incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

very interesting that the guy who wrote the “i can’t find a job because i’m white” piece zeroed in on me as responsible for the negative response on bluesky, despite the fact that i wrote a single post about the piece well after the discourse had started. …

let me suggest that the impulse that leads someone to run to compact magazine to complain about DEI — "they took my job!" — probably does more to explain professional failure than DEI [contains quote post or other embedded content]

when you read this it is very clear that Wiles thinks she is flexing the administration's muscle. relatedly, it is also very clear that the White House is completely delusional about its standing with the public. they are high on their own supply.…

i'm glad i rewatched this because i have a much better handle on why i was so obsessed with it as a teenager. besides the fact that it is very funny and a great send-up of heavy metal bands, it has the loose feel of a hang out. putting the movie on feels a…

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media…

the other thing that strikes me about dreher’s take — and related ones — is that they depend on the conceit that political history began, at most, 10 years ago. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

related to this a lot of people in the pundit class need to learn how to just be annoyed by someone or something without turning it into What’s Wrong With America [contains quote post or other embedded content]

i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky. …

we also got a few different versions of duran duran as well (the bravery, franz ferdinand, kaiser chiefs and i'd say the killers, who are duran duran if simon le bon grew up in new jersey) [contains quote post or other embedded content]

update this for 2025 and it is a pretty legit pitch to voters. nixon may have tormented himself to ruin over his belief that he couldn't connect with voters, but his electoral record belies his self-doubt. he was very good at politics! [contains quote…

there is a very good book about transatlantic exchange of fascist, eugenicist and racist ideas in the early 20th century and how those ideas shaped the nazi government in its early years. this has been transformed in popular understanding to "the nazis…

honestly, if i were trying to design a place for the political opposition to take a stand against trump, i couldn't have done better than abrego garcia. by trying to destroy basic constitutional protections, it was *trump* who made this a dispute over due…

there are pundits who will say that immigration is trump's strongest issue and that picking fights around immigration helps him on the margins. but i think this misunderstands the way public opinion works, as evidenced by trump's declining fortunes on his…
