Search for the Helpers
My e-mail handle is down by the plant; please ship examples of there (“Helpers” within the topic line). In our more and more determined and fragile neoliberal society, on a regular basis regular incidents and tales of “the communism of on a regular basis life” are what I’m in search of (and never, say, the Crimson Cross in Hawaii, and even the UNWRA in Gaza).

Friday’s RCP Ballot Averages:
When you ignore the whole idea of margin of error and go along with the narrative, one other good week for Trump, particularly in MI and PA, tbough not, oddly, within the two hurricane swing states, GA and NC. In fact, we on the skin may as properly be inspecting the entrails of birds once we attempt to predict what’s going to occur to a subset of voters (undecided; irregular) in a subset of states (swing), and the irregulars particularly may as properly be quantum foam, however presumably the marketing campaign professionals have higher knowledge, and have the scenario as underneath management as it may be MR SUBLIMINAL Fooled ya. Kidding!.
* * * Kamala (D): “Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer feeds Doritos to left-wing influencer in deeply weird ‘communion’ video” [New York Post]. “Within the quick clip, posted on podcaster Liz Plank’s Instagram account, the lefty influencer was seen on her knees opening her mouth for Whitmer to put Doritos on her tongue.” • Right here it’s:
NEW: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer feeds a chip to a begging liberal podcaster on her knees in an effort to get extra votes for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Leaving the query of why a Canadian podcaster apartMR SUBLIMINAL Sacre tabarnak!, what on earth was Kamala’s marketing campaign considering? IM Doc posted on this in feedback this morning, studying the video as a Communion parody. A lot for the Latino vote! Being an Episcopalian — the priest would place the wafer in my hand — that wasn’t my first studying; I noticed the video as some type of weird domination/submission ritual* (and a lot for these younger males, together with each suburban family with out a dungeon within the basement). Apparently the subMR SUBLIMINAL snickertextual content of the video was — please sit down — industrial coverage, particularly the CHIPS act as a result of — observe me carefully right here — Doritos are chips (and go lengthy Doritos, I suppose). If I have been Julie Chávez Rodriguez (marketing campaign supervisor), Jen O’Malley Dillon (marketing campaign chairwoman), Jeffrey Katzenberg (marketing campaign co-chair), Mitch Landrieu (marketing campaign co-chair), or Cedric Richmond (marketing campaign co-chair), I might be getting Whitmer — additionally a marketing campaign co-chair (!) — on the cellphone, to have a full and frank alternate of views. In fact it’s too late, however one may as properly vent. NOTE * Pr0nographic in character, with Huge Gretch wanting into the digicam.
Kamala (D): “Whitmer, Shapiro, Evers to launch battleground bus tour selling Harris” [The Hill]. • Nice thought. Will the flaming wreckage of Whitmer’s profession slot in one seat? Or will they want two?
Kamala (D): Can’t anybody right here play this sport?
I advised y’all the place this was headed. Obama popping out to chastise Black males is a disgusting show of racist paternalism, and it’s unacceptable. None of us ought to tolerate it. Democrats wish to blame everybody however themselves and individuals who voted FOR Trump. https://t.co/KF6cv7FHI7 https://t.co/N6Cxv4dNPs pic.twitter.com/u7Dpi20bdG

