I.e.

Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme. He saw the horrors of war, and the moments of bravery and fear within it up close.

And after all that. ALL that. He wrote Lord of the Rings. He declared true bravery and masculinity to be love, friendship and humbleness.

Musk is everything he hated.

Is there a recipe you'd be willing to share? :)

Wherever you go, that’s where you are!

Nice work! I find I usually set my best times in those situations too.

Like, it sucks that you don’t get to have fun because everybody wants to keep pointing out how you fucked up, but *that’s what the group chat is for*. Go talk to your exec coach or your therapist. Nobody in leadership should be publicly woe-is-me-ing about users saying their trust is broken.

Maybe it will save you? At the very least, I hope Lee Pace heard you!

That's...surprising. How was *that* legal?

And yet, as Jamelle notes, they don't yet actually have full control over the country. So the cosplay is a way to pretend to a more complete power than they currently possess. It's an attempt to cow the opposition but also a way to inspire followers who are enthusiastic about following a strongman.

To put a finer point on it, Pritzker is being presidential in a way Newsom is not. Newsom is doing a decent job trolling Trump for the lulz, but Pritzker is speaking with the gravitas this situation warrants, promising real accountability, with federal, state and local leaders standing behind him.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Fair point.

I agree that Pritzker is clearly the better leader - he's principled, erudite and thoughtful. That said, I do think Newsom (or at least his team) has been effectively making a point about Trump's nutso style of communicating and re-normalizing the weirdness.

It's gonna take a village, I think.
