Then they’re misinformed and are buying into a manufactured moral panic. And because they don’t see the endgame they think the reasonable, practical, grown-up thing to do would be to concede this one issue, and then the bigots will back off. Which is painfully naive.

Only the left has agency. The right simply *exists*, like the weather.

I disagree. If he wants right-wing media stardom, I think being a repentant former "leftist" (yeah, I know, LOL) who "saw the light" is a golden ticket. There's a bottomless appetite for the "I didn't leave them, they left me" schtick.

Here in New York City it's increasingly common to see signs inviting people to use whichever public restroom they are most comfortable with. This includes places like Broadway theatres and the home of the NY Philharmonic. I have yet to hear of a single "incident" resulting from these policies.

Yeah, that's a favorite of mine -- honking because the driver in front of you refuses to run over the pedestrian in the crosswalk. In NYC, this happens even when the pedestrian has the WALK light in their favor.

As an opera fan, the “DEI casting” thing really cracks me up. It’s been more than 60 years since Leontyne Price sang Carmen.

Love them, but only when they’ve been soaking in milk for a good long while, or doused in milk and nuked. A true comfort food.

As if Hegseth had been just standing by, waiting for the order to start slaughtering.

I've never related to Mary as much as I do right now.

Could a Holocaust-denying historian get a position in a Jewish Studies department? I’m just asking…
