The people facing consequences in the US are small fry. No offense, but lawyers and Ivy academics simply aren't important enough to count as consequences in this moment.

3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

for any locals who want to get Mad At Numbers, I calculated the average high for January, which—to me at least—resembled life on Hoth, and it was 37 degrees: almost exactly average (in fact it was a little higher than normal)

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

As of yesterday, the Wpost was the only one left of the list above with foreign correspondents of its own. These jobs have not been replaced by independent journalists or substacks because of the immense logistics, expense, and personal safety issues around them.

This is absolutely the most important thing I’ve read in a long time. If you care about democracy, read it and share it.
Today I'm releasing probably the most important scholarly thing I've ever worked on - a report based on talking with 144 people about why they don't vote or only vote regularly, and on what needs to be done to build a democracy that can include everyone.
