A lot of factors have contributed to the decline in public discourse, but we have reached a point where people who don't know much on an issue think it's a "waste" of time to talk to people who have devoted their lives to an issue if the person rejects a few key premises. https://t.co/U3d5uEv0fH— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) June 28, 2023

horrified by this post by josh barro titled "Grilling Is Still Bad ā Here's What to Do Instead"
it's not so much the anti-grilling stance--which i disagree with but also whatever--it's the recipes he recommends to cook for a summer backyard instead
on a hot summer day, make a platter of roast pork tenderloin

"What could say āsummerā more than that?" <- actual quote
next up is...baked fish
https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff022fcb3-0e62-46ef-a315-76e284a2e4bd.heic
he also recommends pork stew and chickpea stew lol
i'm sure these taste fine, but they all seem really heavy and dry, and using your oven in the summer is just insane

i always thought of josh barro as the poshest of the centrist wonks. or at least on the opposite end of the spectrum from slovenly yglesias. gay, manhattanite, clean-cut menswear style, seems to be a bit of a socialite. so it threw me off that he was like "come to my place in august and i will serve you baked fish"

he really twisted around the words in that podcast that were specifically about hamburgers and then didnāt make one himself. sus

by far the most popular sport in the world
Iām sure this is a simpleton take but just like MLB made baseball more popular this year by finally taking crude measures to speed up the game, I feel like soccer would be more exciting if the pitch were somewhat smaller so there were more shots.— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) July 29, 2023

dont get me wrong i have some soccer rule change ideas but theyre for making the sport better not more popular
that's the most blatant troll for engagement i've seen recently
i guess it's made him rich but he also kinda seems to get off on being called an idiot

So did Matty say this after Hanananaās racist and anti semitic group texts were discovered?
― Chevy Chase drumming mystery (Boring, Maryland), Sunday, 6 August 2023 15:02 (ten months ago) link
no but his official work is also explicitly racist (and it was pseudonymous articles not texts)
― lagān, Sunday, 6 August 2023 15:07 (ten months ago) link
Nah, he doesn't give a shit
But what is the error in judgment? Was I running around vouching for Hananiaās good character? Assuring people heās not racist? Heās clearly quite racist! But I also think heās written some good pieces and itās important to read conservatives.— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) August 6, 2023

The key thing here is that Yglesias thinks of the revanchist & racist right as part of his universe of discourse, people who are wrong on some stuff but worth engaging with. By contrast, for him left & left-liberals beyond the pale. pic.twitter.com/sjUAC4Yw1E— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) August 6, 2023
