What's striking to me are the rules of engagement and the methodology of action here, which more or less is predicated on burying liberal delusions about "debate" or the "marketplace of ideas". The rules were ultimately very simple: amplify your own message and suppress your opponent's.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

Tropical Storm Edouard is organizing and strengthening, but doesn’t have much time left over water (thankfully). The storm reminds me of Humberto in 2007. The primary risk is heavy rain and flooding as the storm moves inland into eastern TX.

It's ENSO-forecast day at NOAA — the perfect day for an ENSO announcement of our own. Starting next week, we're taking baby steps toward rebooting the ENSO Blog, which ran on Climate(.)gov from 2014–2025. 🌎️🧪 [1/4]

First ever NBA finals trip SHAQUILLE O’NEAL. Age 23. Swept 0-4 in 1995. Today he has four championships. LEBRON JAMES. Age 22. Swept 0-4 in 2007. Today he has four championships. VICTOR WEMBANYAMA. Age 22. Lost 1-4 in 2026. (❓❓❓)

I love this Morocco team. I also love that they have upgraded an already nasty 451 midblock to an even nastier 433 midblock
