The most significant battles that the Trump regime has won have been against corporations, institutions, billionaires, and elites — the “chickenshit,” in journalist Adam Serwer’s words, worse than mere cowards. “Acts of cowardice can be provoked by genuine danger — think of a deserting soldier fleeing the peril of the battlefield,” he writes. “When you’re chickenshit, you capitulate to avoid the mere possibility of discomfort, let alone something resembling real risk.”

screen shot of an interview between (unidentified) nick quah and ari shapiro, bold text first (nick) followed by unbold (ari): “BOLD I’m curious about what you think of Berliner’s actual arguments. / BOLD I thought there were a lot of factually false statements in it that could easily be disproven. In fact, some of my colleagues did go through point-by-point and say, “this is not accurate, this is not accurate.” He reached a conclusion he clearly believed in, but I don’t think the evidence is there to support the conclusion he reached. I think it was the Washington Post that noted the last time NPR had to fully retract a story because it was so far removed from the facts, Uri Berliner was the lead editor. So I’ll give the guy this much. At least he’s consistent.”

i will say this — it takes a real asshat to get the calm, collected and cordial @ari-shapiro.bsky.social to be this publicly cutting (via @nwquah.bsky.social intw // @vulture.com)

advice to young writers:

- begin the first sentence of every paragraph with, "So basically the whole deal is, is that [...]"
- begin subsequent sentences with, "And plus, [...]"
- end every paragraph with, "So that basically wraps it up as far as all that goes."
- 4 blank lines between paragraphs
