At the very least fire Nagy please.
L.M.F.A.O.
One of the ugliest, most unwatchable football games I have ever seen. Just awful all around.
I absolutely cannot believe what I am watching
What on earth is going on!
Are we gonna set some kind of penalty record here? This is ludicrous.
Good thing Matt Nagy took that last timeout!

Because I'm a liberal, who can't take my own side in an argument, I thought I'd offer a little bit of a counter to the thrust of this essay. It's not a rebuttal, but an extension.

There are lots of things that are *great* about the internet and social media and the connections they can create. What I've come to think is that there is Good Internet and Bad Internet. (From an experiential point of view; I'm not talking about disinformation and the like.)
Good Internet is produced by mutual relationships of reciprocity, either people you know irl, or actual relationships you form in online spaces. This is why group texts are so great! Bad Internet is basically everything else.

I think it's hard, at this point, to say something new about social media and the effect it's having on us, socially, psychologically and spiritually. But I tried!

A few points:

1) The biggest change that comes from our current internet isn't who can speak but what we can hear.

2) That is, we have given just about everyone enormous powers of surveilance.

<con't>
3) The experience of being on the other end of that surveillance, even though we bring it on ourselves, is a profoundly alienating one.

4) The reason it is so alienating is that it tickles but doesn't satisfy out most fundamental human desire, the desire to be recognized.

Bracketing for a moment that the premises of the so-called "replacement theory" or racist garbage, it's also just descriptively wrong about the priorities of the Democratic party.
I've been covering immigration for 15 years, and in that time the Democratic party has had unified control of WH and congress twice and I think odds are this time, like last time, they will not pass reform that legalizes the 11 million,
Not only that! Obama admin, quite famously, pursued an intense "enforcement-first" approach to the issue. And as I speak now, the Biden admin is shipping desperate Haitains back to Haiti.

Since I linked to @mattyglesias's piece arguing that people broadly doing politics should be thinking hard about who the audience is and who they are trying to persuade, I think it's also worth making basically the opposite argument.
This is an argument I'm recapitulating from @CoreyRobin from a post that doesn't seem to be up anymore. And it's about Judith Butler.
When I was an undergrad, Butler was the ultimate example of impenetrable, obscurantist academic prose that almost no one could read or understand. She won some "worst academic sentence" contest and people would use her writing as a kind of punchline example of jarongy nonsense.

Something @sahilkapur I touched tonight. The last time there was a big show-down between progressives and conservative Dems was on the ACA. And the conservatives won.
One of the main things they "won" on was reducing the amount of subsidies the government gave people for the plans they purchased on the exchanges. This made the bill "cost less" in a fiscal projection sense.
But it also made the experience of the law for many families *much worse*. The NUMBER ONE complaint I heard from people in the exchanges WITHOUT QUESTION was that that plans were too expensive.

A story from years ago that this piece made think of…. <1/x>
A few years out of college, I got a part-time gig in Chicago as an adjunct professor of English composition at a community college whose study body was almost entirely immigrants from Mexico and Latin America.
I was pretty in awe of the students: they all worked full time, most had kids and they were studying to achieve English language proficiency in speaking and writing. They worked exceptionally hard.
