“As soon as the message turned from an abstract argument against Trump into an unambiguous case that Trump’s own former allies were making against him, it became the single most persuasive line tested by Blueprint. It was stronger even than abortion rights and Social Security. In other words, hearing about Trump’s unfitness from people who worked with him, and from Republicans one would expect to defend him, seems to make a difference.”

“She consistently struck a tone that was reassuring and self-assured. She was serious and at times even a bit salty — as she was when contrasting the decency of Joe Biden with the utter indecency of Donald Trump. But she never seemed nasty or even super angry, which was also vital, since women simply cannot get away with that like men can. I’m sorry, but you know it’s true.”

@tchambers

Thank you for posting your live video pan from your seats! It was great. The crowd and sound are an amazing you-are-there moment, more engaging, personal, memorable that the (excellent) Convention video.

I hope you’re able to post a similar live video from your seats for VP Harris tonight. Even if you have to wait until Friday to post it, it would be an another great memory. Thank you for all of your liveblog coverage!

“…one of things that makes a technology like ActivityPub interesting is that it provides a working implementation for the means by which that information, in all the curatorial files in all the museums, might be distributed. Crucially, it provides the means to do so without the Faustian bargains that we've seen the earlier social media platforms extract in exchange for reach and access.”
