The lesson of Merrick Garland, Fani Willis, and Chuck Schumer is you just have to have people in positions of authority that are effective.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work
the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse

Trends that to me all seem related:
-There are a huge number of households earning $100k+ and/or with $1M+ net worths
-We have not increased the supply of goods (housing, elite higher ed, Disney/Vegas) to meet this wealth
-Hiring is weak, especially for young people
-Those without money are YOLOing

I'm not even joking when I say a Dem should run on this message
I put in my own order for food, I scan and bag my own groceries, I scroll past 30 fake products on Amazon to find the one I actually searched for and when exactly is any of this doing any good for anyone who actually works for a living?

I appreciate that the streaming rules are different and execs are gonna exec, but the phrase "Paramount+ felt that we had sort of exhausted the appetite for Strange New Worlds after [Season 4]" is complete nonsense, since season 3 and 4 haven't even aired yet.

Living standards are dramatically higher than in the latter 20th century and this kind of miserable, fact-free doomerism is a primary cause of the mess we’re in
Liberals are losing public trust because, in spite of promises to make life better for the middle class, almost everyone intuitively knows living standards won’t return to what they were in the latter 20th century
Liberals can’t promise most of these. But we can promise purposeful struggle for higher values against an insidious and evil enemy: the fascists themselves

In a post-tariff, post-TCJA 2.0 world with higher interest rates and deficits, it's looking pretty difficult for non-college and younger Americans, but I don't think any of progressives, institutional Democrats, or MAGA Republicans have good policy answers at the moment. We need something new.
ive become pretty radicalized but in ways that probably dont make much sense along most loudly described political axes.
in any event, ill start writing about it soon enough

In all seriousness, there is remarkable little self radicalization occurring. Everyone acts as if they’re in a disassociative spell, that some reality will magically set in. No, reality is now. Reality is happening. You should start writing as if that were the case because it is the case.

Not sure there's a more apt metaphor for the failures of gerontocracy than the stakes of a must-pass bill, pursued by a majority with a razor-thin margin, that suddenly gets a bit of breathing room because a member of the opposition (who ran for reelection with cancer) dies in office. My condolences

I think one of the hardest things about aging is the work it takes to not calcify your own history into legend. If you want to stay youthful in your outlook, you have to stay loose with your own backstory when every self-preservation instinct is to rewrite it into something more epic or flattering
One of the freakiest real-life experiences you can have is bringing up a crucial formative experience around friends & family and finding out every single one of them remembers it differently from you, and that you may have been living off a fake foundational memory all your life
