This makes me irrationally angry. It shouldn't bother me for this reason, but the fact that her scam was based on a physical impossibility just irks me.

My major thought reading the Nuzzi article: does anyone actually like the Paradiso in the Divine Comedy? Both the Purgatorio and (of course) the Inferno are genuinely fun and worthwhile reads. I have slogged through the Paradiso twice, and maybe it's me, but it is just a slog.

The fact that the response including "tsuris" made me think the "bubba" here might also be Yiddish, but I wouldn't expect that to be capitalized, and "blowing grandma" is somehow even more disturbing.
Mark Epstein asked his brother Jeffrey Epstein whether Steve Bannon could confirm if Putin has “the photo of Trump blowing Bubba. Jeffrey Epstein: "I thought I had tsuris,” using the Yiddish term for troubles. #OpDeathEaters

I don't mean to diminish anything about the poignancy here, but it somehow it seems fitting in our insane times that this clergyman has a nearly identical name to the "journalist" who was advising Epstein.

This is precisely why, whenever I say anything even remotely sensitive in text, I begin with "The person reading this is a loser and has a dumb face."
lawyer's corollary: don't put in e-mail (or in a text, or in a voicemail, or on social media) anything you don't want read back to you in court
all I’m gonna say is that I am a life-long slightly edgy poster and I’ve never caught a suspension or a ban anywhere - because it is in fact quite easy to avoid crossing the “this joke could possibly be construed as a violent threat” line on social media

There's the famous "Two Letters" anecdote about Khruschev and Brezhnev. It feels like this administration is running that same play, but they just keep reopening that first letter.
We inherited” is the new “but her emails.” They take responsibility for nothing. Who deported workers in the food production industry? Who imposed massive tariffs on finished goods, agricultural products. and raw materials? Who promised to lower prices “on day one”?

This is the kind of thing that makes Ms. Kabas required reading.
NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
