it does. KEXP kept it in rotation for years.

we are used to 'paper endorsements' that come from journalistic outlets and interest groups, which are just a signal "we think you should vote this vs that" - but DSA is not a journalistic outlet or an interest group. 'endorsement' in this context is not the same.

happy to forward you information about the publicly stated reasoning if you're curious. no need, if you're not curious. IMO, it's good for orgs to decide what an endorsement means to and from them, democratically create criteria, and transparently discuss those with a campaign seeking endorsement.
