the disgusting truth about will is that he is a democrat first and a human second. he prefers democrats winning over human rights. that’s what he’s argued for his entire career. and that is also why so many people despise career democrats like will. they’re just in it for the power.
I'd argue that there are certain viewpoints and claims that are so ill-conceived and detached from reality that they should be discrediting for the person who is making them. "We must defeat Democrats in swing states, in 2026, to teach Third Way a lesson about moderation" is easily on that list.

nothing i hate more, rhetorically, than the “oh he did make a statement, but he said it with wrong words” bullshit from people like chait. oh if only they used the exact words that i wanted to hear! after which chait would still find something to complain about bc that’s all he’s got

continues to be impossible to ignore the NYT's anti-trans/pro-bigotry editorial stance
they also refused to publish one of his columns maligning the U.S. women’s soccer team quest for equal pay poor fella now has to publish over at substack, the freedom and free speech website for edgy and cancelled geniuses

A friend asked for kid friendly guitar pop suggestions and that Prousted me back to the Powerpuff Girls: Heroes and Villains album featuring 45 minutes of bespoke songs by 90s/00s power-pop heavyweights (including multiple Elephant Six artists!) and it’s a real “we used to be a real country” moment
if the goal is to intentionally wreck the US economy, what would trump be doing any different?
(FT) - Almost two years since Donald Trump won election pledging to slash prices and fix the US’s public finances, his Iran war and tax cuts have delivered a different outcome: record-high debt, soaring fuel costs and punishing mortgage rates. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/6cb3...

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
