Look at this ad y'all. They literally got a black girl baby on one end and a white boy baby on the other end. Not subtle!
I saw this ad on the train and I’m curious how yall feel about it… I’m very much in the center, but slightly more towards than against…

There's that old line about Antisemitism is "the socialism of fools." One might say that in the US, anti-government conspiracy theories have often functioned as both "the socialism of fools" and "the fascism of fools." They work like cultural a magnet holding a weak red-brown alliance together.

The kindest version of Yglesias’ hallucinatory reading of American politics would see a Democratic Party torn between LIBERAL egalitarians and liberal EGALITARIANS but that is not what we see in reality.

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

"The report has no answer to the media ownership problem. It doesn’t even raise it as a question. It includes pages upon pages bemoaning the Democratic Party’s messaging woes, without ever considering that the problem might be that its opponents have access to much larger megaphones."
My favorite thing as a writer is when I start ranting about something on Bluesky, get it all out of my system, and then turn it into a real piece of writing.
On that note: hey, it’s me, heckling centrist Dems in the New Republic!

"If you want access to [the attention economy], you better get comfortable making lowest-common-denominator bullshit in front of a camera. And, of course, it’s a lot easier to feel good about doing that if you’re an idiot."
The Trump admin is fully powered by the attention economy. A universe of dumbasess talking to other dumbasess, built on the assumption our tastes have grown so rotten and atrophied that we can't even remember a world where we weren't inundated by worthless slop.
