In the aftermath of Jordan Neely's killing, there has been an enormous amount of speculation about what the other people on the train who watched him die were thinking. In an effort to find out, I talked to a few of them:

So if I'm reading this right, Ginni Thomas was secretly paid by a conservative nonprofit that was involved in some most important SCOTUS cases over the last few decades, including the case that gutted the Voting Rights Act?

lol I knew about the Wikipedia editor with 90,000+ edits, almost exclusively fixing the phrase "comprised of", but what I did not know about was his 5,300-word essay on why he's done that for 15 years

A 30-year-old man died on the subway on Monday after he was placed in a chokehold, the police said. Witnesses said the victim had been acting in a “hostile and erratic manner” toward passengers on the train when the other man, 24, moved to restrain him. nyti.ms/3nnP0RL

in both of these cases the issues have been nothing to do with unionization and everything to do with disconnected executive groups that were easily distracted by new fads. They didn't focus on profitability or product. Like this is really well documented

Texas abortion laws working exactly as intended
Quote Tweet
Remember the Texas man who sued his wife's friends after they helped her get abortion pills? He found the pill in his wife's purse while secretly searching it, then put it back—he wanted her to take it so he could then blackmail her into staying with him. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2379

"Air Mail goes for $79.99 a year, though students and educators get the first year free — a kind but deeply strange discount that suggests a longing for details about the sex lives of aging restaurateurs not typically seen among students or educators."

Honestly, the catchphrase “Rejected our proposal. Refused to make a counter.” could use some punch-up. But that’s how the studios responded to many proposals that would help provide stability to writers. This isn’t good-faith negotiating by the AMPTP. They forced us to strike.

The concept of "selling out" only makes sense in a world where being authentic can still reliably get you a decent life. It's premised off the idea that what you already have is perfectly fine but you're selling your soul for more. We don't have that "perfectly fine" now.

my most Gen X-coded belief is that although there is probably no way of clawing it back, we lost something important when the concept of “selling out” vanished twitter.com/parabasis/stat…

The true story of digital media from 2010-2023 is one of megalomaniacal publishers and EICs taking investment money hand over fist to grow operations with no real way to make that money back. Journalists trusting business minders with this is a satire-level industrywide failure.

i guess "cultural wedge issue" is one way to say a coordinated effort to systematically deny trans people their constitutionally guaranteed rights and to do everything possible to erase them from public life and society at large
Quote Tweet
NBC NEWS POLL: 76% of Democrats say the U.S. hasn't "gone far enough" in accepting transgender Americans, while 79% of Republicans say it's gone "too far."
@chucktodd : "Republicans are hoping to turn this ... into a cultural wedge issue like they did on same-sex marriage."
