It's fashionable now to trot out Nixon being ahead of his time on Russia, China, etc - for good & ill I helped start it - but nobody talks about the last chapter of In the Arena, which is pretty much a no-holds-barred attack on elderly politicians who won't get off the stage & go demented in public.

the replies to @clairewillett.bsky.social’s prompt are incredible

there’s no shame in not knowing how to do something

but when you know you don’t know how to do something AND you don’t check??
