It’s actually really good for a society to have a strong cancel culture for even the slightest whiff of eugenics or race science. We should bring that back, stronger.

The rightwing crusade to get Gay fired was the latest iteration of the eternal reactionary grievance campaign against higher education and a crucial battle in a much broader struggle aiming to extinguish whatever progress towards diversity and integration has been made.

Earlier this year, I retraced Christopher Rufo's rise in Seattle, and explored how he refined his tactics as a conservative influencer in one of the most liberal cities in the U.S.

If you're a mainstream outlet and you're being gamed this easily by a guy who is laying out his playbook days or months in advance, maybe the problem isn't the right-wing grifters.

Maybe the problem, after all, is the mainstream places that allow themselves to be gamed by carnies.

I went over to search for something on Twitter today.

I’ve lived in the same place most of my life. I’ve always wondered what people meant when they said “I went back to the old neighborhood, and I didn’t recognize a thing! It’s really fallen on hard times.”

Twitter has fallen on hard times.
