pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Of all the shitty assholes inexplicably given positions of power and influence in liberal institutions for decades, Larry Summers is certainly one of the dumbest.

The absolute worst part of my previous job was when @willharrisinva.bsky.social would file an 8,000-word interview, I would go in intending to give it a ruthless edit, and somehow I couldn’t find anything to cut.
Will is a GOAT-level interviewer. Listen to his podcast.

Given that this podcast has only been in existence for a few days, what's it gonna hurt to drop two episodes during the first week? So here's Ep. 2 of "Letting Them Talk with Will Harris," wherein I let Mitch Easter talk.

Because this podcast is new enough that it can't hurt to drop two episodes during its first week of existence.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

What’s more impressive to the NYT’s political numbers guy: winning a VA gubernatorial race by 2 points with 3.3.M turnout, or winning a VA gubernatorial race by 14 points with 3.4M turnout? The answer may surprise you…

Just to be clear, this was the *only* thing on the CA ballot. There was no reason to return your ballot except to vote on this.
Holy shit, the Prop 50 turnout was massive! NYT projecting 10.6 million votes, CA GOV 2022 was 10.9M votes.

I attended my first Dodger game as a little kid in the first night of the LA riots.
It’s genuinely astonishing how normal it’s become since then to see video of cops openly clubbing people, on camera, in situations where no crimes are being committed and they’re in no personal danger whatsoever.

If I’m ever named publisher of the NYT due to some hilarious probate court mix-up, one of my Day One policies will be an automatic additional round of edits for any article that mentions an Ivy League university, to be conducted by myself.
This is an absolutely incredible thing to say. As someone in Ivy-ish (Duke) classrooms from 2016-2022… I call bull.

One of the great joys of marrying into a very large, close-knit family was having an ever-expanding group of people start referring to me as “tío.”
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.
Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

I used to date a girl from San Jose, whose mom had a consulting business specifically dedicated to training tech guys and startup founders on how to not be off-putting to their employees and colleagues. It was a great idea — the hard part was convincing these guys that they needed it.
That people like working with you is a skill I see many technical people ignore yet it is often the biggest thing holding them back in their careers.

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

What a timely reminder that it’s good to be reasonably skeptical of candidates for higher office — even the initially charming, outsidery ones — and that the best time to scrutinize them is before they’ve won a primary, and definitely before they’re serving a six-year term.
Fetterman describes Trump trying to steal $230 million from taxpayers as "small ball, and I think we have much bigger problems than worrying about those things."

“Days after posting a video of himself dropping excrement on Americans from a fighter jet while wearing a crown, President Trump began the unannounced demolition of the White House” would be a 100% accurate lede for a news story, and I’m not sure why anyone would pass up a chance to write that.
