I'd love to see Brian "don't turn this rape into a murder" Mast gone. Mills obviously too.

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Huntington's argument is specific to US.

Sam Huntington: In US liberals are the conservatives and conservatives are weirdo cranks.

Two arms clasping: Andrew Tate and Theobros

I always assume they mean passing off your wife as your sister so you can pimp her.

I only drink rainwater and pure-grain alcohol.

“I can’t sleep because of our own situation,” Ms. Uccello, 49, said over coffee on a recent afternoon. “I can’t sleep because of what I know what’s happening around the world. I can’t sleep because my former colleagues and friends are also suffering.”

How I became MAGA usually starts with a story like this.

"You can't criminalize political disagreements."

My dearest political belief is: "I should be allowed to do crimes."

Inside the DOGE Takeover of the Federal Government In early 2025, Americans first learned about the takeover of the federal government by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE had been operating under a veil of secrecy, with l...

"This impressive, continuing coverage exemplifies investigative reporting at its best."

WIRED won the Hillman Prize for our coverage of DOGE's takeover of the federal government! I'm so so proud of our team, and so honored!

It's interesting that Vance quoted him "the professors are the enemy" since he converses with a lot of neo nazis on the internet also.

I love it when people develop comprehensive diagnosis out of anecdote:

One time my sons didn’t answer my texts and I see the collapse of filial piety

British universities paid security firm to ‘spy’ on pro-Palestine students Investigation reveals how Horus, a company led by ex-military intelligence officials, was hired during protest movement.

As a thought experiment, imagine what the reaction would be if universities paid a security firm to monitor “gender critical” groups. The “free speech czar” Arif Ahmed would be all over it and Toby Young would be issuing press releases
