Just showed it to my wife in that manner. Worth it!

Except in one respect: Both exited public life in their mid-40s. (Too soon?)

Strange to think Dan Quayle (born Feb. 1947) is younger than all of them and left the White House before any of them entered.

No, he listens to At the Drive-In iirc

Those headlines suck. Bouie, an opinion writer who has nothing to do with the headlines that appear on news articles, is good.

I'm in the Brasilia airport rn

Overbey left the New Yorker in a messy public way that earned her a lot of Twitter followers and then seemed to get addicted to the attention

Yes, that immediately jumped out to me as well. Every time Democrats lose, the whole party wrings their hands about whether they are elites who are too out of touch with Real Americans, when it's actually Republicans who are more likely to be perceived that way!

I think the perception of Democrats as "out of touch" is real. But pundits tend to view this through a more ideological prism than voters do. "Out of touch" doesn't always mean "too left-wing." It could also mean weak/ineffective/unable to meet the moment. Or it could mean elitist/corporatist.

The only people who would give Democrats credit for moderating are pundits. Republicans still wouldn't vote for them, and independents would see them as wishy-washy.

Like, maybe it's the GOP who needs to be more "culturally normal."

Very interesting that voters perceive Republicans to be more elitist than Democrats, considering that fear of being perceived as elitist and out of touch with Real America is often what drives Dems to moderate and distance themselves from activists and the left.

This happened 18 days ago, at the start of the Olympics. (They had not yet won the gold medal.) teamusa.usahockey.com/news_article...

This is fun, but it wasn't after they won the gold medal. It happened on Feb. 8, on an off day during the preliminary round. teamusa.usahockey.com/news_article...

Yep

New law puts Kansas at vanguard of denying trans identities on drivers licenses, birth certificates Kansas is set to invalidate about 1,700 driver's licenses held by transgender residents and roughly as many of their birth certificates.

Honestly I think she can overcome it because she is seen as a more credible voice of working people than Clinton or Harris. She projects anti-establishment in a way that they couldn't.

Nobody would care nearly as much if he hadn't been a beloved celebrity before he became a senator. People are blinded by the fact that they found him funny.

Someone doesn't play @learnedleague.com, I guess

Reminds me of Trump's habit of saying "everyone knows this, even the Democrats know this, though they won't admit it." It creates the impression that any opposition is performative or manufactured and bolsters his false election claims (how could he have lost when so many people agree with him?)

Reddit apologises for online Boston 'witch hunt' Social news site Reddit has issued a public apology for the way speculation on the site led to people being wrongly accused of the Boston bombings.

Early example of this was the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013:

It's the same attitude that leads people on the left to stay on Twitter

Meanwhile, the women's champ (now using her married name) has commented on the 80-year-old man and his dad.

Better than Breitbart, I guess
