People ask me what the big difference between a decade ago and now is, and I always say: kids don't know stuff. All the other criticisms are true - vexed by non-smartphone technology, struggling with easy grammar conventions - but the extent to which kids lack historical and social literacy is crazy
I teach 10th grade AP kids. Covid hit hard, no doubt. But the shift in “before and after”-for me- began w last years 10th graders. This year they seem to be more in line w 7th graders I taught 15 years s back

There are only two outcomes of the Mamdani meeting today: he's arrested in a brazen scene that sets America on the path to Balkanization, or he's just completely taken by the guy and NYC gets gay space communism

One of the grimmer outcomes of Woke Era cultural politics is the idea that race, culture and gender essentialism is good if it you do it in a Nice Way, and man it feels weird these days

It's kind of funny how both 30 Rock and Parks and Rec both had main cast members who pissed off and tried to blow this popsicle stand only to disappear into the ether of TV nothingness. I think they got made fun of on both shows

On that note: if I ever become a billionaire I am going to buy the Yankees and move them to Caracas
Mamdani should announce a new basketball team owned by the people of New York called the New York Mujahideen

Fox Biz: "A new Reuters poll shows President Trump's approval rating falling to its lowest level. This is because, apparently, of prices and the Epstein files."

I really don't care and any idiots who say 'the eagles were given that game on the PI call' should look back at the entire game and the extreme dominance of the eagles defense that beat the living CRAP out of the lions offense

Look, Caleb Williams did a bunch of that Pop Warner double dropback shit in his first year and he's basically alright now I guess, but he's 1) a better athlete and player than Shedeur and 2) not the literal permanent subject of every single defensive player's violent fantasy highlight real

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

It always blows Republicans' minds when they realize that most liberals don't have a parasocial relationship with the president. Whenever they try to get you with "but what about Bill Clinton" and you respond that you don't give a fuck they short out like you stuck a donut in their CD drive

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.
