It's a corollary of this blog, nobody reads any more, nobody gets subtext any more, everything has to be made incredibly obvious in a post-literate society musgrave.substack.com/p/a-post-lit...

A Post-Literate Society is a Too-Literal Society

Directness is a virtue and subtlety is lost

Well typically throughout history the minority party was overruled by the majority party by virtue of being in the minority so maybe we can start there

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

10 years ago, Amanda Marcotte was calling Bernie supporters a bunch of racist, sexist, spoiled rich kids and now she's trying to launder the history of the Young Republicans. el oh fucking el.

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

Journalists spent months documenting Stephen Miller's affinities for white nationalism and Trump just goes and tweets it out.

Trump: I want to thank Stephen Miller I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far

I don’t want to put on my conspiracy hat, but the sudden interest of the Trump administration in expanding the definition of enemy of the state, and very public fixation on this specific protest, makes me think they’re planning to turn it into an example

For what it’s worth the movie sets up a sequel that brings back classic characters from the original TRON, so this is probably just Disney grousing about making a vague theatrical commitment to making the sequel this movie promises.

“it sounds better this way” “yeah it does” is how grammar works. anyone who says otherwise is a stupid asshole

my college grammar education course presented it as, if your phrasing communicates what you intend to say effectively to someone else, your grammar is correct, even if it’s “wrong”
