A lot of people who claim to be voracious readers either don't read much, or read only 15-volume fantasy sagas and Harry Potter.

And dad’s a violent, abusive drunk with a bunch of guns who’s always ripping people off but gets away with it cuz the local cops love him.
Democrats are mom and Republicans are dad and mom’s the one who says you should follow the rules. Dad’s the fun one who thinks the rules are for suckers, and you’re a nerd for liking mom.

Bari Weiss making plain she knows as much about journalism as Elon Musk knows about government. What will be the CBS equivalent of USAID?
News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."
One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

O'Neal is pushing "The Post into video podcasting, according to people familiar with the matter, aiming to launch a show hosted by Megan McArdle next month and a flagship program in January. The marquee show, I’m told, will be helmed by O’Neal himself."
Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.
Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.
