Come on now, you can't expect people to learn the full story before getting mad about it. This is the internet, they've got assumptions to make, priors to confirm, and virtue to display.
I apologize 😉
In response to learning they had absolutely no clue what was happening during the election (‘weird’ was never abandoned), the immediate response of a wrecker is an easy ‘ah… but nevertheless.’

Olivia Nuzzi did more than violate journalistic ethics to help RFK Jr's campaign. She assisted an apostle of pestilence. In humanity's struggle against disease, fought since the beginning of history, she sided with the enemy. She betrayed the species. She betrayed us for her own gratification.

The Hungarian model is: make your country into a giant wealth extraction machine.
Squeeze out all the value the populace & public goods can provide, then funnel the proceeds to the dictator, his family & cronies.
It's the public equivalent to what private equity did to ToysRUs & Red Lobster.

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

If Trump isn’t the most OPENLY corrupt president in US history, who is? He makes Harding’s *personal* corruption look quaint.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

My empathy is so high I can’t actually relate to people who lack it. In fact my friends Dunning and Kruger told me so.

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:

In the 1400s, most peasant farmers slept until 8-9am, ordered burrito delivery around 1pm, pizza at 7pm and listened to folk rock until midnight.
did you know? before Frederick Winslow Taylor invented scientific management in the 1880s, absolutely nobody had to wake up early to spend hours being paid a pittance for back-breaking labor. I know stuff like this because I need to in my job as a writer for The Economist
“Capitalism forces you to wake up at 7am against your body’s natural rhythms” no that’s Taylorism and if you don’t like living in a society that coordinates effort to ensure a better outcome for all then I don’t think you’ll love the alternatives

If Doug Jones is elected, he will be far to my political right, but much, much further to the left than any sitting Republican. Like Manchin (but not Fetterman or Sinema), he is the best Democrats can do in a blood red state. And THAT’s OKAY! Pending other candidate announcements, i’ll support 999%.
So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

I’m not saying this post is misrepresenting men’s spaces. I’m just marveling at and thankful that I have essentially avoided this for the entirety of my life. How & why that is so, I can’t explain. But thank fucking god. The only downside is that it leaves me blind to that reality, such as it is.
I've found that men's spaces communicate pretty strongly that the only acceptable way to be a man is to be career focused in a male-coded (e.g. non-caregiving) field, excel others in that field to attract a partner (treated like a trophy object) and flaunt success.
It is not a healthy script.

Obama feebly tried to stage an open convention. That would have been much, much better.
It was never clear to me why Democrats rallied around Harris so immediately, except for some weird notion on appearing unified.

I give to candidates for various reasons. The # 1 reason is ‘i think they’re the best candidate & my donation can help.’ But sometimes I give even when I KNOW THE RACE IS HOPELESS. Why? B/C it feels good. I’ll always donate against Nina Turner Rick Scott. I’ll give to Jones & Warnock regardless.

It’s been a real surprise that Senator Sanders hasn’t done more to gum up the Senate. A complete surprise. A shock, even.
Use every tool at his disposal to gum up the works (as what's his name from Kentucky did for years). There is no reason that any Trump nominee should have gotten a single Democratic vote. Particularly nominees as abysmal as Kennedy.
