Jesus Christ, this is the most self-important, overtly assholish email I’ve ever read.
Also, I love that ending line “Merry Christmas- and thank you, especially, to everyone who is working over this holiday.”
After that email, it reads as “get to work lazy bums, how dare you take time off.”

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.
Vance's latest rant has set off another misguided round of "free Usha" rhetoric. This isn't just inaccurate--she's wholly a part of this fascist project--it's dangerous. We can no longer afford to imagine fascism as smaller than it is. Hindu fascism is vast, too. No religion is immune.

One big difference between the 1960s and now is that the state was doing stuff. It was building, developing, improving. Councils were building houses, track was being laid. There was a sense that stuff could be done. And now doing stuff is impossible and illegal, nothing is affordable.
what is the centrist obsession with insisting we're all richer than in the 60s lol. & how is this gonna save liberal democracy exactly
also whats the special brain compartment that enables them all to ignore the price of an house as a multiple of average incomes (whichever average you use) or

Americans in their 20s and 30s may not feel that they’re richer than their equivalents 60 years ago, but they’re objectively wrong.
It’s fascinating how important it is to some people not to say “I’m struggling, it’s hard” or “I need help”—objectively true—but to instead insist they have it worse.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.

I make more money than either of my parents ever did and it all goes to rent, healthcare, and debt
It's unquestionable that young people today are richer than their 1960s counterparts, but the big difference in precarity. A good job requires living in a metro area with a housing shortage. A child requires an even more expensive home in a functional school district. A college degree requires debt.

We said for years: don't normalise having these "debates" about trans people and immigrants. Everyone thought they knew better. And now it's absolutely normal to say trans people are deviants and immigrants are subhuman, and we're having debates about whether women can vote.
None of this is “good faith political debate,” and it’s not a coincidence that all these outlets are suddenly interested in the same “discussion” at the same time.
Treating women’s humanity like a thought exercise makes it that much easier to legislate away

It's good to be friends with a person. Life is good when you have friends.
The cultural obsession with the friend zone was such a warning flag for the hell we are in, in hindsight
What do you mean you made up a negative term for when a woman goes "hey I like you a lot and want to keep you in my life, I just have no interest in having sex"

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
