Accepting the Paradox of Intolerance as concept means that you draw a moral line. When jokers start working the refs or trying to elide the seriousness of their rhetoric, you gotta cast them out. They’re never serious and only ever want control.
The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Oh, I'm sorry. We only ask those questions when Democrats are proposing policies that benefit left-coded constituencies.

Next Dem president might be tempted to look into the funding for Vought’s Center for Renewing America to see if there was some oil industry patronage involved.

At some point you realize that the prominent, powerful people you see on your screens are mostly morons who either got lucky or are saying things billionaires want to hear, and that nobody smart or competent is in charge, and we're all just collectively flailing, and it's a miracle anything works.

These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.
MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.
