A fun prank would be to wait for two months and then pretend we all want to see the new Tron movie until they bring it back for another theatrical run, and then not go see it again

he saw it as “defeatist,” which it plainly isn’t — it’s realistic, and in a certain light, hopeful

TNC was trying to explain that sometimes the good guys lose; not because they’re wrong, but because this is a country with no shortage of evil people. It’s always been like that. You fight on, anyway, for a better future — even one you might not live to see.

Ezra was incapable of understanding this

Weird how they say that vaccines are bad and the president is good but the president got two vaccines yesterday, I wonder how long it will take before he is forced to wear high heels or starts collecting model trains or whatever they think vaccines do besides save lives

this might be strictly true (i’m too stupid to know), but negative prompts are a thing. don’t they work by building a second space around the negative prompts and subtracting it from the first, or something like that?

republicans understand the value of narrative and vision, and how they can be leveraged to change public opinion. most folks don’t have strong opinions about issues until someone crafts a story they can buy into.

“the system is fine” has been the Dem message my entire life, and it’s a loser

what if “believing in things” wasn’t naive, but actually core to doing good politics

I’m glad they’re doing it. Heightens the divide; makes it impossible for normie Dems not to recognize the establishment for the sellouts they are

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

Might feel like an inversion of the Civil War, but less than you might think. The federal government was thoroughly in the hands of the Slave Power in the 1850s. States resisted the Fugitive Slave Act; Dred Scott was SCOTUS. Secession happened b/c they wouldn't accept losing that control in 1860.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.
