This is correct, and is talked about in the book “The Frailty Myth”. There is a history of men changing the rules of an entire competitive sport after a woman wins.. I’d have to go back and find it.

The choice of Columbia in particular shows that there's no amount of suppression of pro-Palestinian speech a university can engage in that will insulate and protect it; so might as well try to do the right thing, which Columbia has determinedly avoided since October 7. www.gsa.gov/about-us/new...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

We will never know— we will never have the faintest idea— how much money is getting made in insider trading windfalls from people in Trump's and Musk's circles who have an hour of notice about the daily swings in tariff policy or the occasional announced expectations of such swings.

Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

I didn't realize until now that ABC isn't just closing down 538 they're doing it like as of today. Full stop. No more data collection. As of right now. That's fucked up. Businesses have their own realities (support genuinely independent media). But that's an extra layer of fucked up.

Simplest and most important thing for Democrats to be telling people, reminding people is that Donald Trump is jacking up prices for everyone on purpose. It’s not that he’s a goof or doesn’t know how things work. He lied to the voters and now he’s raising everyone’s prices on purpose.

One day, if we ever get out of this, it’s going to seem very conspicuous that in the years after Dobbs the media and elites were preoccupied with pronatalism, male loneliness, and prolonged digressions about feminists’ various evils and personal failures.

YIMBYism is wild because you start to ask questions like “why was single family zoning created?” and “are our regulations for building safety based on any actual safety data?” and soon realize that ~85% of the rules governing our cities are based on nothing but tradition and vibes.

I appreciate this. But the loss of public goods and expertise is a harm to the nation. Privatization will not avert the harm. Essential services left to the highest bidder degrades the foundation needed for a healthy, sustainable nation.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.
