How can a “smart” guy think ideological homogeneity does not produce an indoctrinating environment, whether intentional or not.

If ever there was a false distinction …

@business That about one-fourth of new H1B workers earn $77K or less is an indication that they are not must-import workers.

@AntiLeftMemes At least you got the American people smart part right.

@TheEconomist Yes, that’s why his associates tried to shield communications from FOIA review. All-around upright guys.

@real_Caroline_K Actually, I can imagine one obvious downside. Would you have been willing to meet with the additional grieving families whose loved ones had been murdered or raped by criminal illegal immigrants?

@CO2Coalition Who isn’t being targeted by climate alarmists?

@nickshirleyy @elonmusk Fortunately, likely unconstitutional, but the court costs might get you, or maybe you can crowd fund them.

@r0ck3t23 @elonmusk It’s the Pauline Kael effect.

@ForeignAffairs It’s not that the U.S. fails to respect Europe’s interests. Rather, it is Europe—with a few notable exceptions in Central Europe—that fails to respect the interests of its own people.

@BastKathryn @GBNEWS True, but it points to absurd lengths society has to go through to keep people reasonably in line.

[C.M. Compton @C_M_Compton]

@ClayTravis Yes, but they are also a perfect example of Doctorow’s enshittification. I go through a gauntlet of crap before I can watch what I want to watch.

@SykesGaltRacing @jenvanlaar @GavinNewsom @AGRobBonta Unless you kill the man who rapes your daughter. You’ll end up dead or in the big house for the rest of your life.

@WordFits @FT More cowbell please.

@ThChaosCrusader @FT And crazy people who only want eligible voters to vote.

@Cactusface253 @FT Don’t forget Lepanto.

@ChowRabbit @FT Don’t forget Crusader Rabbit.

@Blightykid @FT We should be proud to be radicals — the new disestablishmentarians.

@Alex05247310107 @FT In my favorite story about a knight, Don Quixote actually meets an impostor of himself—a riff on the unauthorized sequel published by Avellaneda. Cervantes even borrows a character from Avellaneda’s book and has him certify that his Don Quixote is the real one.
