Democrats flip deep-red Pennsylvania district

“Democrats pulled off an astonishing upset in a special election for the #Pennsylvania Senate on Tuesday night, as East Petersburg Mayor James Andrew Malone defeated #Republican Josh Parsons by a 50-49 margin to flip a district Donald #Trump carried by 15 points last year.

Since taking its present form in Lancaster County 40 years ago, the district has always been held by the #GOP, and the county as a whole has gone for a #Democrat at the presidential level just once since 1856 (Lyndon Johnson just barely won it in 1964).

Text Shot: Local Democrats, however, were undeterred, taking heart—and advice—from their counterparts in Iowa, who flipped a comparably conservative legislative seat in January. That district, though, had gone blue as recently as 2018; the 36th never had. Despite the district's history, one conservative activist, Scott Presler, warned last week that Parsons, a Lancaster County commissioner, was "currently losing this special election" and complained that Republicans "aren't taking special elections seriously." Presler's tweet caught the attention of none other than Elon Musk, but it doesn't appear that Musk followed up his comments (in full: "!!") with any sort of cash infusion. (Afterwards, Presler lamented, "I asked for help in Pennsylvania & no one helped us," adding, "-482 votes"—Parson's losing margin.)

Not online today as I’m helping get out the vote for Dan Goughnour for PA State House, 35th District.

If you live in #Pennsylvania in McKeesport, White Oak, Duquesne, Clairton, South Versailles, Homestead, Liberty, Lincoln, Munhall, Port Vue, Versailles, West Homestead, Whitaker, or West Mifflin (districts 3, 4, 15 only) today is a Special Election Day and you should vote at your normal polling place. 🗳️

Help out and vote in local elections. They matter.

Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!

#Trump will be at the #NCAA #Wrestling championship in #Philadelphia tonight, and the #resistance plans to show him what the people think of him! I know many of us have laughed at Philly sports fans' behavior, but I WILL GIVE THEM THEIR DUE: I've seen them boo the living daylights out of Gary Bettman and I expect an even more impressive display tonight! 😂 👍🏼

Give it to 'em, Philly!

one of many stories to think about whenever crypto bros are trying to convince you that bitcoin transaction processing ("mining") is environmentally friendly:

> "The plant burns waste coal, a lower-grade fuel left over from abandoned mining operations, to generate electricity. It uses that electricity for crypto-mining, a process where power-hungry computers generate digital currency like Bitcoin."

Fish: Fired!

12 hours ago

As predicted by colleagues, comrades, fellow contrarians, my own gut, and friends, I was fired from the University of Pennsylvania yesterday. The news was delivered to me by email, not a phone call or an in-person campus meeting,
