the interview where a local reporter said basically "this is a tactic so that less lethals hit the suit, right?" and the original frog guy responded "nah man, we're just being silly to show that this is absurd" really hit me in the soul

These accounts make a mockery of Kavanaugh’s insistence that these stops are brief and painless for those who have a right to live in this country but look a certain way to ICE agents.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.

These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

Netanyahu wouldn't have accepted this deal from Biden, but some commentators don't seem to realize that this makes Biden's deference to him all the more damning. He was obviously in the tank for Trump! So why didn't Biden play hardball?

I feel like the title of my book - Theology in the Early British and Irish Gothic - isn't very sexy or puts people off thinking 'well, I'm not interested in theology so... meh'.

But my books offers well researched challenges on key Gothic issues 1/

Ok so I really disagree here and have written and worked on this extensively. There are a lot of issues woth Hoeveler's work on anti-Catholicism. I recommend the work of Maria Purves (don't agree with it all at all but a useful counterbalance), Robert Miles (europhobia essay), Alison Milbank and 1/

I mean, I think the fact that the NYT employs Douthat full-time to launder the views of fascists for their readership is kind of the point.

Nathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 15h

The fact that Ross Douthat is employed by the New York Times, the most important "liberal" media institution in the country and that Chris Rufo is one of their favorite sources, should probably illustrate the problem.

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."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
