no, Jordan rejected it (he hated snakes, seriously) and Kobe claimed it lol
Defector dot com exists for this reason.
Yeah. Now he's very committed to a kind of inverse-Chotiner petard-hoisting operation that can occasionally seem like a frustrating debate-kid game.
resolute in my conviction that used EVs are one of the most promising asset classes right now

Sure, I have critiques too. I'm just saying, this episode, he did a good job of doing something he doesn't always do a good job of doing, which is marking and emphasizing the point at which his guest's argument goes from "reasonable people disagree" to "ideologically-fueled corrosive fantasy."
This is not, specifically, a dig at him. I think he's genuinely trying to get this person to account for the craven cynicism of Trump's reversal on regime change, and she simply won't do it. I thought it was an instructive thing to hear.
If anybody is interested in hearing Ezra Klein ask the exact same question 100 times without ever getting his guest to answer it, do I have a podcast episode for you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6fr...
as a society we have failed to make this kind of herb-ass dork shit as embarrassing and shameful as it should be
"Left politics should respond not to the birth rate, but to the material needs of working class parents and children."

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”
I like that John Kennedy has decided to model his entire vibe and life philosophy on the Sheriff of Nottingham from fox Robin Hood.
I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.
Perhaps you've noticed that people are lying to you about which shows are funny. You are watching these shows, and you are hearing the jokes, and they're told, by the actors, in the cadence of a joke, but you're having a hard time lol'ing.
You should watch HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST.
Any comment from the Close Reading Brain Trust (@dan-sinnamon.bsky.social @johannawinant.bsky.social) on this pervy smoothie of a New Critical passage exam?
"We took idiosyncratic passages out of context from longer, often challenging works, and asked a supercomputer to render them more palatable in isolation. Which version do you find more palatable in isolation?"
I wrote something--4000 words' worth of something!--for the Yale Review about Hamnet the book, Hamnet the movie, & the riddle of representing Shakespeare's life on the page & on the screen.
I steal from ALDI all the time. Or at least it feels like stealing, as a result of its incredible prices!
Help folks: there was some coverage from a couple of weeks ago where David Ellison was talking about wanting to make entertainment for middle America. Did I imagine this?
This is why you pay Q Dot $30 million dollars a year for four years.
Doc Rivers would beat the Cavs with this team. To be clear, he would not beat the Cavs in a playoff series with the current full-health Sixers starters. But he could coach up Cam Payne and Dom Barlow to blow out the Cavs tonight. 100%.
There's a terrific and eye-opening chapter in Stephanie Coontz's THE WAY WE NEVER WERE that's specifically about the ways that Leave it to Beaver and Ozzie and Harriet were positioned as "representative" of American middle-class life even as they were defiantly, provably, not.
I would not be the writer I am without this man’s support since I was a freelancer with a wild dream. Please consider checking out a lil something that catches your eye from his great bookstore.

If Steve Carrell does not appear on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast during the press tour for his new show, I think we will officially have grounds to suspect that there is beef between them. He's the most obvious guest, and if the premiere of Rooster doesn't do it, there's trouble, I think.
The voice and method and feeling and ambition and love of contemporary television criticism would be practically unimaginable without Matt Zoller Seitz.
Buy some books from his wonderful store!
I'm never going to do this, but, I like to be clear that, if I did, it would be the Jesus Christ Superstar concept album (1970).
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
the “better fash than cringe” reaction has been one of the more significant and widespread poisons of the last decade
