I don’t think this definition of “scromiting” would have passed the sniff test at The New York Times or The Washington Post if they had read it. Which leads me to believe that they didn’t read it before reporting it.

Wrote an autopsy of Platner's campaign for @TheArgumentMag. Platner was already a liability for Democrats before the rape allegation, but polling shows that it wasn't because of the tattoo or Reddit. It was the infidelity.

Not a coincidence that the people who grew up with the internet are doing *orders of magnitude* worse when it comes to emotional well-being.

Today at @TheArgumentMag we're publishing something very different.
A mother in Georgia wrote to us after her IUD failed. Her email said:
