@atrupar Classy answer. Could have been a windmill dunk but kept it light and casual

I think the thing that drives me maddest about norms on the left - and, I suspect, one of the biggest things that drives people to the right - is the "infinite tolerance of sweeping group critiques for me, zero tolerance of sweeping group critiques for thee" approach.

If you are in an Oppressor Group there are circles that expect you to nod along patiently as people say your group sucks in ways that would lead to your permanent and unconditional exile if said in much, much milder form about Oppressed Groups.

This in particular is why I think there's a trope of white people being extremely uncomfortable with conversations about race. A lot of white people just sort of tacitly avoid conversations about race because "let's talk about race" means "let's explain why white people are bad in various ways, and don't even think about applying the same scrutiny we're approaching this with across the board."

And the thing is, this has really bad effects on the factual environment. You get people who have all absorbed more-or-less the same baseline set of factoids that they can throw out - redlining! that one study with black doctors! Black Wall Street! - that have been created and disseminated in an environment where only information supporting one specific frame is discussed. "Let's talk about race" means "let's enter that frame," unless you're in the online right and then it means "let's do the same thing with the polarity reversed and become white identitarians."

There is much, much less space for serious conversation about these topics because these asymmetric norms are so ubiquitous in discussing them, and many, many people deal with it simply by not touching the topics at all.

"Hey, Ms. Romer -- it's Jon Bailey. I'm a producer at Fox News Sunday. Any interest in coming on this week?"

"I don't know -- what will we discuss?"

"We'd like your help recording a campaign ad for every Republican candidate in every election, for free."

"Yes, I'd love to!"

I don't understand James Gunn.

The entire cinematic DC universe gets rebooted and he focuses on Creature Commandos, Supergirl, Mr. Terrific, Clayface, and fucking Jimmy Olsen.

The boring truth is that we know the names of the politicians who overperform with working class voters — it’s Josh Shapiro in PA, Roy Cooper & Josh Stein & Don Davis in NC, Vincente Gonzalez & Henry Cuellar in Texas, Gallego/Kelly/Hobbs in AZ, Whitmer/Slotkin in MI.

If I've learned anything over the last few years it's that actually "HR lady" politics work pretty well.

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

Alito is very obviously retiring, they just jumped the gun posting it. He will be replaced by a 30 year old Federalist society hack who will be on the bench for 40 years.

Again, the results of everyone's actions in 2016 will doom the country for decades and decades.

[Salt ⁶𓅓 @SaltyMusicStan]

Remember how Jay Z tried to start a press run right before iceman saying rap beef is whack and we shouldn’t be doing that

And when that failed he doubled back and started dissing Drake Nicki and more on stage 2 weeks later?

Cause I do

This take aged well

[Objective Subjectivity @TrustMyEars]

That baseball entendre was NASTY. To me that’s probably the best bar on ICEMAN. Make Them Remember has a couple more that’s ridiculous. I will never understand niggas that act like Drake ain’t an elite rapper.

The New Yorker exposé of the Tate brothers is long but essential reading. These men are cartoonishly evil; if a novelist invented them, it would feel like hack writing. I'm going to share a paywall-free link in the next tweet, because as many people as possible need to read this.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

"You're f****** crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your a***. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."

That's what a U.S. official tells Axios President Trump unloaded on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a heated phone call over Israel's military actions in Lebanon.

Trump was reportedly furious that Israel's moves risked blowing up U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region, at one point also asking Netanyahu: "What the f*** are you doing?"

Crazy detail in day 2 of the Minnesota GOP Convention

[BLA$$$IC 💿✌🏿 @blassicliberal]

The beef was bad for Hip hop and it was Hip Hop media’s fault.

Instead of being impartial they decided to a prisoner of the moment. Pick sides and play culture games.

Media can never hold itself accountable so they have to double down in ridiculous ways. Like implying Drake is MAGA, secretly supports ICE and his 👌🏿album cover is a white supremacist dog whistle.

It’s QANON level unhinged. Anyone with common sense can see through the BS.
