declining to pay a bloodthirsty podcast personality millions of dollars a year to celebrate political assassinations or agitate for further violence is not “cancel culture.” that was just called being a normal ethical human being until five minutes ago.

The notion that we're all born blank slates will probably be with us forever. It's a belief that's essentially immovable no matter the quality or quantity of evidence against it. The goalpost can and will always be moved. All we can ever hope to do is manage its most damaging consequences.
The gender binary is made up. Not “on these things.” Just in general. It’s a social construct. Completely made up concept. You aren’t born liking different things because you’re a boy. Your interests are a direct result of your socialization and upbringing.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sex differences in interests and toy preferences emerge early in infancy and parallel patterns in nonhuman primates, indicating biological factors alongside socialization. Meta-analyses document large consistent differences in things- versus people-oriented interests.

I still marvel that the Dirtbag LEFT was pretty much co-opted by The Botox Intifada and that act is just pretty much the mainstream standard fair over there now.

I repeatedly noted during the campaign that El-Sayed’s central message was a lie.
He kept saying he wants to stop military aid to Israel to focus on spending money here. He was absurdly blaming affordability on that aid. Putting aside that the military aid was already being spent in America (at defense companies), it was also clear that he actually supported sending many more tax dollars to UNRWA and other foreign groups. Which doesn’t help Americans with affordability at all.
Unfortunately, much of the press never challenged him on this lie and now he can come out and admit it.

I talked to @AdamSinger a 20-year advertising and marketing veteran, about why everyone is quietly developing “AI psychosis” and doesn’t realize it, why Silicon Valley doesn't understand normal people, and how Boomers have no resistance to AI slop.

I transcribed all 35 sessions of @profound's Zero Click 2026 (SF, NYC and London: 9.3 hours, 94,700 words) and ran topic models over them to see what AI marketers actually spent their time on.
12 themes. One big idea: AI now reads about your brand before your customers do.

Actually, the opposite is likely to happen. Dems winning 54-55 Senate seats and a ton of House seats gives them enough room to heavily constrain the agitated progressives in the party. Further, the moderates are the overwhelming majority of the surprise winners tonight. Why is the narrative that left populists are the face of the future while the moderates aren't?

Haley Stevens was going to do a Democratic unity rally with Abdul El-Sayed and James Clyburn where she was going to encourage her supporters, many of whom have serious reservations about El-Sayed, to vote for him.
This was very important for El-Sayed, because Stevens is popular among Jewish and black Michigan Democrats and Clyburn is an icon among black voters nationwide. El-Sayed has weakness with both of these groups and needs to shore them up going into election day.
Stevens's condition was that he make an unambiguous, unqualified condemnation of the antisemitic rhetoric his friends, supporters and surrogates have been using, including in ads run in Michigan.
El-Sayed refused to do this, and instead asked Stevens not to appear at the event. At that point, Stevens realized that he was not interested in unity with her or her supporters and that she could no longer support him for Senate.
El-Sayed is an antisemite. He is friends with antisemites Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur. He will not condemn them. He will not condemn the awful things they say.
He has had multiple opportunities to condemn their hateful rhetoric, and he always says: "He is not part of a campaign, nobody speaks for me but me, and I'm not here to talk about that."
That's not good enough. If that is how a Republican talked about Nick Fuentes or Richard Spencer, it would be the biggest controversy in the race. The fact that so many Democrats are willing to tolerate this from Abdul El-Sayed is an indictment of the entire party.
There is no coalition that can include both the Jewish Democratic members of Temple Israel and supporters of the Hezbollah terrorist who tried to murder their preschool children. Abdul El-Sayed made a decision about who he wanted in his tent.
Haley Stevens was late to realize it, but it is admirable that she finally decided to be an upstander instead of a bystander. No Nazis in the US Senate.

Again, the Democratic Party is run like a liberal arts college campus where the staffers and students believe they are in charge and hold the power over the Representatives and professors. It's an institutionalized staffing problem.

You should IPO in the Netherlands! Sure, the taxes are higher, but the regulations are also stricter. You'll need to fulfill diversity quotas but you also submit 50,000 pages a year of environmental impact studies. There's less capital here but also you pay $5b/yr in fines.

For my latest, I quoted El-Sayed's exact statements that match the 'grocery' ad that everyone agrees is anti-Semitic. Just to be clear that you cannot find one acceptable and the other beyond the pale: commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

I’ve been a university professor for 15 years, political economy, Duke University, pro-capitalist, thus a minority, and can attest that for decades these schools have price-gouged & indoctrinated millions of students. They’ve destroyed instead of developed young human capital. Deliberately. So a majority of millions would rule and vote socialist. As is happening. Utterly grotesque.
WILD: University of Michigan students PROVE just how STUPID and BRAINWASHED they truly are when they were asked to define what socialism is, while a Fox poll shows nearly half of young Americans still view it favorably.
“Socialism doesn't mean like anti-capitalism. Based off what I learned in my Gov class, it's basically like spending more money on helping society.”
“Socialism to me is a concept in politics where everybody gets a little bit of everything. Everybody benefits and everybody is really taking care of kind of that social net that you see in other types of politics.”
“I think a lot of people get the economic system of Socialism confused with the government system of Communism.”
We are SCREWED if we do not change how the younger generations views capitalism.

An entire biography of Larry David and it doesn’t even seize the means of production
I reviewed the painfully long new Larry David biography. It’s not great. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

people are actually arguing on X that the cash back you get from using a credit card is some sort of evil shady government "good boy points" system, instead of what it is, which is a direct wealth transfer from people who are bad with money to people who are good with money.

Oh this story is delicious. Some choice parts for you:

The riots in France and the anti-Israel protests in the U.S. are part of the same movement. @WSJFreeEx:

I need leftists to understand that outside NYC, all the housing problems they assert as the default state of capitalism don't exist.
Most of the country doesn't have rent control, yet housing affordability is better. Austin saw nominal rent declines for multiple years during economic growth. Apartments aren't unmaintained for decades; you mainly ask your landlord to fix the dishwasher or in-unit laundry. There aren't wait lists or brokers, you just call the number on a listing, wire them some money, and move in immediately.
They even build new apartments all the time, anywhere it's legal, so much so that it's popular to complain online about being bored of the sight of the many similar apartment blocks investors are building all over the place. Renters complain about style fads, the proliferation of cheap luxury aesthetics, the unfashionable appliances.
The rental housing crisis only exists in a couple cities that have a multigenerational lock of leftist governance that are regulated like little historical preservation snowglobes where outsiders moving in are resented and you can't change or add anything to the built environment without multiple political approvals and interest group payoffs.
