Yeah you wanna win the seat for all of the reasons but I really don't love the idea of a 79 year-old freshman Senator. I really wish Democrats would stop doing this. bsky.app/profile/carl...

I see this a lot re: Weiss, and while I'll grant that the larger right wing which backs her wants this ultimate result, neither she nor they will be served to this end if she is seen as an incompetent with the failure being solely her doing. bsky.app/profile/mike...

online in general is about the crucial authenticity of our whining and the sinister frivolity of everyone else's whining

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."
