im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

@thirdwindowfilms.com Love Third Window, and I’m accumulating quite a a pile of them, but the lack of a resume function drives us crazy as we almost always split a movie over two nights. I gather BD-J is the reason, and wondering if there’s any plans to change that going forward?

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

@dankmccoy.bsky.social Walked into the kitchen, and my wife was watching On Becoming a Guinea Fowl. I looked it up on Letterboxd, and mentioned “Dan McCoy has it marked as *want to watch*”, which elicited an “oh wow!” Siskel & Ebert eat your hearts out!

"AI art is democratizing creation" creation is already democratic pick up a pencil homie

This sentence is so dumb that it keeps resetting my brain like someone’s holding in the power button and won’t let go

Fried steel-cut oats season is here!

one way to think about the dems in the last 8 years is that they wanted all the electoral benefits of being a popular front against authoritarianism but none of the substantive commitments

Wrote for @discourseblog.com about how it's always marginalized communities like trans people who get blamed for Democratic failures, rather than the highly-paid DC insiders who actually control the party discourseblog.com/p/its-blame-...

@parkermolloy.com As a counter to terfs posting their childlike understanding of biology, I was really pleased to see science communicator and clinical neurologist Steve Novella post his encounter Jerry Coyne. Not that actual biology is persuasive to bigots, but… theness.com/neurologicab...

woke up to a dramatic email asking me to come back and that i am dearly missed. it can be flattering to have someone else lay their emotion bare and become vulnerable for you. but im gonna ghost cause it came from the store i bought a toilet from last year

like, vance’s “pro-worker” conservatism becomes legible when you realize that it is only “pro-worker” in the sense that vance wants to elevate the cultural status of the male, blue collar worker — wants to make that an identity that commands deference

Billionaires seem to be entertainingly stupid at everything except exploiting workers

"this is a story we're following for you" has a lot of moving parts that malfunction when the audience believes tv is real
