It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

It’s a weird moment in American life, we’re being held hostage by an autocrat who is nakedly corrupt but also just not very smart
the authoritarianism is bad, but the loser energy is absolutely intolerable

I see tomorrow is Friday.
Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?
Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?
I just can’t keep track.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses…

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are nouns when you stress the first syllable but verbs when you stress the second.
"Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.”

Instead of "I apologize for the delay," write "thank you for your patience." In lieu of "sorry for the oversight," write
"if you're so perfect, why don't you fu*king do it, Marsha."

Hey, pals:
What’s the book (fiction or non-) that you think of as your secret? Ie, nobody knows how astounding it is but you? Sure sign: you’ve bought multiple copies to give away. Two of mine: “The Mezzanine” by @nicholsonbaker.bsky.social and “Golden Gate” by Vikram Seth. What’s yours?

Let me see if I understand. We're told—in effect—that Hegseth is a non-functional alcoholic who commits sex and financial crimes when intoxicated, and who's never sought treatment for his disease or made real amends to anyone he's harmed, but he can RUN THE MILITARY if he pinkie-swears not to drink?
