"[Curtis] Yarvin has little to say on the question of human flourishing, or about humans in general, who appear in his work as sheep to be herded, idiots to be corrected, or marionettes controlled by leftist puppeteers." --The New Yorker, Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America, Ava Kofman

Such a skillfully done piece by Ava Kofman: thoughtful, searching, and wonderfully titrated. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

An absolute must-read. One small point at which my thoughts and the author's diverge: I think Yarvin is every bit as dangerous and influential as "certain Bluesky users imagine him to be."

Today I saw the executive director of the American Enterprise Institute attempt to address a conference room full of leaders of state human services agencies and I have never seen a speaker more reviled. Big swaths of the audience (myself included) simply walked out because he was such an asshole.

Amen. They get worse with each passing day. What kind of legitimate LE organization has to wear masks to hide their identities? Answer: A corrupt and violent one.

The Knicks have not won an NBA Championship since 1973. Firing coaches after successfull seasons might be the reason why. "Under Thibodeau, the Knicks improved every season." www.nytimes.com/athletic/640...

Republicans have attacked higher education since Reagan. Trump is trying to finish off colleges and universities forever. They don't want well-educated voters with critical thinking skills.

Besides the obvious stench of corruption to this particular grift, that is about as realistic a depiction of the Orange Clown as this💩 is a breakfast 🌮.

I tried to do a version of this report that @warren.senate.gov did, but gave up. The task was too overwhelming!! Two-plus full pages, 34 of 130 entries, focus on the regulatory help Musk got after buying the Presidency for Trump. (This is just a selection.) www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

“This year, as the hordes of rally-goers approached the Main Street Bridge in Jacksonville, flashlights in tow, the drawbridge began to rise—with no warning and no boats approaching … The bridge stayed upright until the marchers turned around and left, but they didn’t go home.” #Pride

Trump is trying to sell his domestic policy bill with lies. Let’s break them down. Trump said, “We’re not doing any cutting of anything meaningful. The only thing we’re cutting is waste, fraud and abuse.” False.

What is going on? This is insane. Trump just shared a completely unhinged conspiracy theory claiming President Biden was “executed in 2020” and replaced by a robot clone.

Totally inappropriate and really unprecedented for a cabinet secretary to overtly intervene in an election of an ally like this. And even more wildly (though unsurprisingly) on behalf of the pro-authoritarian party.
