This is not some vast singular national spy operation, this is rich people throwing dark money and support around people with similar causes and financial ties, to crush the left, prevent oversight and get some money in the future. It has a strong return on investment.

Much like Hungary and Orban propping up various groups. It's best viewed less as Russian plots and more as an international patron and laundering alliance between far right groups.

Twice he's asked about the risk of creating a martyr. Twice his answer is "no one has to watch it." Which is, obviously, not remotely an answer to the question.

The ads don't "brag about America", however useless that sounds to me. They brag about the President and warn against his political critics and opponents.

He hates when you call him a mercenary. Mercenary. “What brought both men to Congo was their employment by Mr. Prince, the founder of Blackwater Worldwide, a company notorious for a civilian massacre in Iraq in 2007.”

The injury of a former Green Beret and death of an elite soldier from New Zealand have highlighted the Blackwater founder’s growing role in one of Africa’s most intractable conflicts.

this is maybe a stupid question but is there any poli-sci research on how the position in the year of elections raises salience of certain issues? Like, fall/winter elections more about the cost of heating, that type of thing.

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.

The WSJ‘s coverage here has been outrageously great. Everything is about an inch from “In the text messages, Guilfoyle instructed the billionaire playboy to put the money in a burlap sack with a dollar sign on the side and wrote ‘In exchange for cash, I’ll do you favors in my official capacity ❤️.’”

THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE: Wild, unusual, fascinating documentary. I had not seen any of John Wilson's stuff before and now really want to go through his show. A look at impermanence and also rather worrying study of incoming disaster. Absolutely worth seeing.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

"But Achilles wanted glory!" No, he didn't. He very explicitly says, "fuck this, I hate Agamemnon, and I'm going home," until Patroclus dies. The entire point of the poem is his rage and grief. Can anyone read a fucking book, holy shit.
