Just watched Robert Eggers’s The Witch for the umpteenth time, and feeling more impressed than ever by how skilfully he makes the idea of witchcraft seem plausible, likely even, as god- and devil-fearing 17C folk are gradually overwhelmed by anxiety, conflict and domestic chaos.

To repeat this point again, the reason to take down Confederate monuments is they were erected explicitly as monuments to white supremacy.

Want to say again that it is insane that a margin of thousands in a few arbitrary geographic units was the difference between victory and defeat for a candidate who won the overall vote by millions (and counting).

It is so strange to me that much of the press is framing the shutdown as a stand off between two sides who need to compromise when only one of those sides is actually demanding anything and the other has already voted to reopen the government with no strings attached.

It seems like the only available move for Democrats is to a) Go on a public relations blitz hyping the “McConnell rule” and trying to tie marginal Republican senators to it and b) levy a credible threat of court packing if the seat is filled before January 2021.

So let’s see if I’ve got this straight: When crowds chant “Lock her up” toward Hillary, it is illiberal and anti-American. (I agree). But when crowds chant the same toward Trump, it is suddenly a fulsome exercise of sacred First Amendment rights. What hypocritical clowns.
