I’m opposed to blanket bans on “sports and politics” & “pop culture and politics” takes, but I would be more opposed to them if most such takes weren’t dashed-off thumbsuckers, lorem ipsum lurking beneath clickbait HEDs, displaying deep knowledge of neither politics nor sports

That said, another website or series of websites drifting toward Salon-hood is one more canary in a coal mine (how many need to expire?) for an entire industry (small though it is in relative numbers) that fortunately now furnishes only my “fun money”

I’ve spent half a lifetime leaving fields that were on the way out ... academia and journalism, I hardly knew ya. It was real, it was fun, but it wasn’t real fun!

I hustled those takes, but hustling 500 takes is like benching 400 pounds ... who cares? People either don’t care what that means or will claim they or some acquaintance has done so much more. It’s fascinating !

This... is an interesting... take. And here I thought I heard all the rationalizations but apparently not. Some of these columnists should give talking to people in the middle of the country a try... you know, ask why they voted the way they did

Yeah, they've made up their mind about us. Living only in ones bubble is the quickest way to expand animosity. Shoot, I'm guilty myself. I tend to have pretty strong anti-feminist views, but I find myself chatting with many of them here on Twitter about all the Trans stuff
