Right now Travis Kelce is scratching this off his, "how not to get Taylor back after I fuck up" list.

I sometimes think the WaPo editorial board is just Bezos and a bunch of sock puppets.
Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post is now saying Trump is right to roll back climate science and pollution protections at the EPA.

Do you think these guys compare shades of spray tan like the guys compared business cards in American Psycho?
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

This is why Millennials and Zoomers have such hard time understanding GenX. Politics weren't that polarizing in the 80's or 90's. Until the Tea Party started, leading us to MAGA we all thought we could get along.
Beyonce and Ricky Martin performed at Bush's 2000 inaugural is a thing I think about a lot when considering how much more culturally isolated and extreme the right has become.

Don't forget the racism, they like the racism too.
libertarians liked trump because, as a political movement obsessed with age of consent laws, they found a degenerate pedophile relatable

yep, half of Reason magazine went full MAGA in 2016. I cancelled my sub. The only reason they recently changed their minds are the reckless tariffs and the realization that Trump is coming for everyone he doesn't like. He has no adherence to any principle outside of Trump is always right.
I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind.

This is a great read. I've watched this in real-time in the pages of Reason magazine. Noah though, is a chowder head. He's ChatGPT in human form. His ideas formed from whatever the last internet search he did, all coalesced around vibes. Like a stopped clock he's only correct by happenstance.
If libertarianism is to ever become a force for genuine freedom, it must recommit to liberty as its highest value—not reflexive rejection of the state, but principled commitment to liberating individuals from all forms of coercion, public and private alike.
To Fight Authoritarianism, Libertarians Need to be More Pro-Liberty, Not Just Anti-State
Blogger Noah Smith’s praise for libertarianism comes at an odd time but offers an opportunity to clarify the side that has contributed to human freedom and flourishing

The RW turning politics into all cultural issues instead of policy has been a disaster. Even as malleable as cultural issues are they don't change because of an election. People don't wake up the next day and decide to be anti-whatever or pro this new thing because MAGA people control the machine.
I don’t think this was just the media. soooo many people basically developed and never updated a view of the election and what it meant culturally when there was like some 15 million votes to be counted
The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

The inability of our elites to call out the most obvious cause of the malaise of the last 10 years is probably the biggest failure we will witness in our lifetimes and a generation is being created that will rightfully despise them.
We're up to the fifth Olympics in a row where Americans who loudly proclaim themselves "patriots" denigrate rather than cheer on US Olympic athletes because Olympic athletes tend to be diverse and generally positive about diversity.
The president is now attacking a US Olympian as a “Loser” and misrepresenting his words for his mild unspecified criticisms about things going on in the US right now.

The "fairness doctrine" we really need is for every segment the news media shows about "cities burning" they need a segment of how it's not. They've been doing this for decades and it's poisoned the minds of people who never leave their neighborhood.
They keep saying that cities are burning, and they are not.
Rep. Tony Gonzales on Minnesota: "The problem is you've got so many local municipalities that don't want to work together. And when that happens, your city burns."

And guys like Josh Barro admire the psychopathy and wish they too could use it to their advantage.
Apparently contrary view of mine: The trait that makes billionaires exceptional is not intelligence. It’s psychopathy.
Lots of people are as skilled as Mark Zuckerberg.
But few are willing to just ignore all privacy principles to fuck their entire userbase, and their country, for money.

For anyone who needs to hear a song about rainbows right now.
And a note to consider - The Muppets are not any one thing. When handled properly, they are capable of a rainbow of emotions, from base comedy to sublime sincerity, and creatives would do well to embrace that full and glorious spectrum.

Trump lost all presumption of good faith with the "grab em by the p@ssy" tape. More people should have listened to him telling us if you have power you can do whatever you like. A lot of suffering could have been avoided.
my position is simultaneously that (a) the default presumption of good faith is of vital importance to any society I would ever want to live in, and (b) come the fuck on

Good read. I notice with the conservative/libertarian "think tanks" they bundle their religious/societal views with their economic views making them distasteful to the center/left. If they would remove the ties maybe we could get some things done. Too bad MAGA has corrupted the GOP.
Cass rightly recommends:
- curtail the riskiest and most convoluted financial activities
- stop giving companies a tax advantage for carrying more debt
- impose a transaction tax to disincentivize high frequency trading
- put workers ahead of lenders for compensation during bankruptcies

His "welfare queens" comment was a sign of solidarity.
Mostly I’ll remember Reagan for his advocacy for gay marriage and trans rights
It just feels that when people say things like that they're trying to say "oh, Reagan's views would fit right into the Democratic Party today" which is total nonsense. It's like the whole "Democrats would be right-wing in Europe" and shit like that. Internent folk belief!

It was rated R and in 1982 the generation most likely to want to see it, Gen-X, wasn't old enough. We all watched it a few years later as cable starting rolling out across the country.
Watched it again and was gonna post exactly this and had an inkling I was repeating myself and well yes.
Rewatching The Thing now, and how this goddamn masterpiece bombed at the time both critically and at the box office is one of Hollywood’s biggest mysteries.

💯It's going to take both because the current crop of Dems believe they can return everything to the way it was.
maybe we can eventually make structural reforms that allow the American political system to function, at a practical level, with more than two parties
but that, too, will require electing Better Democrats
