I’m rambling, and struggling to figure out the heart of what I’m getting at.
It’s something about how maybe we should view the fecklessness of Democratic politicians the OP laments not as the •source• of the problem, but as the inevitable result of failing to form anti-fascist coalition, and to make that coalition into the other major political party in this country.
I feel like there’s something useful in there, something maybe strategically helpful that gives us a sense of agency. And man do I hate grand political cynicisms that rob us of our sense of agency.

Tom Brady on role as Raiders limited partner: 'I'm there as a great sounding board' https://www.nfl.com/news/tom-brady-on-role-as-raiders-limited-partner-i-m-there-as-a-great-sounding-board

James Jani is one of the best serious YouTubers out there and he burned out. So far, so common.
What I find interesting is something what he says that doesn’t resonate with me at all: “you gotta enjoy the process”
For me, I’ve NEVER enjoyed the process of creating ANYTHING.
I always:
1. wanted something to exist (sometimes out of spite 😇),
2. hated every second of making it happen,
3. enjoyed that it exists.
Guess there’re 2 types of creators. 😅

Quantum-Cognitive Tunnelling Neural Networks for Military-Civilian Vehicle Classification and Sentiment Analysis
Prior work has demonstrated that incorporating well-known quantum tunnelling (QT) probability into neural network models effectively captures important nuances of human perception, particularly in the recognition of ambiguous objects and sentiment analysis. In this paper, we employ novel QT-based neural networks and assess their effectiveness in distinguishing customised CIFAR-format images of military and civilian vehicles, as well as sentiment, using a proprietary military-specific vocabulary…

Sometimes I forget that #OpenStreetMap doesn’t search for venues near your location so sometimes I enter „café“ and it zooms all the way across the planet to the village of cafe in Argentina or something.

A while ago the media reported that most of the long-distance "suburban" trains between #Wrocław and #Poznań will be discontinued, and instead one will have to change trains midway. Irrespective of whether it's actually going to happen, let's consider it.
As you can probably tell by now, I'm not a stranger to changing trains. In fact, there are some direct connections that I do criticize. For example:
• Poznań — Szczecin — Świnoujście, where arriving at Szczecin Główny and turning back to leave the city is a waste of time. It's better to change trains at Szczecin Dąbie.
• Poznań — Krzyż — Kostrzyn, where instead of using a single railbus, you can use a larger EMU for the Poznań — Krzyż segment, and a smaller DMU for Krzyż — Kostrzyn (in fact, only recently the "direct" Poznań — Kostrzyn train involved just that, but it was supposed to be temporary).
However, good matches are the key. Say:
1. Max 10 minutes (when there are no delays) from one train to the other.
2. "Door-to-door" transfer — without having to carry all your luggage across platforms.
3. Reliable connection — if one train is delayed, the other train waits for it (or there are so many alternatives that it doesn't have to).
Can such a thing happen on Poznań — Wrocław route? I have my doubts.
I've been using these trains for years, and I can say this: there is no effort to match train from/to Poznań with other trains in Wrocław. Sometimes the trains depart 10 minutes before the first train from Poznań arrives, sometimes I need to transfer in 10 minutes, and sometimes I have to wait over an hour. And the same in the other direction.
Perhaps things would actually improve if the route is split. Perhaps people would actually care. Maybe even the trains would be fitted better to the timetable in Wrocław. But I find it hard to believe.
EDIT: One final thought — since there is no real reason to split these connections (except for profiteering), why make travellers' lives harder?
