Which is it? Platner is just a big stupid baby who shouldn't be expected to even be able to walk and talk at the same time, or he's the best choice for Maine's senator race.

If youâre shrugging off anti-semitism and misogyny but âleftistlyâ that doesnât make you better than someone who does that but on the right. It makes you the same. Being âprogressiveâ but at the expense of people who arenât you is incompatible.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

It is only a nudge nudge to the extreme right? Because it certainly also doesnât seem to be disqualifying to a bunch of people who claim to be progressives.

One thing I will never understand even if I had infinite lifetimes is how we can have this beautiful world of mountains, oceans, forests, deserts, wildlife and wonder and humans just want to find ways to destroy it and each other.

Fine. I've started a newsletter. For now, it will mainly be weekly updates on what I'm up to -- what I'm working on, what (if anything) I've published, what I'm reading, that kind of thing. Maybe if there's something I'm dying to blog about, I'll do it. We'll see!

Stop asking us to extend grace to people who âaccidentallyâ QT Nazis on Twitter. They choose to continue to be there and are therefore responsible for what they do there. People you like still need to behave like adults for Peteâs sake.

I worked with polio survivors who lost months to years of their childhood in iron lungs, many of whom were permanently paralyzed and required breathing apparatus. I dare this man to say this to any of their faces. More disgraceful work from the Atlantic to give him a soft focus profile.

You're not some kind of mockable naĂŻf for not knowing everything about everyone, and you're also not a mockable naĂŻf for being disappointed when you learn something you celebrated was accomplished by disappointing people. People want to enjoy things, and feel good about that enjoyment.
