I know there are so
many other worthy candidates, but might the OED consider “pre-notify” as a word of

Almost perfect, but a parenthetical “No shoes. No shirt. No service.” would not be amiss.

Thoughts on the 25th: My unshakeable belief has been that Miller would wheel him around on a gold-plated hand truck until the end rather than lose his perch. I now think he’ll engineer it because it is inevitable and the only route to bind Vance to him.

Lucky 13 in my bingo card prognostications. You can stake the farm on this one.
13. Once Trump finishes his ballroom, expect him to subtly convert it into a wedding venue for the very connected he is wooing or those who have paid appropriate tribute. Pick the Platinum Plan & he DJs.

Pretty sure that his perpetual fate in whatever classy circle of Hell he’s consigned

molten vat of gold.

You spend some moments retreating into fantasy and the present still insists on having its say:
“The true magic of this broken world lay in the ability of the things it contained, to vanish, to become so thoroughly lost, that they might never have existed in the first place.” Michael Chabon

When the miracle of agglutination finally delivers us from this monster, he’ll be ushered into Hell’s Roast Garden with its flawless limestone floor heated to the temperature of magma. His curse will be endless attempts to be first to the omelet station with side-splitting (literally) consequences.

Name the test, any test, & he couldn’t pass it. Give him a test on grass, NYC building codes, the countries of the world. The chief reason he is such a psychological deformity is that he never had a taste of academic success. And his low IQ jibe is likely because
that’s what he heard from his dad.

These tech guys/edgelords are very much like the flocks of Canada geese that land in a harvested corn field and feast. These guys are leveraging the work of generations, of true geniuses, and are able to build fortunes and power from the scattered kernels because of the miracle of scale.

As I imagine what could be unfolding, I assume Prager, Hillsdale and the like are scrambling to expand their timelines & geographical focus for rewriting the historic record so that there are no lessons to be learned/parallels to be drawn from the Rump Parliament or the Babylonian Captivity.

You know how the Smithsonian has a special place in its heart for pop culture, e.g. Julia Child’s kitchen. When it gets to curate this demonic moment, you can count on this being in the display:

While mowing the grass or other mind-wandering moments, I think of the children of Stephen Miller and how they might be being schooled in the difference between right and wrong. Will they be handed copies of “The Camp of the Saints” when they reach adolescence?

Not necessarily thrilled by this, but the first photo beats the second. The modern counterpart will be a toddler in a Bluey t-shirt. In spite of everything, do we all think people are good?

I think of all the Gold Star mothers from my childhood, short years since they received that telegram. I didn’t know a thing about time or grief then and I probably know less today. May we escape the terrible vortex we find ourselves in today and continue to revere their sacrifice.

As they plotted in their swamp-based python-defended bunkers—yeah, yeah not necessary, but it gets them in the right mood—they were envisioning another Cromwell to champion P25 & lay waste the Republic. They end up with a malevolent knock-off animatronic Barnum and they said “This will work too.”

Re Hegseth: It’s one thing to be a moron. But to be a moron who hasn’t touched a proverbial hot stove and taken away the lesson that some performative acts e.g.using SCIFs, are worth the trouble is beyond coaching at this point.
