oh god, of course Ross Douthat wrote it.

Ask folks in Lenore, NC how things turned out after Google opened a data center there. Most of the jobs were filled by techs and other engineers from the myriad of data centers in the Atlanta area.

Why does he look like he's about to fall asleep? Is it past his nap time?
August 22, 2025 at 5:50 PM
Did he just admit to be a witness to a kidnapping? did he report this? Just asking questions.

Are you all still certain that Maxwell is alive? It'd be pretty convenient for certain folks if she committed "suicide" in her cell like Epstein, wouldn't it?

says the Nazi being interviewed!
July 29, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Yep! Every. damn. day! And three times on Sunday!

Yes, but the dude has a grey beard, so obviously he must be wise and not lying.

I don't disagree. But, I also think at some point she is going to die by falling out of a window. Or an open elevator shaft. #insurance
July 25, 2025 at 6:05 PM
how long until she dies by "falling" out of an open window?
July 25, 2025 at 3:49 PM
What are the odds that she ends up dying by falling out of a jail cell window? Or an open elevator shaft? Or by "suicide"?

Indeed! I go back periodically and watch clips from BS performances in the 70s. You can tell he was so high. Amazing that he made it out of that decade even!

are you saying that Murdoch will die by falling out of a hospital window? or down an open elevator shaft?
July 21, 2025 at 7:58 PM
And then you have the NYT giving Ross Douthat a platform so he can interview...Peter Thiel!!!!

No, we shouldn't be advancing any kind of "AI dominance". AI--or what the tech bros are pushing as "AI"--is actually just statistics. Which, we've been doing for a long time! Businesses lie all the time about the features/benefits of their products. The government should not be aiding/abetting them.
July 16, 2025 at 2:04 PM
Has he seen the code generated by AI?

OMG! Thank you! I started reading this piece this morning and couldn't finish it. I was like, WTF?! I thought maybe he auditioning to lick Jake Tapper's boots or something.

I cancelled my NYT subscription. Tired of reading right-wing "thinkers" like Ross Douthat interviewing the Peter Thiels of the world.

Also, why do people have to create an account on X to get updates? Shouldn't the primary source of info be from the agency's own website?!?!

How does she sleep at night?!
July 7, 2025 at 10:24 PM
but, but...COMMUNISM! SOCIALISM!
July 5, 2025 at 5:19 PM
Why does this sound familiar? Oh right, "the welfare queen!" Remember that one!
July 3, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Yep. I commuted into Manhattan for a job on NJTransit in the aftermath of Christie's choice. You could see the degredation of the train system in real-time as the years went on. Delays. Cancellations. Trains stuck in the tunnels. Portal bridge stuck open. It was all so stupid and avoidable.
July 2, 2025 at 5:11 PM
I might be misremembering. At this point, my anger over the whole thing clouds my memory.
July 2, 2025 at 5:04 PM
Wouldn't this have already been completed (in 2018?) had Christie not cancelled the initial project in 2010? Here it is 15 years later and it's JUST NOW getting (re)started. Good thing he was looking out for the taxpayers of NJ.
