What’s really funny about the Bluesky Nate Silver hate, besides the problem with inability to handle critique, is how much everyone will be glued to his poll averages next year and in 28.

When I was a child I thought as a child and spoke as a child and loved Transformers more than anything.
Then I became a man and put away childish things and realized GI Joe was actually the best all along.

Everytime one of Trumps master plans for dodging guilt or comeuppance becomes apparent I feel like Spike in Buffy when he first saw the inner workings of the Scoobies.

I don’t know what anyone expected. Half this place has been attacking Matt Y the last 3 days for saying the same thing.
Genuinely read your original post as "if you want to be influential in commentary, you need to meet people where they are and it's insufficient to silo yourself to one place."

I think his complaint is that there are people who believe things regardless of whether they are true and will not take changing facts into account if they don’t fit prior beliefs which ultimately produces bad or no policy
like his complaint is literally that there are people who believe in things, believe those things are right, and believe in those things regardless of whether they are popular.

The problem with this is thinking of higher education as specifically for high level job training. That definitely can come out of it but that’s not the entire point of it. It’s not called Professional Skills Training, it’s called Higher Education.
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

People want to hate on Ella McKay but looking at James L Brooks who created The Mary Tyler Moore show in 1970 and wrote his first film in 1979 still making studio films in the year of our lord 2025 gives me some hope.

I don’t think Cuellar should have gotten pardoned, he obviously has real corruption problems, but the fact that he didn’t switch parties and add another Texas R seat as Trump obviously wanted is objectively hilarious.

I cannot think of anything more exhausting than looking up and keeping track of other people’s likes and activity on social media. Why do that to yourself?

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
