Also, lacking Murdoch media probably plays a big role.

The elites of the center and center-left in the US/UK seemingly internalized their 80s experiences during Reagan/Thatcher and then leaned into the can't-beat-em-join-em of Clinton/Blair a bit too much and retained those reflex. Meanwhile, Canada's center-right party of the 80s is defunct.
Proof by… vigorous assertion?!?!
An attempt to poke fun has to make some sort of coherent sense to constitute a joke.
… two words with a “.” between them, representing the end of a sentence and separating the second word into a distinct and discrete thought. “One word: coup.” is still idiotic, but not due to poor arithmetic, and misreading the punctuation in a four word paragraph ought to be embarrassing.
Make that “STAY IN LINE”. “On line” is a weird regionalism … for regions from which Midwestern conservatives do not hail.
She has been in the Senate for a term more than Schumer. But Chuck arrived in Washington as a Rep when Murray was still teaching preschool. No interviews at all would be a massive improvement on Schumer; let alone strategies *not* tailored to the imagined preferences of two imaginary boomers.
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.”
Have to presume these folks see a Bactrian Camel 🐫 and grind their teeth in anger.
What dataset did Third Way cite?
A pretext flagrantly at odds with reality emanating from the mouthparts of a known liar ought not be hard to discard for any actual journalist. With a proto-authoritarian administration the official “justification” is newsworthy only insofar as it is an indicator of what the actual reason is *not*.
The only good excuse is if the one with the ear logo happens to pronounce it as "Jill-Behr".
Only on packaging intended for the U.K.
The takeaway from Watergate for the US political media was that sans coverup there can’t be a crime; indeed, nothing to even be disparaged “objectively” without it. NYT perceives Rufo doing plotting in the open as him being a plain-talker communicating well in his duties as assignment editor.
A potential recipe for happiness on an individual level … and for stagnation as a society: improvement on seventy years ago is a low bar. Research, tho, mostly indicates people’s delight in their day-to-day is fairly homeostatic, so friend may’ve been as pleased in the middle class / old country.
More accurately, CA has successfully called an election where if voters consent the state will have successfully responded to the 2010 GOP Redmap gerrymanders just 16 short years later.
Kyle "Burke" Freeland. Come on, fellas, it's one (1) paragraph; y'all are capable of replacing all three instances of the pitcher's name when changing the target of the story.
Those guys' politics and policy takes are reliably awful, though, soooooo
At this point in the first term Trump had the “adults in the room” and the courts checking his worst impulses. This term the former never made it into the admin and the latter is quiescent, so his admin is doing dumb/evil shit immediately, rather than just taking credit for the Obama econ.
It's apparently not possible to pass an interview for NYT reporter without demonstrating the ability to perennially be born yesterday.
Peace Prize is already a joke.
You were fine. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/h...
The Split Ticket guys are data/polling analysts, not “consultants”. They put out articles on the internet as opposed to being hired by campaigns. And their political opinions are issued separately from their data work.
1.9 something
The vast majority of people have an above average number of legs. “Average” colloquially is “mean” rather than “median”.
The youngest people that voted for Eisenhower are currently 87.
They would mostly see that as a win, unfortunately.
Better believe they’d be ready to ‘No True Scotsman’ over “civilized”.
The Japanese construction company in question specialized in Buddhist temples and was founded to construct the first such temple in Japan. If it counts then Buddhism probably should, no?
No, not good enough. Absent serious prison time for ¾ths of the cabinet … three of the "justices" on SCOTUS … and several dozen Congresscritters, the ratcheting continues. Dems "looking forward" and being responsible for fifty years has allowed constant GOP corruption while intermittently in power.
Technically a section of the tax code (Sec 179) states that any vehicle weighing over 6,000 lbs and used over 50% for business purposes is deductible, so there's (unfortunately) a real incentive to own those pavement princesses.
I like to put it this way: he's not been involved in any way in a Democrat winning a political race since he married a Republican operative almost 32 years ago.
1992, no? Carville wasn’t involved in Clinton’s reelection campaign AFAIK.
