Ike, and I think it was the last republican

tell her thanks!

yes, thank you, that's how i meant it. not in a different octave

I think that's very astute. There is some Jimmy Stewart here, and that's one of the reasons it plays so effectively, including with people much older than Ossoff

She seems to be figuring out her own way, and it’s remarkable

Never a waver or a stumble. It takes huge concentration. A really good way to practice it is to try and hold the attention of an auditorium full of middle schoolers

AOC is figuring out her own interesting version I think

I think it's really useful to suss out what is working rhetorically, and it's not just 'don't roll over for fascists.' There's something about the way they're doing it--tough without being snarky--that works particularly well, and others should learn from. And Mamdani is a bit of a magician...

it's not 'people,' just me. sorry to darken your day!

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

the best--except maybe for Joe Mitchell

Liebling--a deep cut!

my sense was he meant: we actually might have been wise just to not pursue AI at all, that he'd rather his kids grow up in a world like the ones we grew up in where humans were making slow but steady progress on our own
