Folks, this is a good-ass piece of writing.
Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

Winning by creating vision in the positive space of shared standards, and expertly negotiating the negative space of shame.

Matchbox 20. I like them. I have kept this opinion secret for nearly 30 years but I am going to embrace my truth. They just came on the Spotify and my heart nearly burst with joy. I don't care that it sounds like the soundtrack to Dawson's Creek.

What Klein is saying (in a perfectly overproduced video) is that he does not give a shit about anything. Nothing "means" anything. Politics is just a content trigger to write a column. Because he's reached a level of wealth and comfort where everything is just abstract fun. Like a board game.
"Much of what I would describe as Kirk's worst moments were now just standard fair MAGA Republicanism. And the leader of MAGA Republicanism is the President of the United States...we are going to have to live here with each other believing what we believe. Disagreeing in the ways we disagree."

This strange obsession with "unity" whenever a murder reveals the extent to which society is broken. The aim should instead be "the dignity of all humans" but that goal has long ago been abandoned as unattainable.
Thoughts:
It's not debating, it's shouting over people and gaslighting them so that their frustrated reactions make you go viral.
I am also very wary of people who think we should spend more time talking people out of their bigotry than helping those directly affected by their bigotry.

There’s misogyny at every level of cricket, whether you’re a fan, staff, media, player, coach, anything. It’s making women unsafe. It’s making them abandon the sport they love.
