The early blogger era was so strange. Like Julie & Julia becoming a bestseller, let alone a major motion picture, when it would just have been a brief influencer fad today.
And how the author so completely overestimated the hunger for more Julie when the appeal was Julia all along.

the refusal of center left institutional types to recognize that sometimes they're the ones who have to compromise in an election makes me really mad
the people who I find myself allied with when they're right about electoral compromise won't do it when the shoe is on the other foot

just extremely strange that poll guys believe that changes in public opinion are driven by absolutely nothing whatsoever; they're just organic fluctuations in some sort of ideological substrate which human action cannot perturb

I cannot understate the actively evil role Peter Baker has played in the last decade of politics. If it emerged that he was a Republican operative all along, his journalistic decisions would make a great deal more sense
“Audacious.” What the fuck are these people doing.

You were practically the house philosopher of the Harris campaign, they did all the stuff you like and they ate shit. You’ve been wrong about everything for the past 4 years. I don’t think anyone should ever need to hear from you again.
I’m committed to posting on BlueSky because I do think it’s important for progressive intellectuals to hear from someone who is outside the left-most 90% of the population.
Something I see over and over again is a desire to unlock some semiotic key that will “disqualify” Republicans.

Propaganda works better by presenting it in a non-political context. Audiences absorb the lies because they don't have their defenses up like they do when hearing explicitly political messages

Okay, a thread to talk about the Discourse Punditry Brigade.
The very short version of this thread: 𝙬𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚.
Why? Because talking about these people is entirely the whole reason why these people are relevant.

Under Biden, favorable views of the Democratic Party have dropped to an all-time low. But for Biden and his defenders, public perception is out of sync with the objective facts; the American people are simply wrong, and don’t know what’s good for them. www.currentaffairs.org/news/joe-bid...
Joe Biden's Legacy of Failure, Hypocrisy, and Murder
The outgoing president badly wants to be remembered as a good man who tried his best. Pity it’s not true.
