good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein
The media has spent the last few months trying to make sense out of nonsense, attempting to conjure motive, manifesto, and meaning out of the dumbest shit scrawled onto bullets. These were sad attempts to impose meaning on an increasingly incoherent world by a literati that has not yet accepted its irrelevance in a postliterate society. But the most humiliating display of literate obliviousness in the face of the total collapse of meaning, however, was Ezra Klein's bizarre eulogy to Charlie Kirk. The now-infamous column ("Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way") can best be understood as an expression of class solidarity. Klein, I would argue, sees both himself and Kirk as being Debate Guys, wordcels who engage in the marketplace of ideas and let speech sort itself out into political action. Kirk did not commit violence, not because he abhorred it, but because committing violence was someone else's job. Last year, he called for using whips against migrants, saying, "Of course you should be able to use whips against foreigners that are coming into your country. Why is that controversial?" In early June of this year, as the president deployed troops to Los Angeles, Kirk publicly advocated for invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to crush the immigration protests. And in August, he called for "federalizing" the district of Columbia, saying, "Roll in the tanks, bring in the military." With his close relationship to the commander in chief of the United States of America, Charlie Kirk was no mere talker, idea-peddler, or purveyor of discourse. He built an empire on legitimizing violence and harvesting the enthusiasm and glee around it. Even before his death became a pretext to enact violence on American cities, he had already substantively shaped history. Charlie Kirk was a part of the real world in a way that Ezra Klein will never be.

Brendel: Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn't understand normal sane Americans crave" and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like "Leprechauns are real and I'm going to cook one"

in the ongoing “wow these sure are some takes, huh?” sweepstakes, I love it when people who ‘love’ a romance about gay hockey players who are closeted in large part due to homophobic perceptions that being gay is fundamentally incompatible with their interests & careers reinforce that exact message

Weiss believes she is engaged in a game in which the point is self-aggrandizement, and that everyone else is involved in that same game, and she fundamentally cannot *understand* criticism on the grounds of integrity or virtue.

The most telling Bari Weiss incident came when "The Free Press" excused George Floyd's murder, @radleybalko.bsky.social highlighted factual errors, and Weiss's reaction was not to make corrections, but to invite Balko on a podcast.

There is no truth, there are no standards, there is only content.

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao
tweets from Kat Rosenfield that read "a related thought: it seems like the same things that make Trump an unsolvable problem also make him...weirdly boring to write about? he's like a natural disaster in human form; most interesting thing about him is how everyone deals with the carnage after he's been through" "this may be the answer to 99% of the questions about why I dont criticize Trump more in my work: critique requires some depth to plumb, but he doesn't have that, so all you can do is, like, describe the spectacle as if you're reporting the weather" "thinking about this more: on one hand of course the president has agency, every person does, AND YET, his blanked refusal to participate in moral and social frameworks -- which we cannot force him into -- means that functionally, practically, he also sort of doesn't"

Is it that difficult to conceive of someone with actual ideological commitments, who supports unions not for transactional reasons but because they genuinely believe in workers' power? nymag.com/intelligence...
Yet Mamdani is not acting like a mayor without debts. Even though he wasn’t supported by labor unions and many other left-leaning civic organizations in the primary, he had been their champion regardless. He didn’t get the teachers-union endorsement, but he still favored getting rid of mayoral control of schools, something mayors dating back to Bloomberg have fought vigorously for, since its alternative was an era of community school boards that was rife with dysfunction and graft and left a mayor powerless in the face of, for example, a bus-drivers strike. He wasn’t the first choice of the municipal-workers union but still pledged to oppose a proposal to switch city workers to a health plan that budget experts say is necessary to save the city $1 billion. He has called for 200,000 units of affordable housing to be built in the city, but despite not being endorsed by the building trades, he has said they should be built with union labor, which would drive up the cost of construction. (“He says he wants to build 200,000 units of affordable housing, all with union labor,” said one prominent developer. “I think he is going to be lucky to get 50.”) “It’s one of the strangest things I have seen,” said David Schleicher, a professor at Yale Law School and an expert on municipal policy. “He has no particular reason to follow the line of the teachers union or the building trades or any other union, but he seems to be doing it anyway.” It’s hard to shake the sense that Mamdani has come into office treating perceived ideological allies — including unions — as sacred, whether or not they’ve thrown their full support behind him.

Large caption at the top says "Tired of the same old angel and devil arguing on your shoulders? Why not mix it up with some new voices?" Inside a frame, a neurotic man in a suit is surrounded by small creatures giving him advice on an unspecified issue: Mr Sad: I think you should lay down for a really long time. Moral Mummy (a mummy): The only thing of essence is to return to my tomb what has been taken. The Absence: Right or wrong, your choices will be forgotten along with you, in the end. Gurt: Your enemies can't predict your behavior if your choices are abitrary. Old-timey Con-man: Hey, why not take their wallet while they ain't lookin? The man, excited by the options presented to him, says "wow, I've never been less sure what to do! I am in a prison of choice!"

Wait, it was EMIL BOVE who was told about the Tom Homan investigation during the transition?!?!?

www.ms.now/news/border-...
Dec. 30, 2025, 5:00 AM EST By Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian In early January, several days before Donald Trump's inauguration, a Justice Department lawyer passed an envelope across a wide desk to a top Trump transition official. Enclosed was a bombshell, typed up in a one-page summary, according to two people briefed on the meeting. As he read the contents of the envelope, the official, Emil Bove, closed his eyes and grimaced, according to the people, who requested anonymity to discuss a sensitive case. It revealed that Tom Homan - at that time, a frequent companion of Trump's on the campaign trail who had publicly boasted he would be joining Trump's administration to lead his immigrant deportation strategy - was the subject of an ongoing bribery investigation. Undercover FBI agents posing as private contractors had recorded him accepting $50,000 in cash in exchange for what they believed was Homan's vow to help get border enforcement contracts in the new Trump administration.
