Ryan’s book Sedition Hunters is packed with bizarre, darkly funny stories like this. It’s also the best timeline of the lead-up to J6. Highly recommended

Today, I have the dubious honor of seeing an old article of mine linked in a write-up of a grim January 6 rioter case

(I interviewed Jay Johnston, alongside David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, almost exactly five years prior to the insurrection)

Bizarre times, y’all

Sorry, I lol’ed a little at one text that Jay Johnston sent soon after being at the insurrection: “It was a mess. Got maced and tear gassed and I found it quite untastic.”

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

Battle for "worst Trump-era cultural artifact" is intense, but I vote for this. Utterly mirthless show, Oscar-winning talent wasted on nothing, the "joke" is that Trump had a dumb idea.

Hochul "paused congestion pricing because it doesn’t poll well. It didn’t poll well before it was instituted in London or Stockholm, either, where it has been solving gridlock, increasing bus ridership and reducing asthma rates. Opinion shifted in those cities after residents saw the benefits."

honestly I think "hush money" is more powerful for normies understanding the narrative. "Paying off a porn star you had an affair with" is something that SOUNDS like it'd be illegal even tho its not, while "using business funds to pay campaign expenses" sounds like a mixup even tho it's very illegal
