For a while, it was believed that women and gay men are born with a natural sense for aesthetics. In reality, straight men, particularly American male Protestants, have simply barred themselves from taking an interest in aesthetics because they think this makes them noble.

Mayor Brandon Scott appears to be doing something right, but somehow this remarkable, record setting decline in violence doesn't quite make national headlines the way the opposite does

One part that I like about Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's #Abundance argument is that we are looking for self-improving processes that deliver outcomes. When we miss outcomes, we need to look at the process and learn.

"Yes, Cuomo is awful, but I have some policy differences with the progressives, so this is hard."
This is not hard. What you do is, you set aside your precious little checklist, and YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THE AWFUL PERSON.

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”
"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
