-very electorally strong governor seen to embody his party's ideology -frequently talked about as a presidential candidate -running for a fourth term in a midterm with a very unpopular scandal-ridden incumbent president who was friends with epstein -welcome back mario cuomo

Honestly they should run a female candidate against Bernie Moreno in 2030 and spend most of the campaign talking about this.

Nebraska and Idaho aren't really "rural" states unless New Hampshire and Michigan count. It's more a situation of small towns and "cities" that consist of an urban form that anywhere else would be considered exurban sprawl

god the struggle of cis people who can’t give up a daily word game and a children’s book series. no trans person can imagine this immense burden. the poor, poor, poor little treasures.

“If gender turns out to be an arbitrary, transcendable division, and not a permanent and natural one, then what remains of how we order and rank the human race?”

To a hammer everything looks like a nail etc, but I do think that gender is the first and primary hierarchical division of human beings, and that much of the passion of the transphobic project comes from transphobes (correctly) assessing trans people’s threat to all other hierarchies.

there is no good faith anti-trans sports lobby and never has been it’s been a cynical wedge issue from day one for a group of people looking to replace gay marriage as a cultural weapon none of them have ever cared about women, women’s sports, or even sports

Countless women's sports teams have independently spoken up in favour of trans inclusion in sports only to be targeted by attacks from people who hate women's sports

are satanic mortgage rates good for the economy

I think Yglesias is basically right that audience capture is an exceptionally powerful force, far more than commonly acknowledged; the problem is that one of the best extent examples of this is Yglesias himself.

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

Today at Bari Weiss' Free Press: Has a donation service previously used to enrich our favorite celebrity murderers become a hate site?

Something to be learned from the fact that support for trans athletes scales with proximity to women's sports, I think

The asymmetry here is despair-inducing. Imagine the media circus that would erupt if a Democrat did something like this

"All this trans stuff is annoying I wish we could just focus on basketball" yeah imagine how fucking annoying it is for trans people

Next time the New York Times sends a reporter to the plains states on a diner safari, they should ask Trump voters there about the president's weird attacks on the windmills that power their states

she thought that only meant for white people

Once again: If you back candidates who look good to you on paper but don't turn out to be all that appealing to voters, it's not the lefties who are ruining everything. You're the one who screwed up. www.notus.org/2026-electio...

lmao Troy Jackson trolled Republicans about logging policy in the Bangor Daily News comments under the alias "Canadians for LePage"

Yeah. I'd suggest that people who regularly publish such "THE CRUEL CHILDREN THESE DAYS ARE ESTRANGING THEIR INNOCENT PARENTS" hot takes are not intellectually serious, to say the least. And they're on the evil side.
