Okay, I didn't have evidence (wasn't following that closely) that Bari Weiss is a tool. Now I know that Bari Weiss is a tool.

Absolutely none whatsoever. Mid-20th century insurance markets are much more edifying.

And I think Savage (not Douthat) would argue you're underappreciated his intergenerational claim. That young white men were disproportionately underhired because older white men were safe. This is as much a Boomers/GenX vs Millennials gripe as a DEI gripe.

I think his reply is going to be that you're begging the question on the effects of centuries of discrimination. There's a reason the contemporary right is genetics and IQ-obsessed. They're looking for explanations for observed inequality.

Lemme get this straight. The SAME people who once would go off about *systemic* discrimination and *unfairness* now believe lock, stock and barrel that the post 2014 hiring landscape was completely fair???

I know, right? They should be thankful that they were shoved out of declining industries. Hollywood, academia, and journalism have all been decimated.

This is why we're exiled to BlueSky. Saying the same incantations that lost two elections.

I miss the days when *religion* was the opium of the people and not sports betting. At least you could organize.

What on earth. I have no interest in "losing well", in being sacred and pure martyrs. I'm glad TNC gets to disappear into his comics and his French vacations. But others might want more practical political leadership to live better. Holy martyrs is how you lose to Hegseth and Trump.

I don't see why people don't get it. We already *have* socialized housing. And it's led to housing shortages.

I want to point out that the entire internet has been like catnip for people with paranoid or delusive tendencies. We even get massive group delusions out of it. These technologies are too powerful not to be harmful to someone.

This is just absolutely not true. "Tech companies ... designing these tools to be geared towards truth, merely towards engagement and profit." This is confusing the LLM training and the TikTok feed. Here's an OpenAI paper trying to end hallucination. arxiv.org/pdf/2509.04664
