Ross Douthat is the Bari Weiss of Charlie Kirks.
π Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

New phenomenon. YouTube serendipity.
The feeling where you click to start a video, but the preroll ads take so long that you forgot what you were going to watch, only to be pleasantly surprised that the thing just starting is interesting to you.

being spoonish is just being adjacent to a spoon in utility. forks are already spoonish, in that you can scoop some things with them, in the same way a knife is forkish in that you can stab something with it and pick it up. and a spoon is knifish, in that you can cut some things with it.
Now I need to know β
Does the spoonish nature of the Spork place it between the Spoon and the Fork in the hierarchy of utensils? Or does the bastardization and diminished effectiveness drop it below βFork?β

Just a few hours after celebrating Sal B's birthday, I got the news that Sal has passed away. An enormous loss for our industry and for all of us who knew and worked with him. Safe journeys, Sal. We'll miss you.
Sal Buscema turns 90 today. There's hardly a Marvel character Sal hasn't left his mark on, from Cap to the Hulk, Avengers to Thor. Working with Sal for two years on Spectacular Spider-Man remains a highlight of my career. And the best part? He's not just a great artist, he's a truly good guy.
