I did this event in Detroit with Jason Reynolds. Had a really good time. That’s always nice. It’s also nice when Orlando is your interlocutor. He gets me to say things like this

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

I like Heather Cox Richardson. She’s a nice lady IRL who has clearly read a lot of books.

I know I'm in the minority in being seriously underwhelmed by PLURIBUS, but I'm trying to imagine the corner of the multiverse where Shonda Rhimes could get a show greenlit about a bitterly misanthropic and generally toxic angry black lesbian whose angry outbursts literally have a massive bodycount.

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

to be clear, it is fine if you just want to dick around! that's what i mostly do on here. but the idea that "you're giving up the fight to influence people by not using X" is belied by the fact that effectively *no one* uses X. and i don't see any of the "use X!" people on tiktok or youtube.

following Trump's election i revised a lot of my personal ethics (maybe i'll do a write-up on that at some point) but the main thing is i care a lot less about mass persuasion
polling and campaign messaging etc aren't *useless* but they are mostly washed out by forces way beyond our control

I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

American cops would have shot that man who stopped the gunman, let the gunman the away with a stroll and then sued the hero for making them look bad.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

I haven't met A SINGLE liberal/Progressive/Democrat who has said that anyone in the Epstein Files who is a Democrat should be protected or immune from any crimes they committed.
NOT. ONE.
That's the difference...among many others.

Another horrific school shooting in America. My heart is with the students, their loved ones and the entire Brown University community.
Our kids deserve leaders who will do everything they can to keep them safe from gun violence.
Congress must do more.
