strike one trillion for the paper of record

biggest crowds I've ever seen in NYC too

they've also never figured out how to harmonize their argumentative approach with their esotericism. like we're not only supposed to believe Plato meant the opposite of what he wrote, but also, Plato's intellectual authority is supposed to survive this transmutation

hadn't seen the Dems new logo. a copyright symbol with a D instead of a C... I wonder how many millions they spent on *that*

to be clear, I do think they're stupid. as the news cycle is evolving, it seems that's probably what explains it. I was trying to warn against jumping to that conclusion too early -- eg, Trump has quite the vendetta against The Atlantic; that maybe they were trying to implicate Goldberg in something

good point. I guess my underlying sentiment is that we shouldn't be *too* quick to assume it's incompetence rather than something more nefarious. but your explanation makes sense

hmm yeah maybe so. In any other administration it would be very odd for a trade rep to be included in that kind of convo, but who knows with this one. I'll be curious to see how they respond to mounting anger over it

which invites the question: why?

I have to say, this whole thing seemed very sus to me, beyond incompetent. Like... even if they just accidentally added a number to a signal group, the chances of it being the literal editor in chief of the Atlantic are vanishingly small. It's being intentional seems like a much better explanation.

- A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally.
- A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool.
- A 26-year-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang.
- A barber whose family says he has no gang ties.
