From 36.4% to 77.6%

Incredible. Speechless.

Watching the coverage on Sportsnet (Canada). One of things I’m really impressed by is how many Blue Jays cite playing for the country of Canada as opposed to just a city. These are players from everywhere but Canada.

I don’t think the city is going to get much sleep this evening. The Blue Jays’ ALCS Championship party has flood into Front Street. What scenes.

“This is fucking unbelievable… I fucking love it here. These fans, you deserve all of this.” - John Schneider, World Series-bound Jays manager, and former Vancouver Canadians manager.

IT'S FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE FOR ME TOO

@axios is totally going to bat here for Republican complaints about the DOJ investigating the Jan 6th insurrection. Not even an acknowledgment here that it was an attempt to overthrow the govt itself and well worth investigating.

The left's rhetoric is out of control and inciting political violence. The right's rhetoric is unifying the country through heartfelt appeals to our common bonds as Americans.

Right-wing politics in 2025

What the what

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

The reason for this is that this class of people has internalized the idea of conservatives as the American Volk, an idea downstream of the senate and EC giving them more power than their numbers that has somehow become a quasi spiritual belief about the nature of the country

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

immigrant grocery store owner who voted for Trump to lower grocery prices and then got wrecked by tariffs. mfer you run a business called "Wong Kai Imports" what the hell did you think was gonna happen

In a specific way, Weiss tells the same story as Chris Rufo: I am exposing how rotten the institutions are. This is a very selective worldview that protects lots of institutional corruption by your billionaire sponsors. The contradictions are even harder to maintain when you run the institutions.

At the University of Austin, students are told to follow Chatham House Rules. But if you are an employee at an org with trans policies you object to, or DEI employees Trump has not fired yet, the Free Press wants you to betray the confidences of your colleagues. www.thefp.com/p/us-mint-co...

As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings. In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

She was legally declared a victim of a crime in a court of law, she was not an "accuser," she was a VICTIM

I mean he literally just appears to believe numbers are fake if he finds them confusing or disagreeable, and while this is a free country and that’s allowed, it’s an utterly disqualifying view for an economics reporter at the New York Times

I’m having PTSD flashbacks to this chapter of the vibecession debate. This guy is bizarrely incapable of understanding core components of his own beat and should be fired! If you don’t believe numbers have any meaning or understand how they’re made, you can’t cover economics! That’s the rule!

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

at its core, the leadership believes that the paper, not the facts, should get to set the agenda. this is one of the reasons why coverage of the *most prominent* stories - especially U.S. politics - is usually so bad at the Times, whereas its coverage of everything else is often very good

the NYT decides on its narratives and really, really has a hard time adjusting coverage to reality. it was the biggest pusher of 'resistance is dead', reflecting the general desire among the US establishment for Trump to be a punitive force against their critics. #nokings doesn't fit its story

genuinely insane to see an american presidential administration openly embracing the trappings of monarchy

I'll always remember Suzy Weiss as the high school student who wrote a racist anti-diversity letter to colleges (that her sister, then an editor at WSJ, got published in the newspaper), where she came off spoiled and entitled.

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

Sounds like it was pretty clear.

This is a moment in history when we really could in fact use a major American organization fighting antisemitism. But the ADL cannot be salvaged. Time to start anew.

You would think that if an American anti-antisemitism organization served any purpose, it would be to react strongly when the Vice President of the US defends people for praising Hitler. But you would in fact be wrong.
