becoming a vulgar rawlsian. the veil of ignorance isn't perfect, but 'is this how you would design things if *you* thought you might end up here?' is a test that way too many people fail. on everything from criminal justice to public transit, across the ideological spectrum.

The term that's needed to capture the point behind this satire is *proportionality.* If we analyze the pathologies of the present political agenda through the lens of political judgment, the problem is a systematic failure of opinion-makers to respond proportionally to the issues of the day.

Dan Ariely is, by any reasonable metric, a way more significant figure both within his discipline and in the culture at large than Jason Arday ever was

Maybe some of those "why are you campaigning with an antisemite?" questions could go to Republicans backed by a Sieg Heiling white nationalist. The silence is especially deafening because Musk's involvement helped Republicans lose in WI in 2025, so the press even has its preferred horserace frame.

many "centrists" agree with Cofnas and when they complain about "wokeness" and "political correctness" they often mean that they are not allowed to express this stupid idea — that black people in smart-guy jobs shouldn't be there and should be like, sprinters and jazz musicians instead — explicitly

I think part of the pundit crack-up has been that they missed the big call of their lifetimes about which was the bigger threat to America: wokeness or authoritarianism. And rather than admitting that, they are doubling down on wokeness, while ignoring an authoritarianism that does not threaten them

In dishonor of Ross Douthat's last NYT column, I'm breaking my self-imposed ban on reading him—smug bad faith, whiny victimization, and steadfast refusal to let evidence affect opinion—and will screenshot and comment. This is the column if you want to read it yourself (I don't recommend it). 1/x

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

My column this week. Alabamians often dismiss the bile that comes out of some of our leaders' mouths as performative, or grimly funny. Don't do that with Tommy Tuberville's recent threats against Muslims. He's already signaled that he views many Alabamians as dangers, simply for who they are.

The @nytimes.com spent weeks on that story because their leadership fundamentally agreed with Chris Rufo that it was insulting that a Black woman led Harvard. We're all supposed to pretend that's not obviously the case, but c'mon. Let's not be stupider than we have to be.

The mainstream press viewpoint is that no one mainstream is racist, and therefore, as ideas approach the mainstream, they become less racist

These efforts were discussed endlessly in the nation's most prestigious publications. They were compared to McCarthyism, Stalinism, the Salem witch trials. College activists were framed as an existential threat against which the population required constant vigilance.

This racist conspiracy has been mainstream opinion within the U.S. Right since the early 21st century. It comes out of Islamophobic response to 9/11 and has been propagated by pseudo-intellectuals like Bruce Bawer and Christopher Caldwell, who are broadly embraced by centrist media and think tanks.

not by any stretch the first person to say this but: it is darkly funny how nakedly imperialist Trump turned out to be given the lengths to which some professional opinion havers went to take his "isolationism" intellectually seriously

Part of the problem with some of these "smart guys" (referring to folks like Thompson) is that they adopt erroneous right-wing talking points to critique right-wingers.

🧵 I went to work in Congress with a Member who was raised in South Africa and part of the anti-apartheid movement. She taught me how to optimize the power of the opposition in the House. Like the trimtab on the rudder, members can steer the ship. Here are the six R's of minority power.

90% of "serious" American punditry is lying about what Democrats are saying, then telling them to do what they're already doing. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o...
Versions of this tripartite approach were once embraced by political leaders in both parties. But in recent elections Democrats increasingly cast themselves as full-throated defenders of immigrants, regardless of legal statusDemocrats should embrace the need to control who enters the country

There is a certain type of journalist — and there are many such cases at The New York Times — for whom it is actually gauche and embarrassing to treat news events and the people affected by them as if they're real.

I’ve always been fascinated by how conservatives turned to South Africa in the late 1960s and 1970s to project racist attitudes and fantasies that had become less welcome in polite white society.
