I see basically universal denunciation of Haley Stevens from Democrats and liberal pundits—traitor, burn the witch, etc.—and honestly it's a bit much.
More politicians should feel comfortable saying "X person on my side is a bridge too far." Dems usually cheer this when GOP does this, it's Profiles in Courage or whatnot for the Liz Cheneys for the world.

You can tell how awful China would have become without communism by looking at the great desitution in Singapore and Taiwan
If Chiang Kai-Shek had won, today China would be utterly poverty-stricken, have zero nuclear weapons, and would probably be host to a lot of U.S. military bases
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Chiang Kai-shek's government became modern Taiwan, which has higher life expectancy, higher GDP per capita, and hosts no US military bases.

Did I greenlight this? Yes. Am I going to regret it? Also, probably, yes.

As @StephenKentX points out, it isn't millennials. Millennials love the prequels and are largely responsible for rehabilitating them. It's jaded, cynical, irony-pilled Gen Xers who hated them, for exactly the reasons doomer lays out (but attributes to millennial nerds).

Family Guy recently made a Civil War version of "Who's on First" that had me crying laughing. It had no business being that good.
Wow
SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot.
But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates.

Just as predicted. I think I said this to @KaivanShroff. The fate of all issues is to become partisan. Data centers are still pre-partisan, but that will sort itself out eventually, with Republicans becoming pro data centers and Democrats being anti.
it seems like data center public sentiment has found its bottom, with notable recovery among republicans heatmap.news/daily/data-cent…
This! @christianbrits pans the "unethical travesty" that is Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything.
"There's no getting around the fact that Nathan Fielder made a crooked bargain to get his documentary made," he writes.
I agree. I'm surprised, and a bit disappointed, that more people aren't denouncing the filmmakers' tactics. Fielder made a documentary about someone who conned people out of money they were owed—and then goes and does something... kind of similar.

Starlink is Elon Musk’s company, so he makes the rules. Nationalizing it because you don’t like how he uses his product is reckless, argues @robbysoave. reason.com/video/2026/10/27/…
Problem [Now]: Many tenants are not paying rent.
Solution: Landlords and taxpayers will eat 2/3 cost of unpaid rent.
Problem [Soon]: Many tenants are still not paying rent.
Solution: Landlords and taxpayers will eat full cost of unpaid rent.
This is not smart!

@APStylebook is it Dan Sullivans or Dans Sullivan
