In the 1990s, cable news networks discovered that viewers were less likely to click away from coverage of culture war issues than coverage of economic matters.

Out of court. Fascinating to see Judge Xinis in action. My read is that she’s FAST losing patience with the defendants, and skeptical that they will comply with her orders in “good faith” (a phrase she used many times, pointedly).
She’ll keep trying, but now she’s building a record for contempt.

I’m at the federal courthouse in Greenbelt for Judge Xinis’s 4 pm hearing in the Abrego Garcia case. Pretty big protest out front already.

This was a painful but rewarding story to work on. For New York Magazine, I wrote about the devastating effect of AIDS on the city's theater community, and what has become a decades-long effort to create a full list of those we lost. www.vulture.com/article/hiv-....
The List Keepers
The AIDS crisis shattered Broadway, and the scope of the loss has never been fully accounted for. Some kept their own records.

The "Just Asking Questions"/"Just Having A Conversation"/"I'm Cancelled For Just Wanting To Talk" crowd is always so short on specifics.
They love to talk in innuendo, but when it comes down to what specific rights they are OK with tossing aside, they clam up.
They also use the worst framing.

This is a deeply dishonest, inflammatory op-ed by Democrat Seth Moulton, who touts his "unimpeachable" record on transgender rights while calling trans girls boys and insinuating there aren't enough restrictions on their participation in sports.
