I get why gatekeeping in its negative sense is bad but also it feels an awful lot like gatekeeping in the positive sense was a load bearing pillar of society.

someone needs to invent a word that means the opposite of "enhearten". like when something causes you to *lose* confidence/determination instead of gain it

Guys like Yglesias keep using the "HR training" and "HR lady" shorthand because it's less obviously odious than honestly saying that they don't think racism or misogyny are important issues worth dealing with and only matter as "luxury beliefs" for prudish upper class people

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

it is pretty insane that the movement which produced the idea that Kamala Harris would go to war in Iran has not produced any sort of resistance, even messaging, about the actual war in Iran

Lindsey Graham was a closeted straight woman. She had to hide her sexuality, as she was from an era when senators were not allowed to be women. But there were clues (Lindsey is a girl's name).

The Platner mess has exposed a very specific sub-tendency on the American socialist left: urbanites whose politics are defined by their hatred of their liberal neighbors, and channel that distaste into a condescending fetishization of rural/working-class male identity

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Among other things, the latest turn in the Platner story is a good example of why journalists need to get off X for professional and personal reasons, not just ethical ones. The writers who gassed his campaign up and now need to walk it back are mostly people who cooked their brains on X.

challenging to phrase this exactly right because it'd be in bad taste to use this as a gotcha against all his supporters, but the journalists who very explicitly framed Platner as a rejection of stuff like "HR Lady Politics" or (ugh) "smoothgroins" should take a long, hard, look in the mirror today

Since it apparently needs to be said: “Innocent until proven guilty” is the standard for convicting a person of criminal misconduct in a court of law and depriving them of liberty. It is perfectly reasonable for voters to have a different standard for electing someone to the US Senate.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

the idea that “DEI” is to blame for racist assumptions about the ability of nonwhite people and not actual racism is such a perfect example of racecraft www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

Poll shows decline in belief that Blacks and Asians face racial discrimination

Meanwhile, about three in 10 people said DEI increased discrimination against white people.
