☀️ The most important thing to understand about politics is that Head Monkey Good, Not Bad. Stop saying Head Monkey Bad. ☀️
Bari Weiss lives in a fantasy world and her version of CBS News is going to be a total catastrophe, journalistically and financially. I'm looking forward to it!

My take on the general idea of having for-profit companies involved in the field:
Letting Silicon Valley Geoengineer the Atmosphere Will End Badly
We already have plenty of evidence of what happens when things better left to governments — which in this case might decide to never flip the switch at all — are ceded to private industry.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

A theory about vibes:

Human beings are deeply social creatures. Our need for a legible social order is rooted almost as deeply in our brainstem as our need for basic physical security. We need -- not want, need -- to understand who's in charge, who are allies, who are enemies, *how things work*.

It's funny to read about the old-timey racism of the Zionist movement 100 years ago. Rudolf Sonneborn, one of the most important American fundraisers for Zionism, said the average Arab "is inferior even to our average Negro...they are a cowardly race."

The problem with climate change is we have to convince a bunch of people that future people are actual people, when they don't even believe some currently alive people are people.

Lots of people are questioning Olivia Nuzzi's judgement. But while her affairs with RFK Jr. & Mark Sanford seem bad, what's far worse is that she thinks the "old glamour of magazines" can be resurrected.

Strong points from Sarah Hurwitz: "Our key mistake was giving Jewish children brains that think and hearts that feel, and then encouraging them to use them. This naturally leads them to sympathize with Palestinians. We should consider removing our kids' brains & hearts until they turn 45."

Congressional republicans have been spewing racist attacks on Mamdani for weeks and it’s almost never mentioned in our media. Not only that, the person leading the hate campaign—Randy Fine—is treated by the same media as a good faith expert on antisemitism. I wrote about this obscene double standard
Why is Mainstream Media Ignoring Overtly Racist Attacks on Mamdani from Congressional Republicans?
Non-stop Islamopbohic vitriol, threats of deportation, and virtually no coverage from CNN, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Post.
