Bouie has no obligation to write about anything except what tickles his fancy, like recent movies or cereal. My point is that he's asking people to care about something he clearly didn't care about.
Bouie called me an idiot because he's lost his power to dominate discourse. I feel bad for him because he clearly finds politics boring, but his ambition dominates him so thoroughly he can't actually pursue his real passions.
Elon Musk is clearly masking a change he wants to make by being totally unreasonable. He’ll eventually back off slightly and people will think he’s listened. That and he doesn’t want to pay bills because he likes money.
Musk spent $44 billion to buy Twitter and then tried to save money by laying off half the staff, including engineers responsible for maintaining site infrastructure. Like buying a Ferrari and trying to save money by skipping oil changes.
A recent attempted takedown of 'deliverism' uses Democratic initiatives like the ACA to illustrate that delivering on policies doesn't equal more voters. @ddayen.bsky.social and @matthewstoller.bsky.social argue that the ACA never delivered, so it can’t be used as a test case.
