David Brooks offers himself as a cultural and moral exemplar. The solution to all the world’s problems he sees in his mirror.

Zelenskyy is the greatest Western leader of the modern era. Trump is the worst. Zelenskyy is the leader of the free world. Trump is its most treacherous betrayer. Zelenskyy saved his democracy. Trump destroyed his. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

My experience was not like that at all. Thank goodness. We were expected to carry the discussion. Though the profs cued it up.

The whole statement is more sensible and supportive of rule of law, citing Mike Pence as a positive example.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Checked on the new Hard Fork hosts at the NYT. I expected something more polished. Less generic. But didn’t stay long, so will check again.

I gotta say I love this part of your stewardship of TPM (nearly) as much as the political POV. Your absolute clear-eyed mastery of the business model and ability to explain it is better than anyone else I’ve encountered and I’ve worked in this industry (on the ad side) for 20+ years.

The key to Mamdani's success is that he comes in as a "socialist," but instead of doing socialist things (seizing the means of production, etc.) he just does a lot of mayor things. And somehow previous mayors weren't doing that?

I’m listening to the Ezra Klein—Jensen Huang interview and it really is astonishing how clueless and bored Huang sounds. He sounds like an exec rattling off talking points that he only just received. “It’s an Industrial Revolution. Jobs will change. But it’ll all, uh, be good. But my chips!”

Our American elections are free and secure. The smear campaign against them is an attempt to acquire powers to subvert them.

I just listened to Ezra Klein’s interview with Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Started out just awful. Empty. Not serious. I shut it down 20 minutes in and will try to give it another try later.

One more example of how a personalist regime they cannot conceive of a bipartisan institution to the point they would prefer to destroy it if they cannot repurpose it to their ends. See, also, much of the rest of the federal government, our military, science, higher education etc.

if you're the abc news editor who wrote that the nyc mayor attending the 9/11 ceremony is attracting "growing criticism" solely because he's a muslim then you are the criticism you're writing about

ABC:
Mayor Mamdani says he'll attend 9/11 ceremony despite growing criticism
Mayor Mamdani says he will attend New York City's annual remembrance ceremony.

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

But I wouldn’t have done it myself and think that entire episode deserves a lot more criticism than it got.

The response to the Kirk shooting scared me to death. I had heard his name but paid no attention to him and the first I learned was after that. I am not sure how I feel about the flag lowering. The flood of rage against any criticism was alarming and I was worried about people like us getting hurt.

A coat. I learned to play that on the guitar when I was in high school. And my mother, one of the two or three wealthiest women in our town of about 250, had a Singer sewing machine and made a lot of our clothes from patterns. She bought our play clothes and made a lot of the nicer things herself.
