It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

related to the view among the professional commentariat that only students at ivys and boutique liberal arts colleges actually matter
This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

I’m also kind of surprised that anyone would expect Arundhati Roy, of all people, to take an ‘apolitical’ stance on…anything
I love Arundhati Roy's courage, integrity, intelligence, and her artistry as a writer of fiction & nonfiction.
Wim Wenders, the jury chair, on being questioned about Gaza, said filmmakers have to stay out of politics. Roy said a genocide demands a response from everyone, artists included. I agree.

I don't know why Newsom's 2026 Ronald Reagan Day proclamation is suddenly going viral but for the record he has done this every year in office and I have the receipts for you. (I make this thread only to further point out that Gavin is a shitheel but also proclamations like this are widespread.)
