Is Vance an opportunist? Yes, no doubt, but I think that there is a cohesive postliberal project that he is a part of, and the idea that he will moderate in power is not in line with the people he associates with

People who aspire to work in politics are forced to face a soul-crushing dilemma: Ate you in it to change the world or are you in it for a career?
Do you want to do the work more than you want the work to be meaningful?

the truly forbidden take is that the vibecession and by extension basically all negative economic sentiment since 2008 is probably just the middle class being jealous of their rich friends and not actual economic strife (outside of stuff like housing costs in cities)

“right wing populism” is novel as of 2012 because liberal political scientists needed to account for “left wing populism” a la occupy Wall Street and so on
The study of populism extends back to Adorno’s work about the authoritarian personality, which is to say: what accounts for fascism?

I'll go further and say that if you report the "Senate data" provision as being about Jack Smith you are actively lying to your readers. it is a bipartisan pro-corruption law that more or less confers immunity from corruption prosecutions on all 100 senators whether they want it or not.
this is being reported elsewhere as a sop to Republican senators angry about being investigated by Jack Smith but the language is honestly so much worse and so much broader than that.

Texas Hold 'em at the gay bar
as the husband of a mahjong addict, dudes need to identify an activity that can be done relatively easily in groups with minimal financial commitment so they can get out of the house for 2-3 hours on a school night, have two beers, and shoot the shit with their buddies.
It won't be mahjong tho.

The problem is that we do not know what will actually re-open after the shutdown—it’s much easier now to keep people out of work than it is to restart operations.
Okay so again, you gonna forgo your income for another 13 months?
Because you're asking me and a couple million of your fellow citizens to do that, and I don't think it's too much to ask for a plausible theory of victory aligned with that COA

The meaning of democracy is that the people rule. The American people do not rule; in fact, I think a lot of them suck. So it's not a democracy. It's only a democracy if the people are cool. This is why Saudi Arabia is democratising so quickly; it's because of air conditioning
