New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

This isn't tenable. Yet the conservative movement is boxed in on all sides. It committed to a worldview a decade ago, when the planet was pro-trade, the US was friendly and Europe at peace, and now does not know what to do. The British right cannot seek closer economic integration with its own continent without admitting that Brexit was a stinker of an idea. It cannot defrost the relationship with China without upsetting its own side. It cannot get much tighter to Trump without needling the public. Which leaves what? Getting on really well with New Zealand is not a foreign policy

This is rather on the nose from Janan Ganesh about how thinking on the right of politics is boxed in on foreign policy when as Carney pointed out, middle powers will need mini alliances with multiple countries on an issue by issue basis

FT is like if a paper was read by both the French aristocracy and the lawyers that would eventually behead them. But the aristocracy only half reads it and mostly relies on gossip they heard in Versailles/their group chats while the lawyers read it and turn into jacobins.

I really think it's a shame if the club haven't made a full court press for Coffey. Her leadership beyond everything else would be immensely additive, I think

Do you think there is a possibility she could leave to Europe (to Arsenal?), given we have seen other NWSL talent go? What do you think the club's posture would be?

Your regular reminder that there is absolutely nothing "hard" or "tough" about targeting the poorest, most vulnerable, and least able to defend themselves groups of people on the entire planet

How is York coping without a Duke and Duchess? Will people in York be ok? Are the jobs advertised locally or will they go again to outsiders?
