Does Elaine Swann of the Swann School of Protocol in Carlsbad, Calif. not understand that there are also human beings (more of them!) sitting in the other parts of the airplane? Of course this story is designed to make everyone angry but it's amazing how it's completely organized on the baby/anti-baby axis while just taking it for granted that extra discomfort and suffering would naturally be dumped onto the people in coach nytimes.com/2022/12/27/tra…

"Even Google searches," imagine, like before deciding if something was or wasn't bullshit they went and searched the World Wide Web for information about it, how dare they "After a pause" of...26 seconds during which he typed 18 words, a rate of a little over 40 words per minute

Wait, wow, you thought—no, no, I said “it’s RIPoff from here”! The last thing a sportswriter would ever do is sketch out some performance expectations in advance and speculate about who would be to blame if those expectations weren’t met

Yep, nope, can’t see any dystopian medical policy happening here in the U.S.A., our vigorous right wing is here to prevent anyone from being subjected to coercion and suffering in the name of ideology Image Douthat once again walks right up to the moral imperative for material justice and veers away, the pleas of even the right-wing popes unable to penetrate the ideology stuffed into his ears ImageImage

Elon Musk likes to parrot his fash pals' pissing and moaning about the Bias Left-Wing Media but imagine if the New York Times were as interested in the question "Are too many Teslas wrecking themselves with fake self-driving?" as it is in "Are too many children transitioning?" What if the Tesla swerving and braking its way into that holiday weekend multi-car pileup on the Bay Bridge were on the front page in a Raises Concerns story?

Fox dropped the crime coverage as soon as the election was over, because that was just nonsense to boost Republicans. They're still doing the LGBTQ stuff—even though voters didn't care about it in the midterms, even after the massacre—because they want gay and trans people dead. "Dan White Society" was young Tucker Carlson's joke about how it's funny to murder gay people. This is what he's about.

The Mastodon thing has helped me finally name the painful divide in this world between the (kind! good-hearted!) people who are like, "It's super simple, you can just configure it however you want" and those of us for whom that's more or less the opposite of what simple means. Like, my dude, I just want to type words in the box, with no Nazis Image

Congratulations to Josh Barro on concocting an even smarmier and dumber version of the Shadi Hamid take than Shadi Hamid’s version You are bleeding from a torn artery and yet you’re asking the emergency room doctors to put more blood into the same circulatory system that’s spilling the blood you have, obviously you don’t care about the blood issue at all

By “not especially strong” you mean “false about the factual particulars that were his entire framework for saying who the troops would or wouldn’t target” Image Looking forward to the Chait piece defending Republicans sending armed vigilantes to ballot drop boxes, since all they’re doing by their own account is making sure none of Dinesh D’Souza’s ballot mules get through
