in your 20s, you'll come across someone who's wrong online. it's very important than you spend the next 40 years of your life learning and arguing about this topic online long after they've moved on, built a career, and raised a family.

The leadership of the @nytimes.com broadly agrees with Chris Rufo that the existence of "woke" students, professors, and institutions is an affront to society which needs to be dismantled by state coercion.

This is, ironically, very obvious, but also politically incorrect to talk about in public.
The article accepts the idea that New College was a liberal enclave, and what is happening now is a rebalancing. I think this view is fundamentally wrong, embracing the assumptions of those who see their job as to save campuses from liberalism by any means necessary.

Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.

We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.
Trump looked pretty rough today -- note that both of his hands are discolored

Trump had Mike Johnson remove Turner as House Intel Chair because he was perceived as too sympathetic to Ukraine. Turner was upset at the time and called it out. But now he’s a completely broken and beaten man. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

RFK Jr and Trump rolled back a Biden regulation that required nursing care homes that received Medicare and Medicaid payments to have a registered nurse on site 24/7.

Effective January 1st — those rules no longer apply.

So choose carefully when making medical care decisions for your loved ones.

Cas Mudde spells out what has become largely the consensus among researchers: moving right on immigration will not weaken the far right nor strengthen social democracy. If your reaction is "but in Denmark" please at least familiarize yourself with Danish politics

I held back further criticism on it for a few more days because she had asked. It was an absolutely scummy thing to do to take advantage of me trying to meet with her in good faith and then her never actually meeting. I still think she's the wrong person at the wrong time to represent our community.

Sarah McBride reached out to me in August through an intermediary to ask me to tone down the criticism of her after this post because it was her birthday. She also wanted to meet with me to discuss the issue. She asked for my availability. I sent my calendly and she never booked a meeting.
Sarah McBride's first bill is a handout to billionaires running private equity funds who want to fleece retail investors.

Sucking up to private equity billionaires won't save you.

It’s always great to see the orange felon being booed everywhere he goes, especially when the boos are thunderous like those he received at the US Open men’s final in New York. He should be in jail, not watching tennis whilst destroying the country.

Comedian George Wallace and Jerry Seinfeld were roommates for 13 years.

This softens my stance on Jerry Seinfeld somewhat.

Not much, but this really is cool

It’s that time of year again. Back to school for the kids.

This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every “Friday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.

Trump won’t do shit because he’s Putin’s Bitch and Republicans in Congress are Putin’s Bitch Enablers. None of this is possible without weak Republicans in Congress who are afraid to call him out clearly and directly and instead post weak ass shit on social media.

America voluntarily destroyed itself in the dumbest way possible. It's so painful and also darkly comic. I mean, it's just remarkable how the most incompetent and reckless people were elected.

What else did people expect?

All of this could have been avoided.

Alas. We're in it, friends.
