Between Zohran, MTG, Pope Rave, and the Nuzzi chronicles this has been an absolutely bonkers few days to be terminally online.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Looks cool! Let me know if you want to come present it at Albany, and I can try to arrange something.

If this is a real change of heart or whatever, than great. But if it’s an electability ploy, then it makes no sense.

MGT being sane on Dems is like Newsom embracing transphobia. An appeal to a voter base that will never ever vote for them.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Well, on the bright side at least we get a full year of discourse about how the Dodgers are ruining baseball.

And of course, centrists have no deeply held beliefs so they can’t imagine that other people have them.

Also why is always the left (but also black voters and other groups) that has to compromise? They want the support so bad, they can come and get it. Nobody deserves to be in office.

β€œI find it hard to imagine that we would be having this conversation at all were Platner anything other than a fit middle-aged white guy who dresses like a stock photo of a β€œreal man.’”

If you read one article today, make it this one. Come for the takedown of Platner, stay for the turn to Gramsci that hits like a truck.

If you are presenting at this year's conference (just two weeks away!), don't forget to post your paper to the paper archive for this year's conference by the end of Oct. 23. Link and instructions for the archive at this year's conference homepage: associationforpoliticaltheory.org/content.aspx...

One of our main blindspots as a country is that we haven’t grappled with the giant predatory evil of diaper companies, preying on tired parents who can’t do math.
