Every day a new scandal from the past to the present erupts. The pattern is not some commentary on a set of institutions or leaders.
It is about the rot at the core of almost all our institutions and our leadership.
At its core, this is why fascism is here. The rot has rotted.

Something no one prepares you for when you publish a book is how deeply moved you'll be when anyone tells you they've read it. I keep tearing up and making it really weird, sorry everyone

Every time I see an excerpt from this Nuzzi production I think of Mencken's lines re: Harding's writing: "It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash."

Ppl who want you to express gratitude but suppress trauma are dangerous.
You’re in a collision and they say be glad you had a car. As if gratitude pays hospital bills.
You’re underpaid/sexually harassed at work and they say be glad you have a job. Despite being exploited with poor mental health.

I know my marriage is a radical act (merely holding a boyfriend's hand in public in South Mississippi for the first time 15 years ago felt like an act of revolution).
I also know I wouldn't have the rights I have today without trans people who have fought alongside gays, lesbians, bi people, +.

Many free Creole families had some wealth, so New Orleaneans of color didn’t just go to the opera—their children studied piano, violin, and other musical instruments...
“There were so many classically trained Black musicians that they formed their own orchestra in 1840.”

Puzzling that the centrist pundits who are arguing for a "big tent" Democratic Party are the same people who spend all their time on social media attacking the left. The Venn diagram of these two groups is practically a circle.
Meanwhile, if you take Dems and subtract the left, you get 2000 and 2024

Political journalism, and the elite tier of journalism generally, got taken over by billionaire courtiers, conservative activists and sex-pest dipshits and those three groups have largely hounded the real reporters out of the profession as a matter of class self-interest.
