Standing up for something, getting attacked for it and having your prospects threatened, but holding fast and sticking to it instead of running in tears to some magazine or podcast that'll pat you on the head and say "oh, you poor thing." Courage. Resolve. Imagine that.

Those of us who write give ourselves a lot of grief every now and then about how difficult it is to produce work that feels adequate to the moment, but I think a lot of what's going on may be literally too stupid for words.

This is deeply silly. Asking someone why life-saving coronavirus treatment should be free and not life-saving cancer treatment shouldn't isn't an untoward attack in any sense and everybody knows it.

Kamala Harris’s mother was a cancer researcher who died of cancer. This is Bernie Sanders’ National press secretary attacking her, for some reason:

Just days ago, a Republican congressman went to Auschwitz, met with a far-right group, and said that he wanted a second opinion from non-Jews about how bad the Nazis were.

Why? Why would you bring in a for-profit company just to make accessing the IRS more complicated? Why force people to give them sensitive information? Who are they? What kind of country are we running here?

My hot take on this is that Donald Trump is an extraordinarily bad person who is hurting a lot of people and committing crimes and that he should not be allowed even a single good PR day if at all possible.

@ComfortablySmug It really amazing how many Libs can't even permit Trump to have *one good day* (nobody will remember this stuff by Tuesday) after US forces kill perhaps the world's most wanted terrorist.

"Replacement theory" would be less of a problem if it did not offer a compelling explanation of why Democrats are trying to open the southern border to as many migrants as possible and offer them a "path to citizenship" and voting. Note: no one ever provides a better explanation.

Again: An entire block of moderate House Dems ran explicitly on replacing Pelosi last year. But Public Enemy #1 is the chief of staff for a progressive that defended and voted for her.

Congrats to the admissions forum posters. Those with helicopter parents, the SAT score maxxers. This ruling is for you. Merit gets you into the Ivies now. If you don't, you are simply too dumb and too boring. The main obstacle has been removed. Lots of luck in your senior year.

One of the big contrarian arguments people used to make on here was that deplatforming people reliably makes them stronger somehow. Lots of examples now demonstrating that this isn't true, but I've never seen anyone who said it reevaluate their position.
