Wild idea: Maybe instead of trying to get @AbigailShrier's book banned, someone who objects to it should try reading it and even—gasp—reviewing it.
Here are the reviews I can find so far: feministcurrent.com/2020/08/30/bla…
womenarehuman.com/fleeing-from-f…
dailymail.co.uk/home/event/art…
christianpost.com/news/our-girls…
theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-t…
That's all I can find: a couple of feminist blogs and a few conservative outlets. The only major outlet that has reviewed it so far is the... Daily Mail. If this book is that dangerous, surely someone at the NYT or the New Yorker or the LARB should cover it.
My bad, missed this one:

It’s almost as if Twitter is not a great barometer of who and what normal people like 🤔
When The Stranger was doing endorsements for the primary we only considered Sanders and Warren. Someone said he was for Biden and everyone laughed.
(I, however, voted for Biden in the primary because I am one with the people)

As you can tell from Rupar’s tweet, none of these horribly irresponsible students were masked
I get that people think one thing is more valid that the other. I do too! But don’t pretend that a protest or an election celebration or a march isn’t going to spread Covid when a football game is. Just be honest!
I think I finally understand what gaslighting is

I think socialist's best chance of getting a bigger social safety net, a wealth tax, a Green New Deal, etc, would be to talk about these things without mentioning the word socialism
At least until a few more generations die off
FWIW I'm not a socialist because I think government is incompetent and I would never want those fools to own the means of production but I do think we should do a better job of taking care of poor people, the planet, etc

The thing that is so frustrating to me about the NPR-style post-election analysis that I’m listening to right now is that they seem to think there can only be one single explanation for Trump’s over-performance.
That explanation—surprise—is bigotry. It’s racist voters, it’s sexist voters and it’s so obvious that there’s no other explanation worth exploring. The end.
Of course, they ignore that Trump appears for have done quite well among minorities compared to previous GOP candidates. They ignore the rioting/looting that hit cities across the US, they ignore that people (including POC) care about things like taxes & public safety & jobs.

Re: Harris’s equity speech, @jessesingal and I disagree on this and here’s why:
Equity sounds like a good thing. It sounds like equality+, and the idea that everyone gets exactly what they need to succeed is a nice vision of the world.
But what equity means in practice is, yes, equality of outcome, as @BretWeinstein & @ConceptualJames argue. Now, as for what this means in practice, let’s look at the Seattle Public Schools’ equity agenda, which I wrote about here: thestranger.com/slog/2019/12/0…
