What I don't understand is why media and center-left pundits are so *passive* in the face of this obvious, explicit manipulation. They just dutifully follow the right around, shrugging their shoulders: 'I guess we have to talk about this now.'

No journalist or pundit ever apologized for, or even acknowledged, the fact that they were used as instruments by bad people to achieve bad things. To my knowledge there was absolutely zero reflection from any journalistic outlet about it. They just went on to the next thing.

Let’s be real. This is an extension of what happened to me at UNC, and it is a glimpse into the future to come. Academic freedom is under attack. Racial justice programs are under attack. Black women will be made to pay. Our so-called allies too often lack any real courage.

The duality of LAK on display with the presents from my other half.

The Barbie movie gave me an epic existential crisis when I saw it so hopefully the Alberto Cairo balances me back out.

Like many, an Alberto Cairo book was my gateway to information graphics. We are so lucky to have his continued enthusiasm for the craft and its creators—in print!

All the entitlement, boorishness, and intellectual hubris of certain small circles within the elite journalism world conveniently packaged in a single (waaay too long and repetitive) piece

If you think that journalists have ever been —or, worse, *should* be) “arbiters of truth and brokers of ideas”, you're part of the problem, not of the solution. There are very few men who exemplify that problem better than James Bennet: economist.com/1843/2023/12/1
