While we're at it, let's eliminate gender divisions in chess. I can't think of a single compelling reason for them to exist in a game that requires no physical prowess at all.

Does that mean bringing back the 91% top marginal tax rate, strong labor unions, and massive government investment in infrastructure?

I keep waiting for the Academy Awards to lead by example and eliminate the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress Oscars so men and women can fight it out in one gender-neutral category. But I won't hold my breath.

This was both fascinating and infuriating to watch.

The inheritance tax only affects estates worth over $14 million, which means almost no ordinary Americans will ever pay it. Does Mr. Massengill really believe that billionaires' children should inherit everything tax-free while the rest of us still pay income and sales taxes?

On that we can agree. There were definitely less toxic ways to handle this issue than platforming a high-profile right-wing agitator who actively pushes harmful rhetoric. But at the end of the day, this was a political calculation, and he clearly thinks the trade-off is worth it. It's up to...

Kamala’s problem wasn't that she reached out to moderates. It was that she didn’t have enough time to run a full campaign and build strong enthusiasm with any group. Her biggest failure was probably when she went on The View and said she wouldn’t have done anything differently than Biden...

Everything he says in public between now and the 2028 primaries is a form of campaign speech. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and he wouldn't have touched this issue if he thought it would hurt him more than help. In a perfect world, voters would always be rational and well-informed. But...

You’re absolutely right: this is an invented issue. But invented issues still shape public opinion, and elections are largely vibes-based. Voters don't always decide based on policy or facts. They go with what feels right to them. Those vibes sway votes and votes decide elections. You don't...

Sports have always had eligibility rules based on biology. Weight classes, age restrictions, and disability classifications all exist to keep competition fair. This is a discussion about where the line should be drawn, not about taking away anyone's rights in daily life. The real question is...

Most anti-trans stuff from the right is super unpopular, but this specific issue is different. Polls show that a majority of Americans, including a lot of Democrats, think trans women shouldn't compete in women's sports. Newsom isn't jumping on some far-right bandwagon, he's just reading the...

People acting like Newsom has suddenly turned anti-trans need to take a step back. This guy has been one of the strongest pro-LGBTQ governors in the country. He was officiating same-sex marriages way before it was cool. As governor, he signed laws making California a "sanctuary state" for...

I think Newsom is pulling an Obama on trans issues. Back in 2008, Obama said he was against gay marriage, then once the polls shifted, he "evolved" and fully supported it. Now Newsom, who has been one of the most pro-LGBTQ governors, suddenly says letting trans women compete in women's sports...

As scummy as Newsom is, I'd still take him over the current regime every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

With sweltering humidity?

I still think Walz will be back.
