A big thing I kept thinking about watching Andor is what a surprisingly good manager this guy was. Sarcastic, yes, but supported his people, plenty of praise, very little personal ego… Relatable to anyone who’s ever experienced the true dissonance of a great boss at an evil job

Can't get enough of these videos of Peter Thiel being asked by a friendly interviewer to "just say you're not the antichrist, out loud" followed by Thiel making various deep sea creature noises for 30 seconds before going "it's uh it's uh it's uh there are a lot of declensions here, interestingly,"

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until now to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

The United States is a threat to global peace and is actively dismantling any semblance of an international rules-based order through its own actions and its continued backing of Israel’s lawlessness. You can’t shout “peace!” after attacking a sovereign country in violation of international law.

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Claude Dunce of Georgia, 81, has endorsed Andrew Cuomo for Mayor of New York City. "That's the one guy's kid," Dunce tells me. "And as I recall he has been on television as well, previously. So I would encourage everyone there to fucking get over themselves and let him do whatever."

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