Kamala (D): “Vice President Kamala Harris on Her Race to the End” [Vogue]. Value studying in full for the ambiance. I keep in mind, from the film Shakespeare in Love, a monitoring shot that adopted Queen Elizabeth: as she processed alongside, she was at all times surrounded by a swirl of courtiers doffing their hats and bowing; that should have been all she noticed; this text describes an analogous milieu. This caught my eye: “I ask what her first name can be on reaching the Oval Workplace. ‘One in all my first calls—exterior of household—can be to the workforce that’s working with me on our plan to decrease prices for the American folks,’ she says. ‘It’s not nearly publishing one thing in a revered journal. It’s not a couple of speech. It’s actually about, How does this hit the streets? How do folks really really feel the work [what work?] in a means that advantages them?’ She says she plans to fulfill with ‘those that will help us put again in place the freedoms which have been taken away with the Dobbs determination’—the ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade—to get Congress to cross a regulation. ‘That’s going to take some work,’ she says.” • This doesn’t imply something. There’s nothing right here. It involves items in your hand. Anyhow, Vogue? Reaching out to these working class readers, then?
Kamala (D): “Contained in the Harris marketing campaign’s floor sport” [WaPo]. “Six questions for … Dan Kanninen: We talked with Vice President Kamala Harris’s battleground states director concerning the marketing campaign’s floor sport as early in-person voting begins within the states anticipated to resolve the election.” Kanninen: “We constructed groups in these battleground states for the reason that starting of the 12 months, [starting with] severe operatives who’ve received powerful races statewide in these states as leaders, after which layering in dozens of senior workers after which lots of of organizers — now into the 1000’s. Throughout the battleground states we presently have 2,500 workers, greater than 350 workplaces. They’ve been partaking lots of of 1000’s of volunteers, tens of 1000’s in every of these battleground states. Final week [they] knocked on one million doorways within the battleground states and [we] have continued to ramp [up] our voter contact efforts.” • Pushing a string?
* * * Trump (R): “Trump’s small-dollar donor fundraising is beset by confusion and fatigue” [Associated Press]. “Republicans additionally engaged in a hyperaggressive — usually combative — type of digital fundraising that’s alienating voters, the operatives stated. Campaigns and committees usually share or lease lists of donors to one another, resulting in voters being flooded with related solicitations that may be complicated. ‘Republican distributors have so mistreated our donors that many grassroots donors don’t wish to give to us anymore,’ stated John Corridor, a Republican fundraising advisor and companion at Apex Methods. ‘When you make a donation to virtually any Republican candidate at present, inside three weeks you’ll begin getting 30-50 textual content messages from different candidates you have got by no means heard of earlier than.’ Corridor’s agency despatched surveys to Republican donors earlier this 12 months and located {that a} majority of those that responded stated they continued to obtain textual content message solicitations after they’d requested to be faraway from an inventory. ‘Donors really feel like they’re by no means thanked, they really feel abused, they usually don’t know find out how to get off lists,’ Corridor stated. ‘This has a chilling impact on everybody’s fundraising.’ Small-dollar donors echoed Corridor’s issues. They advised the AP they stopped giving to Trump’s marketing campaign as a result of they have been uninterested in being barraged with solicitations for donations from different Republicans, who presumably obtained the donor info from the Trump marketing campaign. Others stated they have been being extra cautious about their political giving because of monetary struggles. ‘I’m sick of them asking for cash,; stated Susan Brito, 51, of Florida, who gave dozens of small donations totaling $69 in 2022 and 2023 however hasn’t contributed this 12 months. ‘I’m disabled, you’re sending me textual content, after textual content, after textual content.’” • Seems like Republicans have ten or 100 Mothership Methods. Sloppy!
Trump (R): “Truth test: Univision debunks false right-wing declare that Harris used a teleprompter at city corridor” [CNN]. “Univision has debunked a viral false declare that Vice President Kamala Harris used a teleprompter throughout her city corridor with the Spanish-language community on Thursday. The false declare generated tens of millions of views on X, the social media platform previously often known as Twitter. It was made by a number of right-wing commentators with important followings, together with Benny Johnson, Charlie Kirk, Greg Value and Fox Information host Sean Hannity. Each the moderator of the city corridor, Enrique Acevedo, and the president of Univision Information, Daniel Coronell, refuted the declare in their very own X posts – noting that the teleprompter that was seen on the printed had textual content in Spanish, not English, and that it was materials for Acevedo, not Harris. Acevedo, responding to Johnson’s declare that ‘Univision by accident broadcast proof that Kamala used a teleprompter at her city corridor,’ wrote: ‘The prompter displayed my introduction (in Spanish) after which it switched to a timer. Any declare on the contrary is solely unfaithful.’ Coronell, responding to Value’s declare that ‘Kamala is utilizing a teleprompter throughout her ‘city corridor’ with Univision,’ wrote: ‘That’s not true. The teleprompter that shows a textual content written in Spanish was a assist factor for the city corridor moderator. I can inform you this with first-hand data as a result of I used to be answerable for the tv program.’” • I virtually ran Benny Johnson’s clip earlier than I checked the textual content on the Teleprompter display screen and couldn’t learn it. And presumably Johnson et al. would have enlarged the textual content had it supported his speaking level. So there you’re. In fact, the Democrat’s propagated the false story about Vance having congress with a sofa, however when the supply (each editions of Vance’s guide) was checked, the story was debunked. Distributing an actual clip with a false implication appears extra insidious to me.
Democrats en Déshabillé
“I’m Operating Out of Methods to Clarify How Dangerous This Is” [The Atlantic]. Lead sentence: “The reality is, it’s getting tougher to explain the extent to which a significant share of People have dissociated from actuality.” And: “The world feels darkish; for many individuals, it’s tempting to fulfill that with a retreat into the delusion that they’ve obtained all the pieces found out, that the powers that be have conspired in opposition to them straight. However in turning away, they exacerbate a disaster that has characterised the Trump period, one that can reverberate to Election Day and past. People are divided not simply by political views however by whether or not they imagine in a shared actuality—or need one in any respect.” • That is particularly wealthy, for the reason that editor the The Atlantic is one David Frum, of the Bush Administration that propagated the WMDs narrative on the way in which to the Iraq Conflict debacle, the misinformation marketing campaign that I got here to political consciousness with. The Atlantic — the home of ill-fame during which the unholy marriage of liberal Democrats and Bush Republicans was consummated — was additionally assiduous in propagating RussiaGate. And but these folks prate about “shared actuality”!

Sequelae: Covid
“Vascular Pathogenesis in Acute and Lengthy COVID: Present Insights and Therapeutic Outlook” [Thieme]. From the Summary: “Lengthy coronavirus illness 2019 (COVID-19)… manifests with a broad spectrum of relapsing and remitting or persistent signs in addition to assorted ranges of organ injury, which can be asymptomatic or current as acute occasions similar to coronary heart assaults or strokes and recurrent infections, hinting at advanced underlying pathogenic mechanisms.

