david brooks vs. thomas friedman vs. ross douthat

the podcast "know your enemy" had douthat on as a guest and my opinion of them went way down.

hell yeah man

Tom Friedman is on CNN right now saying the best case scenario is Biden winning and Republicans holding the senate so both will be forced to compromise.

LOL.

Encanto is the best Disney since Moana but also its fifth movie in a row without a meaningful love story; decadence continues:https://t.co/Qr7oe9VLRp

Twitter has time today.

i wish ross would explain how it is that he is participating in the workforce given his lack of any skills or talents

blame roe v. wade

One reason I think "op-ed writer at major newspaper" should be something various people should get to do a few times a year, tops, rather than be a few people's full-time job is the staggering intellectual laziness it too often facilitates and encourages. pic.twitter.com/ApVBnYZj4J

the recent Roe news has really given Doubthat a chance to outshine the other two in the dipshit Olympics

still time for someone with the "music will get better after Roe is overturned" take

or one of those aborted fetuses could have been the next Cobain

I am curious what kind of ‘truce’ on abortion @DouthatNYT has in mind here. Because I literally can’t imagine one that would be workable in the current moment. pic.twitter.com/ruirrXDEry

Israel and Hungary, huh

weirdo

A proposed screening Q for the next GOP administration: Is Swift-Kelce --
(a) a sweet thing to watch and maybe the last best hope for America, we need them to marry and procreate
(b) a psy-op to get NFL fans to get booster shots and vote for Democrats
no (b)s need apply

— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) January 29, 2024

lol Stephen Miller would probably choose a)

Truly wish Lyme would have just killed him.

we need them to marry and procreate

normal!

c. *monday night football song starts playing*

it is kinda funny that b is more true than a but its not "a psy-op" its just a contrived celebrity relationship like theyve been doing in hollywood for 100 years

they're both gay?

if youve never looked into the taylor swift conspiracysphere and are interested in such things then i can recommend it

gaylor has been pretty much canon on tumblr for at least a decade

I'm pretty sure the smiley football guy op is damage control for the Matty Healy op

taylors been getting in the news for her boyfriends for 15 year now but this one is next level, multiple appearances on the most watched tv show of the week, travis kelce is booking credit card commercials, everyones winning

Celebrity creampies that can save America's bipartisan consensus.

everyones winning

i'm getting a bit tired of winning so much

Wow I had no idea all that MAGA Taylor Swift stuff was a thing. Kinda wish I still didn’t know.

Eh, it's better than when they thought she was an Aryan goddess awhile back.

On the recent grasping of Swift conspiracy by the dumbass misogynist Charlie Kirk types:

…To be acceptable in this strange crowd you gotta believe getting vaccinated is unmanly, you gotta believe Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are nefarious plants to elect Joe Biden, you gotta believe all sorts of foods and activities will make you too feminine, but that a man can ever be a woman. And so on and so forth. This set of beliefs, always paired with the need for dominant and potentially violent manhood, contributes to more and more men viewing unhealthy, dangerous masculinity and fascist beliefs as core parts of their identity. And this wave of young men is shifting right in their political beliefs. But while we can’t deny the danger of this shift, and the danger of men being taught to hate women, as evidenced by the link between domestic violence and mass shootings, there is a real possibility that this sharp edge of patriarchy can only go so far. These misogyny influencers have done and will do serious damage, but sharpen the patriarchy too much and it gets brittle and fragile. Sharpen it too much, as these men are doing, and you begin to lose people. You begin to demand too much and men start to drop off.
