@jmullen2 Not really a surprise, is it? They've learned that in the age of fox and twitter, they can control the narrative instead of letting someone else control it. And their supporters just don't care (or read broadly). Seems likely to get worse with Musk &co cozying up to power 😟

It’s considered a lazy photo in journalism, similar to a “picket fence” photo. A picket fence photo is a group standing in a line, all facing the camera. Called a picket fence photo bc it resembles a picket fence.

Fewer and fewer public servants speak to the press. Montana is among the last places where a small town reporter can meet and speak to their elected federal representatives and report home. Unlike Tester, Daines, Rosendale, Zinke or Downing, Sheehy is a departure from that.

Had the pleasure of covering @Jon Tester when I lived in Havre and worked for the now defunct @HavreDaily. He was always good for a quote, quick interview and press call. Regardless of party and politics he was always a class act. God Speed Senator. #mtpol

@kevhamm @KathyHoilandMT Which part of black and female did you not understand? I think, deep down, most Montanans pathologically fear change. Sadly, consequences of voting for the people who want to cut all the entitlements that MT critically depends on will be swift. Many won't survive.

@kevhamm Well, four years of unfettered non-vaccination, destruction of the Dept of Ed, NIH, NSF, FDA and CDC, not to mention DOJ, FBI, NATO and our longstanding relations with allies, will be a deep hole to climb out of to rebuild. I'm not seeing it.

@McFaul This. After living in Montana for almost 10 years, I don't get how people who generally care so much about their neighbors, common courtesy and human decency can continue to support candidates who spew this sort of horrific rhetoric 24/7. What the hell am I missing?

@Neurocircuits @superkash Excellent choice. One of our favs! We actually left Bozeman end of August - back in Bay Area now. Let me know next time you're headed out this way... @superkash on the off chance you were to hit Montana for dinner, head to Campione in Livingston 😆. Even better.

@JennyWalsh406 I sincerely hope you're right.... But the fact that the consistently leading us senate candidate has called for actually eliminating the Dept of Education, makes me wonder...

@tribelaw Democracy really does die in the dark. This is part of it. Her points are dead on, just not sure I agree with her conclusion. This undermines the moral authority of the wapo and makes people question its independence. The right has long done this, now the left will too.

A central difference between me and the many people who will reply angrily to this thread is that I don't think suits are automatically "good" and casualwear is automatically "bad." A good casualwear outfit is better than a bad suit (and this happens often). I don't hold disdain for everyday people, so I don't use suits as a political cudgel. Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump—two figures featured in that original thread—both dress badly to me. It matters none that one is a suit. I mainly take umbrage with the idea that Trump's style can be in any way described as "aristocratic" or "noblesse oblige." These words refer to specific classes of people who had specific dress habits. Trump's attire has nothing to do with that practice. You can say he never dresses down, which is true, but you can then just make that point without acting as though there's anything aristocratic about his dress. He's simply a businessman entertainer. Suit salesmen also never dress down, and if their dress habits were similar to Trump's, their style would also have no relationship to "aristocratic style." "Twitter trads" often want to be patted on the back for simply liking suits (I doubt many of them wear them with much regularity), despite not appreciating the fine details or nuances of various styles. Yet, they also complain about the slipping of standards in schools—people are graded on a slipping curve, they say. But is this not also just a slipping of standards? You want to label anything with revers and three pockets as "aristocratic?" Put on any old suit and suddenly you're King Charles. Give me a break. Just make your point: Trump doesn't dress down (this is true). And you hate the modern world. You fancy yourself as being above other people, despite the fact that, the very signaling of this thing, shows you are irreparablely middle-class. To state the obvious, you can like suits, tailoring, and Old Money style without LARPing in this way (I know many menswear enthusiasts who love Old Money style and are very forthright about their class status and hold no grudge against everyday citizens). If you must LARP, at least know what you're talking about.

The suggestion that Trump's style can be in any way described as "noblesse oblige" only shows how little most Twitter trads know about the style they supposedly revere.

@CroesFire And in case it's not obvious, this relevant because the average starting teacher salary in CA now is $51-62k, according to CA Dept of Ed and in 2023, the average salary for all teachers ~$89k. So he definitely doesn't know squat about public school teaching.

Lol, the chair of the faculty senate at my former institution just sent an email to recently departed faculty noting that the university has “lost nearly 20% of its TT and NTT faculty” and inviting us to take a survey to learn why. Then the email was immediately recalled.
