I guess what I’m getting at is we can all take this game too seriously. It is just a game, it is just here to tell us a story and make us feel something, and this World Series delivered narratively in a way that was so endlessly odd and entertaining. 10/10.

Having lived through this once (anti-gay rhetoric in the 80s), if you’re a young journalist going after the glory of a big story that’s actually just a front for bigotry, can I suggest you think about what the rest of your career looks like when this fever finally breaks?

I'm trying to weigh the possible reasons for the lessening of civility on planes between the people wearing their pajamas on planes and our current leader who wears a lot of suits and just told someone on a plane, "Quiet, Piggy!"
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

It remains hilarious to me that Ryan Lizza is seemingly oblivious to the fact that he, too, was just a creepy older man taking advantage of Olivia Nuzzi

I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

I'm sure it's a coincidence that a lot of these professions are female-dominated (because they generally fall under the "care-giving" umbrella)

Although Hollins is confident in his choices, he doesn’t judge others for theirs. Nor does he think everybody should adopt his regimen. To each his own, he says.

Being a Nazi or Klan member isn’t “politically divisive.”
It just means you’re a racist and bigoted POS, which I guess is what this regime is going for anyways.

I’m 20 years older than this little boy and I feel confident saying mom is just describing the combination of having ADHD and being alive

Buddy, I grew up rooting for chumps like Steve Garvey, John Stockton, and Karl Malone and I wouldn’t let any of them in my house now. Likewise dozens of PED-linked players I cheered for as an adult. I promise you I’m gonna be fine if Bill Clinton is led away in leg irons
I want to lay down a few markers here for folks as the clock starts ticking down to the release of the Epstein Files.
1) You are going to learn about a lot more disgusting and sickening things people said, joked about and maybe even did. You will likely be disappointed in someone you had admired

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics
It seems like all of the rich and powerful people around him patronizingly tolerated the race science stuff (“he has such an inquisitive and childlike mind”) in order to get access to his harem of underage sex slaves
The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

Honestly, one of the things that's most shocked me about the last 10 years is the revelation of how many highly-educated elite white men who self-identify as moderates, liberals, and/or Democrats, still seem to be 100% on board with race science and masculine superiority.