People that are on TV a lot nonetheless occasionally die as soon as within four decades of those appearances.
Hang on, MTG being as capable of self-reflection as that dude is certainly possible. Similarly, an empty mind could technically be considered open.
Concurrently with a prosecution for perjury seeking the maximum sentence.
Look, the man’s name is Jeff Mays and boy howdy is he going to live up to it.
The lack of follow-ups and confrontation in general is a similar abdication of responsibility to the public.
Trump gets a ton of mileage out of this sane-washing as well. At some point someone in the press must’ve taken the normal removal of “um”s and what-not when quoting a bit further and found themselves rewarded with access and leaks, and now here we are.
Solution for that distortion is … removing the stepped up basis.
There’s a two year window for widowers as well. But even $250K of tax free profit is … plenty.
There’s already no tax on the first $500K of profit from the sale of a primary residence.
The “Actual Principles, Even Repugnant Ones” caucus is not a large one.
He played four seasons in the NFL; dude’s not pandering by pretending to work out.
Nope. The perception in my Iowa high school in the late 90s was more along the lines of “Biggie’s remora”.
When he voted for Senate leadership’s “brilliant strategy” to give up all CR leverage in exchange for “getting” to propose D.O.A. amendments and that got called out as idiotic here, he … slunk away and stopped daily posting and interactions, since there was nothing to say in defense.
Train stations and airports and hotel hallways and, uh, paved streets all exist. As for curbs, wheels do not make a suitcase magically impossible to lift. Wheelchair ramps aren’t “the norm” in most of the world now and in the US became that in the 90s, two decades after the wheeled luggage patent.
* did
Similarly, people walked around on the moon before putting a set of wheels on luggage.
I mean, if the post-mayoralty careers of past NYC mayors are anything to go by…
Also there were twenty five years at least in there of national pundits openly yearning for "Sister Souljah moments" out of just about every Democratic candidate for national office.
This is (somehow?) a slight insult … to McClellan. The anti-logic here is "Disarm and surrender now, lest we possibly lose an ensuing war!" The solution of independent redistricting commissions whose work product is advisory *unless* a national gerrymandering ban is enacted is, like, right there.
The question for anyone good there the last six-to-eighteen months was more why they hadn’t yet left.
They need to hit you with a “Three months in the lab saves an afternoon in the library, hehehe” to really twist the knife.
And are immensely correct on that point.
A skosh late, but the obvious move. The writing was on the wall with Sargent’s departure at the end of 2023, and now there’s literally nobody good left in op-ed from then.
Rambo 1 is about as far from nationalistic as it gets. It’s small stakes story of a Vietnam vet abandoned by his country getting hassled for no reason by podunk law enforcement.
He currently stands a non-zero chance at being their Reagan: a fuckup overall, but fortunate enough to have lucked into the country’s geopolitical adversary self-destructing due to the continuation of internal trends that he had approximately nothing to do with but gets credit for domestically.
Not even in the same zip code as true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_...
“Yes, but I play one on TV” has always been the aspiration.
Hmmm, now which one was pure brown-nosing the publisher by giving him what he desperately wants to be true? Real stumper there.
That’s the real estate market *working*, not imploding. A collective delusion that houses that get destroyed every X years on average shall be priced and insured as if they’re destroyed every 5*X years can’t be sustained indefinitely in the face of observable reality.
So the “Altered Carbon” universe?
“Don’t use lead in cookware and pipes or your society will suffer stillbirths and infant mortality, your youths will make bad impulsive decisions, and your leaders will grow erratic” could go a long long way. Salt based pottery glazing is not complex.
The NY Dem party seems optimized for producing machine-beholden politicians that don’t know ball and can’t communicate. Elevating two such chumps to Congressional leadership positions was a bad, bad call.
Treating punctuation and grammar as optional doesn’t quite work all the time. Just like “let’s eat grandma!” vs “let’s eat, grandma”, there are a couple potential readings.
Becoming the “Rams” would be an acceptable tribute to their time as the Cleveland Naps, with Jose Ramirez playing the role of Nap Lajoie.
