“I’ve learned everything about this live streamer’s positions by reading about them” is such a hilarious out-of-touch admission of ignorance that is so on brand for Yglesias. Imagine saying “I’ve learned everything about this musician’s music by reading about them”

Deep dive into the employment law complaint against Mr. Beast. Fair warning — the place was worse than you could imagine.
