The notion of a President fully in service of a foreign power is so unimaginable that Americans are wasting time disbelieving their lying eyes and gaslighting themselves instead of battening down the hatchets. The person they’ve elected is dismantling their country at a terrific speed.

the extent to which conservatives are CODDLED in the academy in a way that no one else is. the coddling of the american conservative. and then when they have to face the same pressures as literally anyone else, how they scream and cry and sob about how unfair it all is.

yeah, I'm out of sympathy.

I remember once when my eldest was just about to turn 2, I was having dinner with Daniel Abraham and some other writers, and we were talking about parenting. And Daniel said “You don’t so much raise your kids as get to know them.” And that’s turned out to be the best parenting advice I ever got.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Wow! That’s really special

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
