But Can She Win? - Early polling already indicates that Harris is more competitive with Trump than Biden was

Early polling already indicates that Harris is more competitive with Trump than Biden was, even as Trump is still favored. (At the end of the Harris campaign’s first week, the gold-standard New York Times–Siena College poll had the race effectively tied, a considerable improvement over Biden’s previous six-point deficit.)

But Can She Win? -  Early polling already indicates that Harris is more competitive with Trump than Biden was

Early last year, I joined Kamala Harris on a mostly unremarkable day trip to Atlanta, where she talked about climate change and promoted the Biden administration’s tax credits for electric vehicles. It was the day after the president’s third State of the Union address, and Harris was still struggling to earn respect. Some pundits and donors had spent recent months whispering that she’d been a disappointment as far back as her 2020 presidential campaign, and chatter was circulating— not for the first time—as to whether Joe Biden should remove her from his reelection ticket. At the same time, I’d been hearing from Democratic strategists that Harris’s image was far better than Biden’s among Black voters, especially Black women, and that this was being badly underappreciated in the Beltway parlor games. “Younger girls kind of see her in a way that younger African Americans saw Barack Obama: This too can happen; there too can I be,” Cornell Belcher, a pollster who’d worked on Obama’s 2008 campaign, told me that winter. “It’s beyond politics; it’s beyond cultural. It’s a spiritual thing.”

“From a political standpoint,” Belcher added, “that shit is gold.”

Few national outlets were following Harris’s work during that period, and none took notice that her first stop in Atlanta was to record an interview with Steve Harvey, whose radio show reaches millions of mostly Black listeners. At one point in the conversation, Harvey slipped and called Harris “Madam President.” He only half-apologized: “My bad,” he said. “Probably just a hope.” As Harris promoted Biden’s insulin price caps, Harvey sounded impressed, and at the end of the interview, he got earnest. “You mean a lot to so many people,” he told her.

Drowning in Slop - A thriving underground economy is clogging the internet with AI garbage-and it's only going to get worse.

SLOP started seeping into Neil Clarke's life in late 2022. Something strange was happening at Clarkesworld, the magazine. Clarke had founded in 2006 and built into a pillar of the world of speculative fiction. Submissions were increasing rapidly, but “there was something off about them,” he told me recently. He summarized a typical example: “Usually, it begins with the phrase ‘In the year 2250-something’ and then it goes on to say the Earth’s environment is in collapse and there are only three scientists who can save us. Then it describes them in great detail, each one with its own paragraph. And then—they’ve solved it! You know, it skips a major plot element, and the final scene is a celebration out of the ending of Star Wars.” Clarke said he had received “dozens of this story in various incarnations.”

The City Politic- The Other Eric Adams Scandal The NYPD shot a fare evader, a cop, and two bystanders. He defends it.

On Sunday, September 15, Derell Mickles hopped a turnstile, got asked to leave by cops, then entered the subway again ten minutes later through an emergency exit. This was at the Sutter Avenue L station, out by his mother's house, five stops from the end of the line. Police said they noticed he was holding a folded knife. They followed him up the stairs to the elevated train, asking him 38 times to drop the weapon.