The theory would be that saying nothing combative and relying on thermostatic public opinion and low-propensity Pres/Trump-only voters not showing up to swing like 7%-8% of the vote on its own would be easily enough to flip the House at least. But there’s no story/plan for what happens afterwards.
In 95+% of political reporting the issue the article is ostensibly about is treated as a MacGuffin: driving the significant/captivating drama, yes, but important in so far as it does so. Not coincidentally, political reporting suuuuuucks at informing the reader. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGuffin
* David Ellison, not Larry Larry’s two kids each got a ton of money to play media mogul. David’s younger sister Megan produces movies.
There’s no news org mentioned in the quoted post.
Further, the test of whether a society is virtuous/decent (or moving in that direction) is *precisely* whether it is creating incentives that cause the non-virtuous to signal and act virtuously/decently.
Which bit of illogical dumfuckery is load-bearing cannot be guessed at using the intelligent application of logic. This shouldn’t be all that surprising.
With the number of times someone quoted as ‘area voter’ in their stories has turned out to be leadership in the local GOP or Young Republicans the answer seems to be yes.
The Spartans are a revealing/appropriate choice for cult-of-the-operator tacticool posers yearning to tear down productive society in order to cobble together an extractive dead-end society doomed by its rigid exploitative hierarchy with slaves on bottom and a parasitic class of said posers on top.
Most definitions of “altruism” require the behavior in question to be detrimental or at least unhelpful to the actor.
They blew that initial analysis, and *that’s* the lesson they’re going to draw. Had the supposed “revelation” been anything at all the slimery involved would’ve gotten lost in the shuffle of the stampede to pile on, just like the times they used Rufo as assignment editor.
A bit late now, what with the lack of time machine and all. Four decades and counting weren’t enough to learn object permanence and remember that Republicans continue to be super evil even when out of power (yes even when keys are being jangled), so here we are.
No, that’s a whole different sentence.
Neither of those ring true. More likely Jeffries didn’t actually accomplish much of anything one way or the other.
That should’ve been Grant Wahl’s article to write.
And hence it’s the Enabling Act of 2025 in multiple senses.
The lady dog doth protest too much, methinks.
My “not a rapacious private equity firm” shirt seems to be prompting many questions already answered by my shirt.
The sentence quoted starts with “Every day”.
Incorrectly answering “Which administration was in office for every single day of 2020?” seems to be an article of faith in the GOP.
Profiles in courage, those two.
If Collins and Murkowski are ever not actually falling into line leadership is informed of it weeks in advance. Public waffling with them literally always means “yes” and yet somehow DC media falls for it every time.
The Murkowski-Collins two step only works one way. They’re always concerned and prepared to vote no on the terrible bill … unless that “no” vote would actually tank it, in which case they’re an allegedly agonized and reluctant “aye”. Somehow the political media falls for it every time, though.
The first Chief Justice, John Jay, died at age 83.
Yeah, the last bit of money is certainly nice, but the veteran Baseball Man thing seems to be far more the reputational gold star of being able to regard oneself as a "made man". Some quotes to that effect (with pension details from previous CBA): www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Whoops, I fat fingered a number: the amount of annual pension vested each quarter-year of MLB service time is one fortieth of the max amount of $275K, so $6875.
There isn’t any bump. The vesting is entirely linear: the annual pension boost for hitting day 43 is the same $6.75K as for going from 9.75 years of service time to 10. All that happens at ten years is that it stops accruing further.
Zohran Mamdani was born 15 days *after* Bill Clinton announced the last winning campaign with which Carville was involved.
Like the (probably apocryphal) story of Picasso’s doodle, the tactics of a little idea and line of code take a couple minutes, but the expertise to get oneself in position to have such an insight in the first place can take months to years.
If making $700K+ a year, you should also value living in a society not actively trying to be evil at over $12K. Like, even as a completely amoral asshole that’s a good rate for pitchfork insurance.
From orbit, just to be sure.
Not coincidentally, they get run at a loss as a subsidized service.
That kinda depends on what that initial is, right?
