Shout out to all the right- and left-wingers who pretended to believe he was the anti-war candidate in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

For a lot of Iranians, and certainly some if not many American soldiers, it means death and suffering and misery and pain.

But glad the politics desks have their eyes on what really matters.

Again: we should just abolish politics desks. Cover the substance, not gamified politics.

The Times still doesn’t realize how Trump manipulates it. Such headlines plant ideas in our brains the subsequent “fact checks” don’t remove or undo. To consider the plausibility of lies concedes their plausibility. It’s a win for Trump and a loss for truth.

Donald Trump and the Republicans are threatening to destroy representative democracy while killing civilians, taking massive bribes, destroying alliances, and exploding costs. That's why it's so critical that the Democrats find candidates who are inspiring enough to get me to vote.

In which he reveals his inner self only in conversations with his invisible friend, William Empson (who is thus inspired to identify an eighth type of ambiguity).

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
