This seems like a very both-sidesy way to present the entirely right-skewing American crime-and-punishment discourse.

These midterms are poised to be a rout barring (A) Republican malfeasance and/or (B) establishment Democrats who can't build a coherent and compelling vision and message for people to get behind. Keep your eyes open.

I know it goes without saying but as the right wing media-political complex runs from Trump we should remember that they played a leading role in--and gleefully profited from--enabling and promoting him. Accomplices trying to get off a sinking ship, trying to salvage what's left of their reputation

Easiest thing a 2028 Democratic presidential candidate can pledge to do is Day 1 wipe out every memorial to Trump and every Trump executive order. Not difficult, but I'd bet real money that mainline Dems won't commit to it.

Missouri Republicans in absurd meltdown tantrum over the clearly correct MO Supreme Court ruling in favor of the will of the people about state districting and the popular vote. Missouri's elected officials are part of a corrupt and disgraceful power grab, and I hope there will be a reckoning.

Just some recent guests on “Real Time with Bill Maher”:

2. Ryan Holliday
3. Andrew Cuomo
4. Mike Rowe
5. Scott Galloway
6. Erin Brockovich
7. David Sedaris
8. Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Are these guests on loathed Bill Maher’s show not interesting enough for you, @JoyceCarolOates?

Love these! Highly recommend checking out the One Ring Roleplaying Game (2nd Ed.) cover art by Martin Grip if you weren't already aware of it. There's lots of good interior art in those books by a bunch of people, but I'm specifically a big fan of the impressionistic covers.

We need to retire the words “woke” and “cancelled.” No one who is aware of <the situation> actually calls themselves “woke.” It’s used as an insult. But it’s not really insulting? No one who whines about being “cancelled” actually is. We hear them whining b/c they’re still mic’d up.

This line from Ross Douthat’s final NYT column is something you see all the time from the soft-MAGA right. Sure, Trump’s *most* alarmist critics weren’t correct, but that’s basically true of every president. Trump’s *median* critic did in fact predict his presidency pretty accurately.

Trumpism has flailed and failed, it hasn't consolidated the kind of authoritarian power anticipated by its most alarmed opponents.

Every map of the cyclosporiasis outbreak shows Missouri with no cases, and let me tell you that's not because Missouri actually has no cases, it's because Missouri has garbage public health reporting. I remember the early spread of COVID when we supposedly had like six total cases statewide.

Is a socialist candidate electable in a purple state? A modestly interesting question. A more interesting question: what if socialist candidates, despite facing opposition from their own party, not only win, but overperform? What if the moderate assumption of themselves as “electable” is exposed?
