"As long as you can sell these saps on your own lifestyle, you’ll never run out of marks. Again: Artifice, sold intelligently. Believe it or not, this is the bright side of the manosphere."
“Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it.”
Things got very heated on Capitol Hill as Rand Paul confronted Markwayne Mullin over past comments about the violent attack Paul suffered.

From Dallas to Austin, everything about our Texas live show ruled —but the best part was seeing you! Thanks to every member of the Bulwark community for showing up and proving we’re not done fighting. Let’s go!
I used to work next to—not with, but in nearby desk space—Stu at Roll Call. Absolute straight shooter and the revelation @lauren-egan.bsky.social has here about his voting record does not surprise me. Needless to say, I very much empathize with his evolution. www.thebulwark.com/p/stuart-rot...

Hat-tip to @sonnybunch.bsky.social whose zealous advocacy got me to push HAVE FUN, GOOD LUCK, DON'T DIE on PVOD for Movie Night with The Pip; really weird movie but a lot of fun.

Chuck Norris was unironically great, which, somewhat ironically, made him prime for greatness in our age of irony. www.thebulwark.com/p/chuck-norr...
I loved McKay Coppins's piece on his year (well, season) of living like a degenerate gambler. Though, as he mentions in our discussion, a lot of gamblers took issue with that self-designation! www.thebulwark.com/p/how-americ...
Or: Why the manosphere shows optimism might be misplaced.
