The Sex Purge concept sounds like a Rock & Morty ep. They visit a planet with sex only allowed once per year. Rick is excited cuz repressed people get extremely freaky, Summer tries to start a revolution for all year sluttery. Morty is skeptical of the logistics but his valid questions are ignored.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

The right, with the enthusiastic help of the mainstream media, forced several previously obscure issues (trans high school sports?!) into the spotlight during the election. That same alliance will decide whether the Trump/Musk fight stays in the news, and how it's covered. That's how it works.

I just read another of those "The Oscars are irrelevant because they don't honor movies real people see" essays. So, my annual rant: Two of last year's box office top 10 are Best Picture nominees. Is the idea that the Oscars would be "relevant" if they were more? If I'm Still Here were replaced...

I've been thinking about the shooter's Goodreads a lot. Almost exclusively, these are books that don't actually teach you anything, but rather are more like a kind of bizarre cosmetic surgery that makes your brain look smart to you when you look at it the mirror. Intelligence dysmorphia disorder.

I haven't seen a single "we have to understand the concerns of Trump voters" take reckons with the fact that a huge percentage of their concerns are based on false information. You cannot "address" a concern about a fake thing!

Trump voters are one of the most studied and understood political movements in US history. At what point are we allowed to say, "we understand these people's concerns, we just don't agree with them"?

Emotionally, there are two ways Democrats can respond: contempt or curiosity.

The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.

This is the whole ballgame for me: You cannot run a functioning democracy in a media environment where voters do not know basic facts about what candidates do and believe. Voters are living in a post-internet world and legacy institutions have not kept up.

The fact that Biden’s progressive accomplishments—in particular a massive fiscal stimulus, strong wage growth, and the most significant climate legislation in American history—ultimately translated into low popularity and a popular vote loss carries some disturbing implications.
