there was a concerted elite effort over the past five years to make America as bigoted as possible, conducted so openly that Chris Rufo was simultaneously tweeting "i am going to be lying about this subject" and being quoted on the precise subject he declared that he was lying about in the NYT

The scrutiny Mamdani is under is motivated by islamophobia, and a bunch of people read the islamophobia-driven discourse and then assume there must be a reasonable middle position. This just isn't that complex

No American outlet would hesitate to describe them as pro-regime paramilitaries or an irregular militia and similar terms if this was happening anywhere else.

almost all of harris's lost voters relative to trump were amongst voters who do not consume any political media. the single largest demographic which swung towards trump was hispanic voters who do not even speak english

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

under biden, there was no difference whatsoeever between the parties on Israel/Palestine other than that Biden was gently melancholy about Israel's desperation to kill as many Arabs as possible and Trump was concerned about how it might affect his bribes. trans rights are night and day.

the centrist line right now is 1. no one is saying gaza should be ethnically cleansed, thats hyperbolic insanity. 2. egypt shouldve facilitated us ethnically cleansing gaza.

it's extremely funny that even with a full-court press going at CNN, at politico, and about a dozen different top shelf pundits, jake tapper and alex thomson only squeaked out ~50K sales in the first week. for reference, both of woodward's trump books were 1M+ in their first week.

imho, a nontrivial amount of discourse is animated by a belated realization that Kamala would have been significantly preferable to Donald in a great many ways, and an attempt to rationalize this away as not to require a political coalition with lame people

Interesting thing. She has this quote from Aristotle's politics, where she claims he says that with automation, we wouldn't need craftsmen, but would still need slaves. This is interestingly, so I looked it up. At least in Rackham's translation, Aristotle appears to literally say the opposite:

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

I think the reason I roll my eyes at the use of "terrorism" to describe all attacks against Israel (even when that's exactly the right term) is because they don't care about Westphalian norms either. If you don't tolerate states, the violence will be stateless

Extremely if grimly funny how Marc Andreessen's friends describe his frantic cultivation of countless interlocking spaces where he can hear his own prejudices endlessly repeated and deepened, free from any criticism, as a "hunger for information"

Placement of stories and repetition of them ("drumbeat") is a more powerful influence than the content of them. The times is signalling, along with the neutral-framed headline, to everyone that they don't consider this story a big deal or scandalous

Doug Jones should take a crack at the seat. Nothing to lose, maybe you get lucky on another GOP freak implosion plus a strong national swing, and if nothing else it forces them to burn some money shoring it up they otherwise wouldn’t.

If you ask GC people what you would need to be able to change about your physical body in order to change sex in their eyes they will never give you an answer. They can't. Because to them "biological sex" is a non material essence like a soul, given to you at conception
