So when do we get the Muppets Knives Out movie where Daniel Craig is the only non-muppet? I'd pay to see that...

WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE. I'd read countless books by that point, fallen in love with Tolkien, King, Pierce, Bellairs, McCloskey, Mayer, Lovecraft, etc., but Shirley Jackson made me feel, for lack of a better word, seen. It was my life on the page, and I felt so much less alone. 🖤
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
