There's a certain kind of person who sincerely holds to, roughly, "Woke 1 was crazy, but if you actually said Woke 1 was crazy DURING Woke 1, that's very suspicious".

@politicalmath @MaxNordau @MargBarAmerica He “weaponized” a political question for having a view on it as governor, implementing policies in response to it as governor, and then talking about it when asking to be re-elected as governor.

@TMZ Did the annual fee go up?

[Jeremy Horpedahl 🥚📉 @jmhorp]

Wages have increased faster than grocery prices since 2024, whereas in the prior two years it was the reverse. So it is not contradictory to have thought there was an affordability problem in 2024, but not think so today

@omgsidewalks This is a libel of the poor.

@Biaggi4NY I often talk about this with President Kerry.

@ajlamesa No dice. We already hide a lot of taxes; we aren’t hiding that one, too.

@BillKristol “At the same time.” Incredible stuff, as usual.

I can’t believe how many people tell me my "messaging" is bad. Who gives a shit!? I’m not a politician, and either are you. Just say what you think is true.

The real victims of the Cambridge scandal are the students, who signed up to learn “inclusive pedagogy and decolonising the curriculum within the academy,” and instead learned totally made up nonsense.

Conservatives are not well represented in academia because conservatism is, for the most part, the ideology of the incurious. Abortion is bad because the Bible said so. Immigrants are bad because Fox News said so. Capitalism is good because Reagan said so

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

The Arday story is funny, but it remains the case that, like Claudine Gay, the most embarrassing thing about it is the academic work that he *didn't* plagiarize.

[Jesse Singal @jessesingal]

Daniel Engber of The Atlantic got hold of Jason Arday's book proposal and there's some amazing stuff in there that didn't make it into the book, including three months in a locked-in coma that basically deleted his memory.

@Alicia_Smith19 Insane wasted opportunity.

Also, if you actually tour around Denmark or Norway, you see first-hand that their living standards are very low by U.S. standards.

Go to their grocery stores and see for yourself.

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

@ColinTheLefty Yes. I see how silly this sounds.

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

@VladDeeImpaler @cremieuxrecueil @davefobare That’s Raich.

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

@SteveGaudio @cremieuxrecueil Nope. That’s a myth.

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

@LoganDobson Thanks.
