"the wallet inspector said he just needed to take my wallet to another room to look at it. He'll be right back"
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Imagine thinking you’re a real country but also your civil aviation infrastructure collapses the moment you can’t pass legislation.

Imagine how much travel chaos and familial resentment you could pack into British Thanksgiving.
Out and about in town, and seeing some acute cases of Premature Decoration.
We need a festival between Halloween and Christmas so stores have something else to merchandise around. I'd suggest they just knock it the fuck off, but: a) capitalism, and b) it would be nice to have an autumn bank holiday

I think my favourite bit is these glue-on wall moldings that are stuck on top of, but off centre to, almost identical patterns on the wallpaper. Really underscores just how shoddy the whole thing is, and how little understanding of aesthetics is involved.

My 3yo was listening to Ross Douthat's podcast when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, did liberal feminist women ruin the workplace?" And when I told him, "it's debatable, but they certainly don't seem to be reading Rod Dreher's Substack," he started crying.
