We’ll never know, bc if this is an important issue it wouldn’t be #PayWalled.

#SlatePitches

A salute to you for actually reading the piece, rather than doing the Bluesky thing of reacting solely to a screenshot of the headline.

I gave it a shot, but about halfway through, it just sounded to much like one of those old #slatepitches, so I moved on.

Resurrection of #slatepitches!

#Slatepitches

Back in the day, this would have been one of the classic #slatepitches.

I guess we gotta bring back #slatepitches, huh

#Slatepitches get stitches

So, someone I've never heard of takes to an online platform to disparage a bunch of people whom I have heard of?

It might be time to resurrect that classic hashtag from eons ago: #slatepitches

Interesting on a #slatepitches level, but come on. Stop thinking Biden has infinite powers. The fiasco that is the attempt to hold Trump accountable is much more a consequence of our broken systems and the rabid weasels that the GOP has become.

Slate’s Contrarian Ways Mocked On Twitter The online magazine Slate is known for its particular brand of counter-intuitive argument. Everything you thought you knew is wrong, and Slate's often convincing stable of writers will show you the er...

This piece on #slatepitches is from 2009! Knee-jerk contrarianism certainly hasn't gotten any less dumb since then
