I was hopeful about the #Mets this year. I have no idea what I'm feeling right now after giving up 9 runs in two straight games to the Pirates.

There are curious ambiguities in Applebaum’s account of her role in an influential slice of the conservative intellectual elite, many of whom are now shilling for the world's autocrats. What does this confusing backtracking say about her audience? open.substack.com/pub/marcroscoe…
