Yes, Harris is thoughtful, prepared, and clear. But her facial expressions may turn off some male voters.

Further clowning on this theme … what if a second happy album comes in TWO WEEKS? (Can’t stop won’t stop clowning on Fortnight and two)
What if—hear me out—there really ARE two albums, one a post-mortem on the dead relationship, and a surprise one celebrating the new?

.@RadioFreeTom Read with interest your recommendation in the Atlantic newsletter for Robert Parker's series (love it). Have you read Dennis Lehane's wonderful Kenzie and Gerrano series? Great writing and plots, set in the '90s and early aughts in Boston as well.

Or, and I know this sounds impossible, the silent middle thinks you guys are a bunch of kooks and weirdos obsessed with sex because the girls in high school shunned you.

This. A million times. This.
My prayer for US political journalism: Stop trying to predict election outcomes. Stop treating polling like science. Center the voices of voters. And focus on policy proposals and policy outcomes—not the horserace. #electionday

look all I can say is that in Sept a Minnesota Indivisible leader told me they were gonna flip the state senate because the only thing people wanted to talk about on the doors in purple districts was abortion and in retrospect that was more prescient than 90% of national pundits

I honestly think male pundits assumed women are so ditzy and easily distracted that we would forget we'd be forced to give birth against our wishes.

Results in Michigan and Kentucky (after Kansas) suggest that it may be possible to relegalize abortion rights in a number of red states by getting referenda on the ballot on 2024 in states have have referenda/propositions.

Here's the thing about "free speech," Elon, you can say whatever you'd like. We don't have to listen. Neither do your advertisers. Welcome to America.
Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Multiple advertisers have confirmed they are pausing spending while they see what direction Elon Musk takes with the platform. "The growing exodus of advertisers comes amid concerns Musk will scale back misinformation and security protections on the platform." theguardian.com/technology/202…

Think of it this way: If Democratic inspired assassin broke into Mitch McConnell's home, beat Elaine Chao with hammer, and President Obama & Chris Hayes & leading Democratic Senators cracked jokes about it, made up absurd stories of gay lovers: It would be the *only news* of day.

Opinion | I earn ninety percent of my income from warning about the dangers to free speech on college campuses. Here’s why I have nothing to say about the Univesity of Florida banning indoor protests.
