Half Man is the weirdest limited series I've seen in years. 6 hours of two men doing utterly unhinged or monstrous things and then having long, intense, theater-y conversations about why they did them and then punching each other in the face. Very committed to its own ideas; I believed none of it.
I'll just add that between handwringing Dem centrists and young Dem-adjacent socialists is a large group I would label "self-described liberals who are enraged/sick of this crap" and are ready to vote left/progressive. Don't underestimate them. And FFS don't scold them; they're also sick of that.
Someday, we will all be past the era in which, when someone comes up to you beaming and says, "GUESS WHAT!!", you don't suddenly feel a very specific surge of hope.

Grieving the loss of Slate Culture Gabfest pod. Steve, Dana, and Julia have been yapping in my ears through a lot of life.
I first started listening nearly 18 yrs ago on an iPod! I've strutted with them, discovered new culture, and debated them in my head countless times. Going to miss it dearly.
I was not prepared for how sad and repellent I would find this trailer. I know this isn't even close to the worst thing that happened today but Christ Almighty, if you work in the entertainment industry, it just isn't that hard to decide that you're not going to make things worse.
I don't think Democrats should eat their own on a day when the GOP has reaffirmed its monstrous contempt for this country in multiple ways, but it's fair to look very hard at who is and isn't up to this moment in word, because it's a good indicator of who is and isn't up to it in deed.
Worth your time and attention: Kate Shaw offers a great and well-thought-through road map for the major reforms that are needed. Of course, unless Democrats retake the majority, this isn't even a discussion. (Gift link.)

I'm not going to start with the requisite "I'm a nice person, but..." sentence, because I don't care what was wrong with him. Disappearing without explanation for four months is disqualifyingly inappropriate for an elected public servant.
If you're a gay man, and you look at people who identify as queer, NB or trans, and you don't understand that their struggles are our struggles, then you're useless to any progressive moment. The arguments from this prim prisspot were bad when they were popular in the mid-'90s and they're worse now.
An odious piece by Matthew Vines. As a gay Christian, he has no fellow-feeling for anyone but the G in the LGBTQ community. It's a gospel of selfishness--I've got mine and the rest of you: I want nothing to do with you. We fought for your rights you sad, little man. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/o...
2026-2028 needs to be about the entire Democratic Party setting the table for this. 2028-2032 needs to be about using all of the magical new powers of the presidency to do it. When the GOP screams that it's unprecedented, remind them of this court's utter contempt for precedence.
"My goodness, we don't 'hate' anyone, this isn't about that," the Supreme Court said, while kicking trans children in the teeth.
If you have any interest in bizarre cults, New York in the '80s, crazy closetedness, very pretty people, AIDS, and the absolutely batshit convergence of all five, check out the HBO doc Bring Me the Beauties. A trip back to the era when instead of the internet, we had cocaine and public access cable.
I'm so glad it made its way to you! Hope you enjoy it.
It's propping up a table leg.
I'm sorry to report that a hardcover copy of Herman Wouk's War and Remembrance has appeared on the giveaway shelf in my building's laundry room. As I have explained, in Jewish tradition, this denotes the passing of an elder.

And I think this from @peterbeinart.bsky.social is important context, without undermining the point: open.substack.com/pub/peterbei...
Yes, loved it.
