An example irony of which I'm sure Alanis would have have availed herself were she an American: The man Richard Hofstadter once called "the Marx of the master class" doing disparate impact analysis to defend the rights of aggrieved southerners. I love my job.

In my exasperated margin notes in Why Liberalism Failed from the first time I read it back in 2019/2020, I repeatedly called Deneen "Uncle Patty." We all have our own ways of coping.

My thoughts on Project 2025's breathtakingly radical antipornography politics. TLDR: it makes the Meese Commission Report look moderate!

While y'all were busy worryin' 'bout the schools and the library books, we done went and made the bagels gay. Glitter bomb! Out.
