Taylor Lorenz said WHAT about 9/11???

The gerontocracy has consequences, episode one million and three.

if the democratic party wasn’t a gerontocracy this would have failed. gerry connelly staying in office til he died allowed this to pass. this is echoes of RBG not retiring. when will democrats fucking learn

This is bleak reading

the democratic party got a single gen z representative with david hogg and he started actually representing the resentment young generations have to old and weak democratic leadership and canned him. pathetic. this party will genuinely never change and keep losing to republicans. bleak

the results Chotiner gets (like Mehdi Hasan) from simply a) doing his homework and b) asking follow-up questions rather than accepting deflections are remarkable - but also a testament to how much U.S. interviewers normally defer to power

I think of this as 'everything is comms' disease. This interview looked awful because the policy is, in fact, awful. You can't do an interview about it and come across well unless your interlocutor is under-prepared!

The way this commonly shakes out is you see a sentence that describes a finding unique to a particular study followed by (Author) or (Citation withheld for blind review). And this is somehow de-identifying?!?!?!? Make it make sense

I don’t know what journal editors are out there telling authors to remove references to their own work by replacing the in-text citation with (Author) but they need to be launched into the sun, it’s bad practice and makes the author more likely to be identified

at this point amy schumer would be a better minority leader

The hypocrisy is so glaringly obvious and yet it's still worth calling it out:

Most notable line in Dodds’ resignation letter might be this: “I also expected we would collectively discuss our fiscal rules and approach to taxation”.

First public cabinet dissent on economic policy.
