The night before I supposed to take the LSAT, I realized I didn’t want to be a lawyer. I skipped the test the next morning, realized I loved reading blogs, so I applied for a job at the ur-blog - Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish.
And that was it.

The Olivia Nuzzi Comeback Is Everything Wrong With Modern Media
Olivia Nuzzi’s comeback isn’t a personal scandal story—it’s proof that today’s media rewards access, personality, and controversy more than ethics.

Great reporting by @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social, but, wow, he offers disturbing evidence that the boundary between mainstream conservatism and right-wing extremism, which "has long been more porous than many think," has perhaps never been thinner.

Trump really shivved JD Vance when he endorsed Tucker's interview w/Nick Fuentes, who had been mocking Vance and making racist comments about his wife. Trump basically dumped the Fuentes mess on him.

When Trump blessed Tucker's interview with Nick Fuentes, he was acknowledging that the white nationalist constituency inside the MAGA coalition has grown too big to marginalize.

So @50501movement.bsky.social is circulating a video of a guy saying candidates "are being paid to be Israel first, to be loyal to the Zionist project and not to their constituents, not to the American people." Which is just a hairs breadth away from saying "Zionist Occupied Government." Not great!

really great piece by @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social about the moral rot that threatens to consume what’s left of the republican party and how it’s created chaos within one of MAGA’s most influential institutions.

If I ever do a second edition of my book, this quote should probably be an epigraph
This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:
Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.
