I've long felt this was going to be part of their plan. At this point, whatever immigrants are left are going to be too scared to deal with census people. I still don't think it's enough to get the numbers they are looking for in the next election.

Their ideas for education were miserable failures. They've narrowed for that reason and because the political climate is now anti-education, anti-philanthropy.

If I were naming 20 or so top comedians, I think there would be a lot more balance. I would definitely put KW, MR on the list and probably Tina Fey, Tig Notaro, Ego Nwodim, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Aubrey Plaza, Jenny Slate.

This is like the 100th entry in the book of democracy killing decisions by this SC. We are here and we know it. What are we going to do about it?

Do you literally mean "posts" or does that include replies? I find myself giving up on starting new posts for lack of engagement. So my whole social history is almost entirely replies.

Yes! We need a party that will fight back against everything that is happening. We have to recapture what has been lost before it is gone forever. No "centrist" can accomplish that.

It's John Mulaney, hands down. His Oscar presentation sealed it. He can be absurdly hilarious with nothing to work with.
Bill Hader is up there too. Will Farrell. I hate that I'm only naming men. I would say Sarah Sherman, but she's still too early in her career. Keep an eye on her.

I love the idea that "the public" knows better than journalists whether an airstrike on the other side of the globe was successful or not. I guess it just comes down to who feels it more.

My wife was telling me about Lewinsky's podcast yesterday. And it was so gross to think back to how we as a country treated her. This young woman, a victim of sexual harassment, had her life upended in the same way predators like Weiner and Cuomo have. Except they are already having their comebacks.
