Did you hear about the old timey gold prospector who was nonbinary? Found a fortune up in them/their hills.

The one trick these people have is taking something that we’re already doing or have tried and was a miserable failure and proposing it like it’s both a brand new idea and a clear-cut solution that we can’t implement because of “the groups” or campus protesters or feckless leaders or whatever.

I never thought I'd extend a publishing industry rant to a tombstone but when you have crossed the chasm of taste and propriety that leads you to carve this sentiment into granite, go ahead and say "fuckin." If grandpa loved Fuckin' what are you gaining by saying that but not-quite-saying that.

Centrists discovering a brand new problem that no one in the electorate has ever had to confront before: the expectation that they have to vote for a nominee they don't like and whose supporters were dicks to them. Uncharted waters. We'll just have to figure it out as we go, I guess.

I am reminded of the (true) anecdote that the UK government was forced to confront the pending expiration of its claim to Hong Kong because banks giving 15-year mortgages began demanding to know circa 1980-1982 if the colony was really reverting to China in 1997. Turns out it was.

This is the poster for a 2005 movie called "Utica, New York." Ang Lee executive produced. The were boos during the screening at Sundance. It won "Best Ensemble Cast" at Tulsa Fringe and was never heard from again. The two male actors died. One woman is MAGA; the other hawks algae capsules on Tiktok.

This guy's superpower continues to be doing things he said he would do and not immediately retreating because someone complained, while a large cohort of politicians and political professionals looks on irritably because it never occurred to them to try that.

On leaving the lights on, and the revolutionary political tactic of not talking yourself out of doing anything that someone, somewhere, might not like.

There is never anything to be accomplished by attempting to answer in good faith a question asked in bad faith.

I know there's a lot going on but everyone at this cafe seems down on their luck and I need four of you to drive a load of nitroglycerin down to the well that's on fire. I need at least one braggart and one extremely laconic guy. Nothing bad will happen.

This is like one of those comedians who ends up in four episodes of SNL because they are added to the cast at the tail end of a season that’s clearly going to result in a full house cleaning

Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.
