At the Trump rally, a comedian called Tony Hinchcliffe made what he calls a 'joke' about Puerto Rico being an "island of garbage". This - more than anything else from the event - has spread like wildfire & dominated the news. As ever, Twitter has the perfect tweet:

Trump is more and more openly doing things and promoting policies that are managing to piss off almost everyone: a point @alex_shephard makes, as he shows a broad range of voters turning against the president to some degree. 12/

Well written, albeit somewhat depressing piece by @alex_shephard here on what the awarding of the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia really means. TLDR; mega-money trumps inclusion, human rights, and actual football quality every time.

The Saudi World Cup Is International Soccer’s Greatest Disgrace
The decision to reward the corrupt regime with the honor of hosting the cherished tournament is one more instance of the sport’s recent slide into shame.

Alex Shephard @alex_shephard Follow I am hearing this pretty consistently from Dem canvassers in swing states: They aren't seeing many Trump canvassers and when they are they're often knocking on pro-Harris doors. It may not matter! But it really seems like Elon massively screwed up their GOTV operation 9:30 AM • 11/3/24 • 51K Views

This by @alex_shephard on the moral ineptitude of those calling the shots in the publishing industry is 💯 on point.

Congrats to all the winners, but especially to the wonderful folks at @NewDirections and @groveatlantic. And to Ben Simmons for hitting a 3-pointer against the Knicks. (That last part is for @alex_shephard.)

The Trump years were like a stress test to institutions within our society, many of which were weak. The mainstream media was one of them. @alex_shephard gets the fatal both-sides-ism around last night's speech right here:...

that last part
everyone is raving about AOC’s speech. talked to an older person who praised her as “a team player” and a younger one who said she was “electric.” also overheard a secret service agent tell a colleague she is “better looking in person” which only slightly killed the vibe https://twitter.com/alex_shephard/status/1825712563193041258?s=46

Now that the Nobel committee has delighted me so by choosing Annie Ernaux, how about ... William Gibson next? (at least @alex_shephard could start adding him to the roll call)
