She was a genius at what she did. RIP.

Catherine O’Hara was an absolute comic genius. Just so sharp and always calibrated perfectly to the moment.

However the @nytimes.com insisted keeping the algorithm that cranks out 90% of Brooks' tedious, awful, "Both Sides Do It" columns.
david brooks has been a hack for decades who has written column after column at ny times that was eviscerated the moment they hit "publish." -- he has been awarded with a plum contract at the atlantic. because in the world of the media, nothing fails upwards like a conservative straight white man.

🧵 The people of Minnesota, especially Renee Good and Alex Pretti, have shown that American democracy still has a lot of strength left within it.
But the battle is far from over. The US is in a liminal moment, a time of transition. We can do this, but there's much to know and to do.

I think at least 90% of Republican voters believe this. As Big Lies go, it's practically replaced "Trump won in 2020."
Trump as his speech is interrupted by a demonstrator: "You do know they are paid agitators, right? They get paid. These are all paid agitators, that's all they are. They get paid. They're paid insurrectionists. They're sickos."

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

The story is not that there are two conflicting versions of what happened.
The story is that the federal government is lying about what happened.
There is plenty of evidence.
Your job, our job, is to sift that evidence and describe what actually happened ffs.
