something i'm observing: the robots are still really bad prose stylists. they can write highly structure technical documents well, but anything involving authorial voice or progressive disclosure is really ham handed.

I love how dropping an f-bomb has become a political gesture.

Worth reading.
The MAGA new right “seems to be betting that the American polity has a deep reserve of untapped nativist rage”—but may also be “underestimating the everyday decency and patriotism of the American public,” Laura K. Field argues:
The Intellectual Edgelords of the GOP
The mainstreaming of transgressive ideas is the culmination of a yearslong conservative project.

it’s a big part of why i became catholic, and why after becoming catholic i moved further and further right.
"All right-wing men are secretly gay" is hack and an oversimplification but it's pretty clear a lot of right-wing influencers (Benny Johnson, Crowder, etc.) viewed conservative politics as a twelve-step program for their attraction to men
An explosive sex scandal has rocked the “trad” online right.

Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment
In the last two weeks he's put his name on the Kennedy Centre, pushed "Trump accounts" for every kid and just announced a new Golden Fleet of Trump Battleships. And we're still in the first year of his term! This time next year, will the date be Trumpday the 23rd of Trump, twenty-twenty-trump?
This is some straight-up monarchy shit. Naming buildings after himself while he's alive, making his birthday a national holiday....

age and professional credentials aren’t ironclad indicators of knowledge or trustworthiness, but they’re useful signifiers.

Public institutions should not be seen as vehicles for “greatness” but as makeshift devices for maximizing justice and happiness.

i remember trying to understand that deep queasy feeling i got in my stomach when i walked through the underwear section or saw a bowflex infomercial or a muscle magazine.

But the A&F quarterly boys sealed the deal.

Thread for highlights but the really disturbing part isn’t the government lawyer asking to be held in contempt, it’s plaintiff’s lawyer describing the systematic rights violations and refusal to comply with court orders.
If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

I’ve been trying to nail down the right description for Vance’s public persona for a while now. I think “whiny scold” might be it, but that doesn’t really capture how profoundly lacking in moral character he is.
Reporter: Do you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti?

Vance: For what?
