One of the absolute worst people in media. The Daily Wire is a clown outfit.
Thank you Kanye, very cool!
The reality is that @benshapiro is willing to utterly toxify political discourse so long as it earns clicks for his crankland operation.
There is no defense for hiring @RealCandaceO. Has nothing to do with cancel culture. Has everything to do with Owens being ferociously vile.
This is Candace's grift model. To say outrageous things under the guise of "inspiring global conversation"—then leveraging the inevitable vilification that follows toward audience growth. It's a tried and true model.

Some people argue that because (1) Trump is incompetent, and (2) our institutions are durable, it means that, even though (3) Trump tried to steal the election, (4) our pre- and post-election fears of election theft are unjustified.
While it's true that Trump himself is incapable of pulling off a sophisticated steal, he sits at the helm of a political superstructure that is professionally and financially incentivized by his winning reelection.
I understand—and agree with—having faith in our institutions.
But I don't get how anyone with a basic respect for the allurement of political power could watch what Trump has tried to do and still conclude, "Well, *obviously* America's guardrails were always going to hold."
I understand the concerns about academic fields uncritically adopting boutique progressivist buzzfare. But the dimensions of race and class are absolutely germane to the broader inquiry into “public health.”
Smart “anti-SJW” people should drop people like Lindsay just like smart “SJW” people should drop people like DiAngelo. They are enemies of nuance. The world is too complex for them.
Like you, but at a far lower level of recognition, I'm a discourse curator. I have a newsletter I'm about to relaunch on this very theme. I run a site in which I try to sift good commentary from bad.
a lib's dream: changing vote totals on dominion election software, accessed exclusively via Hunter's laptop, stored on Hillary's private server.
a lib's nightmare: patriotic poll watchers bursting through the door with a warrant that's really just a realDonaldTrump tweet that says "you're fired"
a lib's revenge: memorizing all 98,999 pages of obama's first eleven memoirs so that no one can plagiarize him without consequence
Something I haven't touted as much, though I want to now, is @ArcDigi's commitment to publishing *historical* columns. Our main focus is on current events. But this world did not poof into existence five minutes ago—so history will continue to be a key offering in Arc's lineup.
Here's a piece we just published by @NathGAlexander on the controversy surrounding a work called "Black Athena," which takes us to ancient Greece, Africa, and to investigating whether retrofitting our concepts of race represents unjustified anachronism.
Here's a piece we published a few days ago by @LDBurnett on the effects that a shift in publishing models in earlier centuries had on the world of literature, and on the fortunes of writers. She then ties it in to a shift we might be seeing today.
