I'm not out here to make life even more difficult for journalists, but if a reporter is covering a group that is targeted by the current administration, tagging people who are in that group to increase reach seems like a bad idea.

Look, here's what you do, you take a kaiser roll (shoutout Calandra's) you split it and you toast it on a small frying pan, medium heat. Roll comes off, crack an egg into the pan. I like using one of those circular form things, but maybe you're more skilled in keeping your fried egg manageable....

What's a line or a bar that haunts you? I'll go first: "Everything dies, baby, that's a fact. But maybe everything that dies, someday comes back."

One time when I was traveling for work I flew to Hawaii and had not booked a hotel for a week-long engagement. Bill Bryson's Europe travel book consists of him getting to a new city and looking for lodging, chapter after chapter. The US government hates foreigners so much.

Hey @aclu.org, could we get a primer on whether we have to answer questions from these thugs when we're on trains/buses/public transit?

From now on, every time I see "State should set up an independent..." I'm going to remind you all that breaking up the United States is the best solution.

I broadly agree with those who say that "I mean, duh" is an unnecessary, content-free post, but this mf is testing me.

Just conflated "astronomer" and "economist" into "astronomist" if you're wondering how things are going in my head.

Doc Holliday: "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after. It's a reckoning." Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: "Doc, you oughta be in bed, what the hell you doin' this for anyway?" Doc: "Wyatt Earp is my friend." Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: "Hell, I got lots of friends." Doc: "...I don't."

Appalled that my high school alma mater has a better "What happens when ICE comes visiting?" policy than my college alma mater. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...

I have personally argued for a form of "big tent" progressivism, where we welcome people when they come to their senses, rather than chastising them for being late to the party. Lord, but people like Corey Robin do test my generous nature.

You endorsed Mike Bloomberg for president in 2020. Do you regret that decision? Have you reconsidered it?
