I am often critical of the “elite corruption” or “elite failure“ narrative (it often diverts attention from the choices of the electorate & papers over genuine fault lines in American society), but the l’affaire Nuzzi really is precisely that.

“Color revolution” & “lawfare“ are competing to become the least understood & least meaningful term in American political discourse.
The term “color revolution” has completely lost all meaning on both sides of the aisle.

claude has been clauding on some pdf stuff tonight and i've noticed that it's starting to get kinda funky with the file names as we iterate

first we had '2025-processed'
then '2025-corrected'
then '2025-corrected-fix'
then '2025-final'

we're up to '2025-final-v2'

I’m hung up on “the poverty line…claims to define the threshold to the middle class.” Uhhh…no, it doesn’t?

my general inclination on defense as a non-expert is that you should have (1) a lot of people & (2) a lot of stuff that sufficiently meets specific needs.

re. Nuzzi’s article on Biden, it should be embarrassing some people fell over themselves to praise what ultimately was not a revelatory article, but the impact was not that significant.

(i don’t think nuzzi’s profile of biden really affected perceptions of him or his electoral chances, my memory is that when it came out it was considered a little behind the conventional wisdom)

I don’t think that “the shooting demonstrates why Trump was wrong to send National Guard troops to D.C.” is going to be very persuasive to anyone who does not already oppose the deployment.

I think that students using chatbots to cheat on assignments is not unconnected from our economic order but the connections are somewhat more indirect or circuitous than generally assumed in public discourse.

One of the guiding principles of Trump’s foreign policy is the pursuit of dubious détentes with maximum dishonor.

The new Vanity Fair editor sought to make his magazine less woke and some of his first moves were hiring Olivia Nuzzi, publishing an abstract nude of Nuzzi by a person now alleged to have made illegal recordings on her behalf, and putting only men in the Hollywood issue

The current iteration of the Republican Party generally yearns for violent crime, because it presents opportunities for repression, lurid fantasies, & content creation.

Charles Darwin briefly discussed dogs’ senses of humor in the 2nd edition of ‘The Descent of Man’ 👇 and then fleshed those ideas out further in ‘The Expression of Emotion in Man and Animals’

Never forget how ass out Ben was to defend Nuzzi as news of her scandals broke.
Never forget who dove head first into defending this. Remember them every time we hear about a kid who dies of whooping cough.
