people on the left like to talk about how Trumpism is a result of the failures of neoliberalism, and while that's not-not accurate, the case is far less tortured that it's a result of the failures of neoconservatism and the GFC/GWOT
Trump as populist is a product of the Bush administration's *failures*, not its successes bsky.app/profile/jsam...
Reagan and Bush were necessary but not sufficient to produce Trump.

Saka was an unused sub in the 2020 FA Cup final when he was two months older than Nwaneri is now.
Nwaneri will turn 19 in March and already has more Arsenal appearances (50) than Saka (42) when he turned 19.
Nwaneri has much more competition than Saka had.
There's nothing to be concerned about.

Shout out to the West’s favorite African, our brilliant boy (who only spent one miserable year in Rome), the man whose posts we all live under. Unlike some on this list, he didn’t need Hollywood to help.

one of my favorite stories this year is that buc-ee's tried to build a gas station in a town in Colorado and it's caused so many scandals that the town of like 3,000 people's government just can't function: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
Buc-ee's wants to come to town. It's thrown the local government into chaos.
Who knew a Buc-ee's could destabilize the government of a small town in Colorado?

if you are one of said commentators in academia or journalism, you should perhaps reflect on what it says about the relative success and effectiveness of your project of critique that deliberately pretending to be the thing that you breathlessly accused people of being is a viable PR strategy

the anti-semitic Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories spreading like wildfire seems to have sparked a genuine panic among MAGA conservatives that the brand has turned so rancid, combined with, by and large, a complete inability to acknowledge that this was an inevitable result of the movement.

I’m guessing they don’t have anything too damning on Clinton (unless it’s evidence that Trump appears in as well), because the fat mob boss wouldn’t have been able to hold himself back from releasing it the second he saw it.

Bari Weiss probably could have gotten away with glazing the regime in facially benign ways (e.g. the Erika Kirk obsession) but cancelling stories is the one thing you can't get away with because it threatens the most important thing to journalists: attention
