Here’s the full interview; I was worried we weren’t given the full quote, but seems accurate. The context was anti-Semitism. Doesn’t make it any better. She goes on to talk about the attack on Josh Shapiro’s official residence. [Starts around 12:17] https://t.co/mZZnWngwXO https://t.co/xNiETiYN2Q

Isn’t it time to stop having on pols (eg Cox) to filter the evidence for us? Just give us the evidence. We’re grown-ups and can assess it for ourselves. Cox may have an agenda.

Her quote of Kirk was wrong, in a significant way. Others made the same mistake (i.e. not checking out something too bad to be true). I bet I’ve made similar mistakes. This seems like a case of firing someone whom you’ve wanted to fire for a long time (maybe for good reason). https://t.co/IJt1b0Tta9

Reminds me of the ’90s debate about welfare, where smart liberal pundits argued it wasn’t really about welfare, it was about worker feelings of alienation and disempowerment, etc.. Yeah, yeah. But it was mainly about welfare. People hated welfare because people hated welfare. One https://t.co/qe6RHOb5Zh

“This is about something bigger than immigration slogans …” Sometimes a protest about immigration is a protest about immigration. Going BigThink (“Karl Polanyi, writing in The Great Transformation…”) to talk about grander issues that won’t be solved soon can a classy way to https://t.co/lQjOSOkX0y

COSTCO, one of the too-few institutions where Americans of all classes meet as equals, has started an “exclusive” executive tier. So far it’s pretty tame– “executive” customers get some earlier shopping hours. No Disney-like special lanes, but the night is young

Conquest’s 2d Law applies to AI too. Who knew? https://t.co/sVrVMmUCSx [Except in this case, an AI that *was* pretty explicitly right-wing has turned left wing–I assume because what it reads is left-wing or the people under Musk who run it are left-wing) https://t.co/itEQAXMPPM

It’s incredible the # of respectable Dems who have bought into this “ultra-MAGA” theory. Seems to me there’s a very low probability that it’s true. Evidence seems weak. https://t.co/suqd0mBIan

See also this Liss follow-up piece, on the heroics of a paramedic whose license had expired and who’d struggled with addiction, but who put on his medic shirt & went down to see if he could help. Oliver Stone did him wrong. @Slate’s charging for this too. https://t.co/jCaV1Tk4Eu https://t.co/zGQT1m5GVt

In all the chaos I forgot the annual 9/11 link to Rebecca Liss’ moving article on rescue of 2 people from the rubble by a bunch of non-professionals. For a time I believe this was the most read piece in @Slate. I can’t believe they’re charging for it. https://t.co/D6ORlquzhJ https://t.co/C9TJZrHwAz

It’s been 48 hours (cooling off period) so it’s OK to piss on @MatthewJDowd. This tweet holds up. He blocked me long ago for the sort of criticism that Charlie Kirk would have just answered. https://t.co/OcU6sTeOa9

BEAST: Gardner, write a post saying the shooter might not have been a lefty.
GARDNER: Is there any evidence he wasn’t?
BEAST: He drove a Dodge Challenger.
