Welcome! Derek Thompson has an outstanding piece at The Atlantic titled The End of the Millennial Lifestyle Subsidy. Seriously, go read it. You may never use Uber again.
I wanted to say thank you for the excellent show notes that you send out each day.
The article by Ryan Grim about Meltdowns Have Brought Progressive Advocacy Groups to a Standtill is one of the most fascinating I've read in a long time. The left is literally eating its own and you can feel the pain he is going through writing it. A quick look at his twitter account discovered this gem today: https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1537161164307714049?cxt=HHwWgsCyken7i9UqAAAA
How can our society be so upside down that this is described as "yeah, we need to be clear how toxic this is"? The silver lining is that with this kind of a viewpoint the left will continue to cannibalize each other over trivial matters instead of focusing on the issues where they could cause the most harm.
Elite universities... wow that looks to me like we have
1) a pervasive cultural of success = conformity
2) learning to game the liberal playing field
These people are not serious, they don't actually care about any of the liberal causes, they are ok pretending to be good little progies to get ahead on the liberal playing field.
They don't believe in the institutions, but they bow to authority figures. That ends badly.
Did I miss something in your list of top News stories?...you did not mention the most important election race of the day. Texas 34th Congressional district and special election today. Rising star Mayra Flores could pull off a stunner today and flip a dominant Hispanic and Democrat district to red.

I'm sorry we were looking for women
