It could be a cool holiday thing to do, like maybe have a 4th of July nationally televised triple header where the first game starts at 12 pm ET, but doing this on a random Wednesday just ensures that absolutely no one will watch

I’ve decided that if a TV show recap podcast episode is more than 2x the length of the TV episode it’s recapping, I’m just not gonna listen. There’s no way you have that much interesting stuff to say about S3E5 of Star Trek: TNG

For an example of a prominent leftist who is taking Project 2025 seriously enough, check out this video essay from Leeja Miller (>400k YouTube subs). Also note the upload date

I don't get it when people point out that Project 2025 is "nothing new." Yes, obviously, right-wingers have been fanatics for decades. They were blowing up abortion clinics and shooting doctors when I was a kid. But, as you may have noticed, their political vision has kind of been coming together.

Project 2025 and Heritage have stuck to Trump and the GOP in ways seemingly no other issue has. It's the first time I've seen them play actively defensive on an issue instead of brushing it off.

I sometimes see people discuss the American left as being intrinsically self-sabotaging, and it feels like any discussion that doesn't factor in the extent to which the mainstream reflexively shuts out and frequently actively crushes leftist activism is wilfully naive.

Among the many evils of "crisis pregnancy centers": they are not medical providers and so do not follow HIPAA or medical privacy ethics. Instead, they gleefully give away (to right-wing orgs) and sell (to data brokers) all information you give them. They should be illegal.

sorry but this is just wrong. yes, there’s a bad faith media feeding frenzy. but *fifty million* people watched Biden sputter his way through that debate. it is not a creation of the media, it is a real problem.

I used to dabble in employment discrimination law, and I remember seeing a few scattered “anti-white” discrimination cases once in a blue moon, but it was never as coordinated/organized as it is now. More lawyers should be sounding the alarm about this in the profession
