This is so funny man, I can tell you work for the government because you need to be completely detached from the market to think that new business owners come in with a fine tooth comb and don’t just like implement 20% reductions in force by fiat.

One of my most crank opinions is that our flight from the realm of aesthetics is part of why this country's gone to the dogs. We simply stopped giving a fuck about visual language.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

hot take: within a few years, many currently prestigious colleges and universities that have caved to Trump's mandates will become second or third rate institutions that folks will realize absolutely aren't worth the money. they're destroying their credibility, educational mandate, and legacy.

Songs from the 1940s fall into two categories: “Kiss me darling for I may die in the wars tomorrow and never see you again” And “He’s the Booble Bubble Boy on the Boat From the Blue! Woo woo be doo! Booble Bubble Boy!”

none of this is wrong, per se, but giving Musk and Trump the credit for wanting to "save money" or "increase efficiency" or do anything better is misleading. they want to destroy the government's capacity to do things and they're often explicit about that www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

A defiant Mayor Eric Adams, standing in front of a dozen elderly members of the clergy, gives a speech to the assembled media in which it gradually becomes clear that he believes all of the events that happen in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats "really happened, right here in New York."

Conservapedia keeps deleting my "irrelevant" Diamante Fabuloso page, even though the article clearly explains it is the name of the gigantic diamond angel President Donald Trump is currently giving birth to at Walter Reed Medical Center. I am hiding in a supply closet. I can hear his contractions.
