Ha didn't even notice

Yes, and the Wis Dems and their consultants are also fucking shook right now. They've been absolutely fumbling everything in this race.

More people should follow it, it's fucking funny:

Socialists started organizing for Hong very early, so she has been in the lead since the beginning of polling
Democrats fielded the Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez, who is a white woman with a Spanish last name from marriage
They also fielded Mandela Barnes, the guy who miraculously lost control of the Senate in 2022
The County Executive of Milwaukee County David Crowley was polling at less than 1% and dropped out to endorse Sara Rodriguez
Dems started consolidating around Rodriguez
Rodriguez campaign finance manager was just embezzling the whole time? Turns out the campaign did not have half a million dollars, it had maybe 30k? or maybe negative 100k? We still don't know.
Rodriguez dropped out
Crowley re-entered the race. He then hired a campaign manager for the first time. This was like a week and a half ago.
Mandela Barnes was polling not too far behind Hong, so naturally he started doing epic Twitter clapback maldposting at Crowley just for saying basically "hey guys we're back in the race! 🙂"
Governor Tony "Shitlib" Evers endorsed Crowley
Crowley jumped up in polling all the way to 9%. Hong is at like 38%
Crowley and the Dem establishment started begging the election board to allow people to spoil and recast their ballots because a lot of people literally early voted right after Crowley dropped out
they said "no lol"
Dems are suing the election board
Hong is just moving on to attacking the Republican
Mandela Barnes is slowly bleeding vote share and freaking out between putting out ads of himself in a bar talking to shitty tv commercial actors. But don't worry he's gonna Get Stuff Done and Fight Hard

He appears to be suspending. It's curtains. There is a more normal progressive that people are talking about now. He's probably gonna lose but I don't think it's guaranteed

It's bad. I think they're going to believe her

lmao thats so fuckin cool

Gotta keep the kelly emote in there

Chris Roberts must have made the unreasonable demand that the menu buttons in Squadron 42 should do things when you click them

new site tagline just dropped

Same honestly. I think right wingers understand that the only way he can have a positive legacy is if he dies, which is why so many of them are trying to murder him. If he dies more than like a couple days before his term ends, then about 20% of the country will say that he was thiiiis close to fixing everything and JD Vance just fucked it up

Yeah it's not going to change a ton but god, the memes, it's gonna be truly wonderful. It's gonna make the Kirkening look like a blip

This is great! Thank you! I had heard of this exact story from third-hand sources and this is much more detailed. Ed Zitron is great and I have to deal with Google search for work a lot, and I'll probably share this article with people I know who do similar jobs

Yep. Starting in 2019 the Ads department internally defeated the Search department and successfully degraded the quality of the algorithm in order to keep people searching.