Inflation: “United States Producer Costs” [Trading Economics]. “Producer Costs in america elevated to 145.17 factors in September from 145.10 factors in August of 2024. Producer Costs in america averaged 117.54 factors from 2009 till 2024, reaching an all time excessive of 145.17 factors in September of 2024.”
Manufacturing: “Tensions are rising within the Boeing strike after the planemaker filed a criticism in opposition to the union” [Business Insider]. “Reinstating the pension plan stays a key problem for a lot of on the picket line — however Boeing’s chief negotiator, Mike Fitzsimmons, advised The Seattle Instances there’s ‘no state of affairs’ the place this may occur. In a press release shared with BI, Boeing stated it stays dedicated to reaching a compromise. ‘The union’s public narrative is deceptive and making it tough to discover a resolution for our workers,’ it added.”• So what’s flawed with the union’s “public narrative”? They weren’t Fitzsimmons’ stenographers? And their not “your” workers, buddy. Sheesh.
Manufacturing: “FAA’s ‘failing system’ of monitoring Boeing blasted by federal watchdog” [Seattle Times]. “The FAA hasn’t moved to proactively determine threat or demonstrated the way it will resolve allegations of undue strain inside Boeing manufacturing, the [the Transportation Department’s inspector general] discovered. Among the many different findings: The FAA doesn’t have an efficient system overseeing particular person Boeing factories, hasn’t ensured the corporate has successfully resolved its provider points, and hasn’t assessed the effectiveness of Boeing’s security administration system, which focuses on product and office security. ‘By enhancing its oversight mannequin to raised handle threat, FAA will help to enhance a failing system and restore public belief within the security of Boeing plane,’ the report stated. In response, the FAA agreed with the suggestions and pointed to its addition of extra security inspectors in Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems amenities. The company stated it plans to completely implement the inspector common’s suggestions between 2025 and 2028.” • Do I actually have to offer credit score to Buttigeig?
Manufacturing: “Boeing and Airbus have a significant headache in widespread” [Quartz]. “Christian Scherer, head of the industrial airliner division at Airbus, advised a gathering of French aerospace journalists that Spirit’s charge of manufacture is ‘not precisely the place we want.’ Airbus is dealing with strain to massively enhance its airplane deliveries with the intention to hit its year-end steering, which it has already needed to minimize as soon as this 12 months amid provide chain difficulties. When the door plug fell off a Boeing 737 Max 9 in January and triggered a Federal Aviation Administration-imposed throttling of manufacturing to handle high quality management points, Airbus advised traders that it didn’t count on to hit any of its personal plane-building roadblocks. Nevertheless it has — to its prospects’ frustration. (In addition to the Spirit velocity problem, Scherer advised the French gaggle that it was additionally working into delays with engine provider CFM Worldwide… It’s particularly ironic for Airbus as a result of the window of alternative that Boeing’s misfortunes opened was because of a fuselage constructed by Spirit, which Boeing spun out in 2005. With the intention to minimize down on so-called ‘traveled work,’ a producing course of the place aircraft elements are assembled out-of-order with the intention to velocity completion, Boeing reabsorbed the non-Airbus elements of Spirit in July for $8.3 billion.”

“Contained in the funhouse mirror manufacturing facility: How social media distorts perceptions of norms” [Current Opinion in Psychology]. “These on-line dynamics are amplified by the design options and suggestion algorithms on varied platforms. As an example, a current evaluation of the algorithm on Twitter/X discovered that it prioritizes evocative content material. This incentivizes customers to create such a content material which will help them construct a big following whereas warping public perceptions of norms. Certainly, people who find themselves targeted on gaining social standing are probably the most hostile on-line. These strivers might additional distort norms as they rise in standing That is compounded because of the truth that there’s usually little motivation for somebody to submit a nuanced or average opinion on social media. Furthermore, nuanced or average posts usually threat hostility from extra excessive ingroup and outgroup members, particularly since such hostility has little price for the aggressor as a result of social distance the net atmosphere affords. Certainly, people who find themselves politically average have been extra prone to report being harassed on-line, despite the fact that they have been additionally much less prone to submit. Individuals who maintain much less excessive beliefs have much less funding into arguing, and when attacked by individuals who have extra strongly held beliefs, understand it as extra hostile. The truth that individuals who ‘troll’ different folks sometimes have greater darkish triad traits additionally doesn’t encourage nuanced debate.” • Hmm.
“Intercourse bomb: The collateral injury of OnlyFans’ explosive success” [Reuters]. “OnlyFans and its supporters painting the platform as a secure and empowering outlet for profitable, socially acceptable intercourse work. Nurses, academics, law enforcement officials and Olympic athletes have posted racy content material in pursuit of additional money. As OnlyFans takes porn into the mainstream, nevertheless, the platform additionally has generated ripple results which have upended lives in surprising and typically traumatizing methods.

These findings have been drawn from police complaints obtained from greater than 250 of the most important U.S. regulation enforcement companies. However the recordsdata additionally reveal collateral harms: households torn aside, reputations threatened, funds ruined.” • And that’s earlier than, as is the way in which with all platforms, enshittification kicks in.
