Seems to me there's been way less shaming than you'd expect. And shame seems a better way to punish profiteers, in this case, than cumbersome regs or prosecutions. https://t.co/SFJM0ghBrx

The most important thing about the relationship of Trumpian autocracy and "cancel culture," it seems to me, is this:
The autocracy didn't happen.
The cancel culture did.

Not worried about the meritocrats who get "best jobs." Worried about semi-meritocrats and non-meritocrats–esp. those who need "non college jobs" that don't involve being the meritocrats' servants. If those jobs flee to suburbs a big deal (esp. to progressive/BLM constituency). https://t.co/A07HnYuqxg

Well … if fraud runs both ways, it's still fraud. Point is to minimize the opportunities for fraud. Mail-in voting opens them up, even if they've yet to be fully exploited. https://t.co/ghembIOf4X

"BLUE-ICIDE": Do now-ascendant urban/pregressive/BLM activists realize that the unfortunate consequence will be that much of the existing urban middle class … decides to get the hell as far away from their cities as possible? Joel Kotkin is more polite: https://t.co/ioN4TQHSN1

Did taxpayers really need to bailout David Boies' firm, @pMarca's startups, the Gersh Agency or the Mitchell Silberberg law firm? https://t.co/rYX0XmxrGm and https://t.co/14IeuWwnDS You'd think there'd be more outrage. Why not? Because liberal Dems & Trumpers are all in on it?

Worried about attracting the attention of @SteveSchmidtSES 's Lincoln Project Death Star. I figure once it has vaporized every Republican in the US Senate except Mitt Romney he'll start in on Congressmen, then pro-Trump reporters, then bloggers. Then, finally, Normalcy Year Zero! https://t.co/RxF1e3x6gD

National Enquirer on Bing suicide not totally uninteresting –they don't take the expected 'he was killed by the people who wanted Epstein silenced' line. Truth value highly uncertain! Has a bit of the old "I Killed Gig Young" quality–the cover line is way beyond the piece.

.@RichardRushfield notes the sheer lassitude of most LA media re Steve Bing': "When you want to talk about teams that don't seem hungry to win? If the local and trade press can't elicit a little curiosity and enthusiasm to jump on a story like this …" https://t.co/1xrXBMnQTA
