And I wonder how many more good opinion writers they will lose. I no longer regret canceling my subscription in the slightest.

I'm glad people are calling him out, but I can see from these mild rebukes that he hasn't lost anyone yet. This is one hell of a cult.

That's awesome. Did the contestant get the reference? I feel like it might be a little obscure, and you have to be over 40 for sure.

This is ridiculous. There is nothing special about the pasta in Europe; we have the same brands! The main difference between the US and Europe is that we don't have as many fast-food places, and people cook a lot more often.

As much as I love your TV/pop culture commentary on here, I have to say that I'm really enjoying the more political stuff. I'm supposed to be avoiding this shit for my mental health, but I just can't help seeking it out.

Florida is a cesspool. I'm from there originally, and my poor sister is a SPED reading teacher there. You can imagine how difficult her job has become, I'm sure. When I left, the state still counted as a swing state, but those days are long gone.

I don't know how I'm going to do this again. From 2017 to 2021, I woke up every morning dreading the headlines, and now it's going to be exponentially worse.

I'm glad to see that you've found a new home. I canceled my Post subscription back in October, and your column was one of the few things that made me kind of regret doing it. No more regrets here! Looking forward to reading The Contrarian!

Just finished this piece, and I absolutely loved it. Thanks for putting things into perspective for me on this cold, gray last day of a sucky year.

Wow! I really enjoyed “Rumpelstiltskin.” I love reinterpretations of old stories. And the villanelle is quite impressive. I’ve always admired the discipline required to stay within that form!

The Bunk! Isn't Carver in this ep as well? Omar, Wee-bay, and Prez show up on L&O eventually. And I think Daniels too? I sure do love seeing my Wire peeps!

I'm embarrassed about how many times I've watched this whole series (but only this original incarnation; SVU, no fucking thanks). It's like my comfort food.

That is seriously gorgeous. You have one talented kid there, and I'm super jealous that they got to see TMG live. That's on my bucket list for sure!

Is there anything we (mere Dem voters) can do to help you become DNC head? You are the best thing that has happened to the party in ages, and we need you badly!

You always do the best interviews. People love opening up to you, even if what they're saying makes them look kinda dumb 😅

Such bullshit. I guess there's not much alternative to Sholz's cowardice, even in the so-called opposition.

I didn’t expect a landslide, but I thought that there were just enough decent people in America to pull it out for her. My mistake.

Damn, it's getting dusty in here...Now I miss my far-away family even more.

I just finished this article, and it's really depressing. The level of cognitive dissonance in these voters is unreal. Figures most of the subjects declined to give their full names.

Happy birthday @therickwilson.bsky.social !! I've been following you for ages, and I just listened to you on @gregsargent.bsky.social 's pod (another fave of mine). Great stuff! Have a wonderful day!

My dad uses the VA hospital near him for everything. It's enough of a struggle to get him to go there; if he has to find other providers, I don't know that he'll keep up with his health.

You really knew what you were doing with this one. I saw it for the first time after the 2020 election (thank god), and I was awestruck by the finale. I can't imagine having seen it before we knew how 2020 was going to turn out. Though, I guess I know that feeling now.

Even during his anti-Trump phase the past few years, I was never able to get on board with this guy. Probably because he was my U.S. Rep for a while and I saw how hard he sucked up to Bush. Anyway, glad my instincts were absolutely correct.

I saw this thread when I was still on Twitter, and it made me cry. And now it's happening all over again. It's tragic that things didn't work out the way we had hoped.

I think I'm one of the very few people who enjoyed "American Auto"! I loooved "Superstore", so I had to tune in. Too bad it never found a foothold. If this new show makes it over to where I live, I'll definitely give it a shot!

This was one of the most beautiful tributes I’ve ever read. I’m so glad you made it to Bluesky finally. I searched for you as soon as I arrived! Long-time, probably permanent, Atlantic subscriber.

I can tell you from personal experience, that parachute was really old! Thanks for everything you do!!!

Wow, I had no idea that she was one of “those” Hollywood types. I’m actually kind of shocked. I hope her brother isn’t an idiot too!

Seriously, fuck this guy. He's not even in the right chamber to make such a pronouncement.

A fucking travesty. Literally every choice he makes is worse than the previous one. I assumed Gabbard would get an ambassadorship or something, but this is beyond ridiculous.
