I like "Charles R." You feel it was signed by a very earnest third grader who has stoically accepted that there is always going to be another Charles in his class.

If there was an eight-episode behind-the-scenes docuseries about the making of a season of The Traitors, I cannot describe how quickly I would drop everything, including long-standing friendships if necessary, to watch it.
That was shocking and disillusioning, as was finding out that the murdered people learn they're murdered in the morning and are not dragged from their sleep in the middle of the night. (Which, yes, I should have known from the hair and makeup.)
This is full of wonderful Traitors detail--and it explains why the US show pretends the contestants sleep in the castle and the UK version doesn't. It's because the BBC has some weird, dangerous belief that you shouldn't lie to your viewers. Imagine! www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/20...
This is why "Let's give in on some of the trans stuff because it'd be a popular compromise and you have to meet people where they are" is not only immoral but politically stupid.
Republicans were never going to stop there. They stop when you stop them.

I think you know most of what I have to say in response to this, so I'll spare you!*
*offer expires 12/31/27
I think if you're hearing it now, 3 years early, what is really being said is "Don't pull some stunt if your preferred nominee loses and hand the election to the GOP." That seems inarguable to me, but also not worth arguing, since some people hate to hear it as much as other people love to say it.
Mamdani's win was a vindication of "Vote blue no matter who"! Tons of NYCers who didn't like Mamdani voted for him because he was the nominee. It's a good principle--fight for your candidate during the primaries, and then, if necessary, handle your disappointment and get in line.
It's Susan Collins morality--oh well, tut tut, cluck cluck, don't hate me because I'm dutiful. You see it in the new polls that show GOP voters having "no opinion" on tons of issues. I don't think Democrats should run on arguing that Trump voters are all complicit. It's not helpful. But it is true.
I read this column. Her argument is, I don't like Trump's racism but I've decided it's an acceptable tradeoff for the good (?) economy we now have, and I'd vote for him again. I don't know whether that actually makes her worse than a racist; I think it does. To know better and shrug is a moral evil.
I am not going to step into a social-media conversation that brings out the absolute worst tendencies of both sides. But I will offer one useful piece of information: Masto and Fetterman are not up for reelection in November.
That always felt sort of choreographed to me, but I have no evidence for that.
I think that's very different from saying he just waited until he he believed a narrow majority of the public had his back; he was actually gently pulling a crucial segment of the public forward after having smoothed the way for them.
For me, and for many of his gay supporters, it was clear from the time of his first election that he supported same-sex marriage; what he did during his first term was build a narrative so that, at the right moment, he could get as many Americans as possible to cross that bridge with him.>
I think that what Obama did regarding marriage equality between 2009 and 2012 was actually much more complicated than this. As early as 2010, he said publicly that his position was "evolving"; he basically used himself as a model for other people who needed to be shown a way to rethink the issue.>
Over the three hours, it takes on a real vibe of "I'm not staying."
Weird Oscar thing I learned today: Supporting Actor nominee Jacob Elordi has more screen time in Frankenstein (59 mins.) than Actor nominee Leonardo DiCaprio has in One Battle After Another (55 mins.) screentimecentral.com
I completely agree with your larger point, but I do want to note that I looked at Telecharge and found tickets for $58, $99, and $114 as well.
I hate telling NYCers to pay Broadway prices for anything. But Ragtime? You won't regret it. Here's Joshua Henry singing the powerful anthem "Make Them Hear You." Listen to that earthshaking 20-second final note. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXwx...
