Do Media Organizations Even Want Cultural Criticism? The grim calculations involved in publishing traditional written reviews.

And Baltimore is slashing crime with a chronically understaffed police force β€” partnering with violence mitigation groups and implementing community programs to mentor at-risk youth! Social services in place of militant patrols

The people elected to serve DO have input! They nominate the Fed Board! Trump appointees already control the Fed!

Obviously Vance knows this, but he expects (correctly) that the average person does not, and wants to exploit that ignorance.

I have done this too. As an English instructor I have heard of at least one prof who is doing oral exams β€”which can be a good workaround, but it’s a fundamentally different kind of thinking than writing, which requires struggle and sustained attention. Makes me sad to think that could be lost

Cleveland is the secondary team in my house and they are so lucky to have him β€” dedicated player, great hitter, and loyal to the city in a way that a lot of Cleveland athletes aren’t

Agreed β€” as someone who saw this several weekends a month living in Nashville, it’s not terribly surprising anymore. These guys are emboldened and open about their views, especially post-covid, and they do this stuff with relative regularity. But it never stops being despicable or disturbing.
