The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

“How slaves bet on Roger Taney and lost”

me: aw I left my phone at home. This is worse than- my buddy who just got into horseracing: than when secretariat finished third at wood memorial? me, checking Wikipedia: no. much worse than that

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

It constantly baffles me how a senior official in a liberal party cannot see a person clearly applying to be a Concentration camp administrator who literally killed their own puppy and think: yeah I will vote for them.

The environmental impacts of AI claims are speculative. The claims quickly shift from high-demand AI data centers to ALL data centers and then make projections based on the AI hype about growth in the industry.

watching the Rob Ford documentary and just saw my fav Rob quote, wherein he compared Toronto city council to saddam Hussein: “you guys have just attacked kuwait”

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.

honestly a reflection that most of the lives of members are choreographed where they just play a roll, they don't really value their own agency most of the time and don't really understand how to seize the initiative

Once you have one the world contorts around how well it’s actually not that bad that you have one, really provides stability even.

seems bad that mainline prots and catholics, which i have mostly neutral and occasionally positive views on, are hemorrhaging members and the homophobic parking lot snake charmers that take their communion with mountain dew are generally growing

Dem insiders talking about Ella Emhoff must sound like the Nixon tapes

The question this piece never really asks is why Elon is unbothered by this. You can believe a lot of speech moderation is BS but not even trying to drive CSAM or pedos off your platform is highly questionable at best.

its fun to think about twitter and bsky like bimetallism

Yes. Dems spend a lot of time and money coordinating PR campaigns that go nowhere and do nothing, and they hate when things like “their chief opponent breaking the law to cause a disaster” disrupts those schedules, because they haven’t even got the consultants to test up any slogans for that yet.

He’s wrong but this is an incredibly common elite pathology: the belief that your voice should be held strategically in reserve, to strike at the right moment and change everything. Then they do and it’s washed away by the firehose of noise. I call it Jim Mattis Syndrome.

I think they took the wrong lesson from "flood the zone with shit" strategy being effective: they think they can clean it up by being laser focused, and then using everything else to steer back to (whatever is point one)

The Rosetta Stone of elite politics, methinks. In this cover you see what the chattering class, our most ignoble 4th Estate considers worthy and what it thinks is an after thought.

increasingly obvious that congressional dems have seized on the "distraction" thing because it provides them with an excuse for doing nothing about any concrete issue and instead complaining about some general principle that they think plays well in focus groups

Politics is about people who vote for you as much as it about people who don’t!

recalling when I worked at the flight school and a wayward turtle walked onto the runway and a pilot said so, then a guy in a golf cart went out there, moved the turtle, and radioed "the turtle has been revectored", a phrase that has been seared into my brain for life

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

I think it is underappreciated how many discourse takes are driven by intraprofessional competition and grudges

Hell yeah bro. Made it to Wednesday. Nothing bad can happen now

none of these people are capable of analyzing politics in terms anything other than their narrowest and most petty resentments
