Iowa hasn’t put nearly enough stress on Crooks when they have the ball. They put her in the screen and roll a couple of times but have mostly let her sit in the lane guarding someone who can’t shoot.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I think it's very annoying that by "tech" (see: techno-optimism) people only refer to the most recent, most hyped investment tool. So that if you don't buy the hype of the most recent bullshit, you're anti-tech. I'm not anti-food if I don't buy White Castle's new sliders, bro.

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

well you see, in "he said, she said" journalism, it's important to bury the truth halfway down the page in a quote by an activist or academic (if you mention it at all) as easily-dismissible opinion, otherwise Republicans will get mad and insist you aren't being fair and balanced
They should have worked this part into the headline:

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...
The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding
