This is not a deal, it’s extortion, the United States will be forever shamed by it, and it would behoove the American press to show a little self-awareness about the perfidy of its own government.

It’s that day that comes but once every two or three years - new Califone album day. Nearing thirty years and still nary a bad album.

And what does international law say? Do you have a sense of proportion of the Gazan population that are considering this? Is there a meaningful way for Gazans, or others who oppose this act of genocide, to work against it?

When your political imaginary involves only the language of legal/illegal and ignores the language of right/wrong or beneficial/detrimental, your politics are in near-terminal decline.

Marianne Faithful’s late career was incredibly honest and unconcerned with success (though she had that). Such an amazing life story and one of the most unique voices since Billie Holiday. Rest in power.

If you are suddenly feeling liberated to use historical slurs for disabled folks, you aren’t some free speech crusader. You are an asshole. Grow up.

The reason there is so much silence about Musk being a Nazi is not because it’s a close thing- we have a lot of evidence and anyone else would be smeared. The reason is that he’s too powerful, and outlets fear lawsuits and reprisals. That’s an oligarchy.

Postmedia is a big problem in Canada, and much of the media slept on it as they bought almost every paper in the country. We have here, under a potential Conservative gov, the possibility of the media pulling the public to the right of the Cons, as happened in the UK.

I’m at the beginning of being a small part of a very big research project and I’m going through AB annual reports over decades. It amazing how up to the 1990s they were plausibly succinct and economical in writing style, and by 2000 it’s all McKinseyesque gibberish.

worries me a bit that we can’t get beyond arguing the semiotics of a gesture anyone can see, done by a guy who spent billions on bringing the nazis back to twitter, who endorsed the AfD, etc etc

Look, with the mounting evidence of Musk’s fascist beliefs (he wrote an editorial in favour of AfD), if media outlets can’t call that a fascist salute, I’m not sure what they are doing. And to some who are saying it was linked to an autism diagnosis- no. Stop it.

The thing about the Yarvin piece in the Times is that he has a high school level of sophistication about American history. It’s also clear that he, like most people who want to destroy democracy, actually has no real beliefs about anything. Seems like a great person to platform, NYT!

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Aside from being a total fabrication that doesn’t even rise to the level of ‘facile,’ it is also a view into the maw of a bottomless need. Everything this guy has - and it is more than almost any other human being has - is ashes in his mouth.

"What I’m trying to say is that if you want a safe and functional road, guardrails are only part of the solution. The rest of it is stuff like maintenance, adherence to the law, and upholding a very basic sense of human decency."

If you change some nouns in that Douthat column arguing (with a smirk) that Canada should join the U.S., it is really similar to Putin’s arguments in favour of invading Ukraine. Congrats, Ross?

Hating bureaucracy is part of conservative ‘common sense’ and has been since the rise of bureaucracies. But we have seen the United States choose a royal court form of government. The experience of court governments, and their record of disaster, is why many states fled to bureaucracy. /1
