TWENTY MINUTES INTO THE FUTURE:
The next time you see Graham Platner will be his announcement of dropping out. The next time after that will be his interview on Tucker about how AIPAC and the Epstein Class did this to him.

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM:
Marxism is much more than an economic program.
Marxism is, first and foremost, a social reengineering program that uses a denial of objective truth as a path to power and control.
Marxists deny that law and morality have any basis in verifiable, immutable, objective truth.…

And the real point:
Apparently pseudo-oyster farmer and Maine Democrat Senatorial candidate Graham Platner is dropping out of the race against incumbent Susan Collins. A breaking news story says he sexually assaulted a former girlfriend.
The real story here is that the Democrats were so desperate…

“The real story here is that the Democrats were so desperate to capture the vote of actual men with normal testosterone levels that they nominated a guy with an SS Nazi tattoo, a history of misogyny and bizarre online sexual comments, and a record of sexual assault. After their foray with the masculinity of Fancy Tim Walz, that was the best they could do. The Democrat Party is toxic to actual men.”

As the memory hole heats up, DemSoc is about to get its first unperson:
Exactly. That’s coming next. They’ll say that his dropping out shows that his movement is morally superior. Much as they now say “despite what you wingnuts said, Obama didn’t pass any gun control,” as if that was by choice, not because he was stopped.

TWENTY MINUTES INTO THE FUTURE? Platner planning to drop out of Maine Senate race: Report.
OUCH: Microsoft cuts 4,800 jobs, as Xbox unit downsizes and plans to spin off four gaming studios.
Microsoft is eliminating 4,800 jobs, representing 2.1% of its workforce, with the company’s Xbox division losing about one-fifth of its staff in the software giant’s latest effort to cut costs in the era of artificial intelligence.
“The way technology is built, deployed, and used is transforming faster than at any point in my time here,” Amy Coleman, Microsoft’s chief people officer and a 27-year company veteran, wrote in a message to employees Monday.
Xbox is cutting 3,200 people through fiscal year 2027, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma wrote in an email to division employees, noting that 1,600 roles would be eliminated on Monday. The other 1,600 exiting is on top of the companywide total of 4,800 leaving immediately.
“I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges,” Sharma wrote. “Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day.”
The cuts amount to 20% of Xbox employees leaving, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named in order to discuss internal changes.
“We will return to growth in 2027,” Sharma wrote.
Microsoft spins the cuts as AI-related, but the company’s Xbox division is in trouble, and has been for a while: Former Microsoft Executive Issues Dire Warning About Xbox Consoles.
