Thirty-One Percent and a Rally
Read more . . . →Trump spent the weekend in Georgia and Michigan, stumping for candidates who are trailing by double digits. His approval rating is 31 percent. Democrats lead the generic ballot by twelve points. The plan to fix this is more rallies. Speaker Johnson called the president this week asking for more campaign money. He didn’t ask for a new strategy or a policy adjustment. Just a check. The Republican playbook for saving the House in 2026 is to put the least popular president in modern history on a stage in Perry, Georgia, and hope volume is a substitute for polling. Forty-five percent...

Strapped into a reclining chair by a leather belt, mouth wide open, delighted, while a mechanical arm spoon-feeds him a tiny glowing screen. Next to him a machine holds six more in a grid, loaded and ready. The whole thing is painted in mid-century ad style, the kind of illustration that used to sell refrigerators and cigarettes.

This Week on coldplaysucks: Oct 18 - 25
Read more . . . →Fifty-four tracks in one week. Drum and bass and dubstep ran the whole show, house kept the lights on, trance refused to leave, and the big-room machine pumped out festival fuel like it had a quota. A ridiculous week, even for us. Here is what connected and what you should not skip. The Charts TLM feat. Merely - Summer Jam: climbed to the top after seven weeks on the board. Still going. Isam Hadjih feat.

Sixty-Eight Billion and a Three Percent Raise
Read more . . . →Harvard sits on $68 billion. Sixty-eight. Their investments made 27% last year. And they’re in a standoff with 4,000 grad students over a 3% raise. These are the people who actually teach the classes and grade the papers. They want protections for noncitizen workers and an independent process for harassment complaints.
