When my older brother was a theater student at Notre Dame in the early aughts, the school formed a partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company and sent Michael York over to host a celebratory dinner. I got to tag along for the meal and was so excited to meet Austin Powers’ boss.

i wonder what it’s like to look around every day and see the country being run into the ground by pill-poppers and secret police and anti-vaxxers and book burners and you go into work and sit down at your computer and you’re the guy whose job it is to come up with new oreos flavors
