Maybe the rapture is on Pacific time.

I have had a bottle of champagne in my fridge that I bought for when Kamala was going to win the election. So that didn’t happen, but it’s still there for whenever the long anticipated other joyous headline occurs.

I have tariffed
the penguins
that are on

and so cold

Honestly, I’m a little sad that the 2032 asteroid threat has fizzled. Would have been a fitting end.

Warm and rainy night here. Going to be a big night for salamanders and frogs crossing the roads looking for love.

You know, coffee prices going way up are going to piss off a lot of people. I cite you to a tax on tea some years ago. Didn’t go over well at all.

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

I just listened to a thing about Benjamin Britten and realized I’ve been mispronouncing Peter Pears name wrong for 30 years. It’s pear like spear, not like the fruit. Sneaky!

Bret Stephens/Gail Collins is unreadable today. I think the NYT needs to pair him with Michelle Goldberg, (who would tell him to fuck right off.) It would be against editorial standards but that would be a column I would want to read.
