I'll be the first admit that in general I thought the strategy of moving to the middle and trying convince Republicans & independents to use some common sense was the right move. Rolling out Cheney, et al. But it failed miserably. Trump held the whole conservative base! No defectors!

I've seen virtue ethics go bad plenty of times. You can see quite a bit of it on this site. In fact, a lot of our ongoing nightmare is the result of bad virtue ethics that is obsessed with restoring a 'natural' world (whether by MAGA evangelicals, MAHA eco-primitivists, or some others).

Yesterday I drove on four- to eight-lane superhighways all day. By the time I got to Janesville, Wisconsin, I couldn't stand it. I took two-lane US 14 along the foot of the Johnstown Moraine, with the dark soils of the outwash plain to my left, enjoying every stop sign and right-angle turn.

I’m so angry at every Very Serious Person that was unable to shut the fuck up about this shit for twelve seconds who directly contributed to this. I hope whatever clicks you got for focusing on the twee Oberlin contretemps du Jour were worth it.

One highlight from the debate on the rule was Republican Thomas Massie, who was yielded time by Democrats, and said, "We are not rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, we’re putting coal in the boiler and setting a course for the iceberg.

One issue with modern anti-conspiracism is that it doesn't provide an explanation for institutional failure that appeals to people unsatisfied with mistake framing I think unconscious bias + "purpose of a system is what it does" provides a helpful conflict framing that's non-conspiratorial

One crucial thing to understand about the book & tour (about Biden's age) from Alex Thompson & @jaketapper.bsky.social is that angry liberals yelling at them for wallowing in this bullshit while fascism takes over the country ... is built in. It's part of the business model. They want & expect it.

One of my crank opinions is that we should replace all the ethanol cornfields we're subsidizing in the Midwest, replace it with GMO frostproof hyper-fast-growth bamboo, build some engineered structural bamboo factories nearby, and make Iowa the lumber capital of the world
