Wicked smart writing. Patti LuPone owned that episode. (Jim Croce was just the icing.)

Apparently I’m not the only Xmas music guy looking at early 21st century recordings!

Cf. The Speedy Mart near my childhood home that had a full-size barrel full of dill pickles in brine. There were tongs on a string but can’t confirm we used them.
Or, How I Learned to Love Pickles

A 5% swing is 8 million voters. Anyone who thinks 8 million Americans switched from Harris to Trump in the last few weeks is spending too much time doomscrolling and not enough time knocking on doors. And if you need some hope to keep going, look at the fundraising.

Someone needs to build an aggregator that pays writers fairly and charges readers reasonably.

True, though I have been followed by some sexy women who do not post.

This right here is how Jan 6 gets started. Harris voters intimidated out of public support, hardening R disinfo.
If they silence you, that’s the work, as much as voting or gotv.
Campaign should highlight this.

The shifts in tone are beautifully done. This is my favorite kind of (new) Christmas song.

First sound was a Wells Fargo ad, so no. Anything at all benefiting a music artist as the initial sound I hear would be amazing, but this? No.

I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to say this. Harris is running the best campaign clickbait journalism leaves room for.

1) Ask Gayla Peeveey.
2) no, but this could be:

What’s weird is how absolute this rule is. Like the most careless native English speaker would never break it.

When Lady G got picked up by the Dark Lord in the hot middle of a transoceanic paddle in season one, I gave up all hope of a Tolkien-worthy script.

Here for this. Your account makes me lol and that’s rare. I hope your example goes viral. I hate that fucking fuck as much as you. Can’t fix stupid but opting out slows transmission.

They’re not mutually exclusive: a million users quit Twitter vs a million votes for Harris/Walz.
Voting is everything. So is cutting into Musk’s reach.
Also: The only way to avoid a repeat of Jan 6 (or worse) is to vote and be vocal with Uncle Crazypants.

Your reporting on the French election has been illuminating and much needed. Thank you.

If the party … gave us. What “Democrats”specifically are you talking about and who could they “give” you? It’s this kind of passive political whine that got us here, not some mythical Democrat Daddy you’re waiting for. Find the candidate you want and work for them.

“There’s no point” in insisting on the truth? This is how we got here. Sorry your job is hard.

And why is no one asking the Times why they don’t say the same thing to Trump? Oh, right. He sells newspapers.

To be fair, tv and movies could often be much better. But I agree armchair crit isn’t helping.

Wish I could follow. Too many unexplained acronyms.

Or put pressure on media to provide more accurate headlines.

Smart and elucidating analysis. I think the other observation that’s relevant is that Trump has been very very good for the Times’ bottom line. Their approach will earn them money because even liberals will click on anything about Trump. The often inaccurate headlines build on this phenomenon.

I’m confused. Terrible headlines is an unsolvable problem?

DJT gets more clicks than Biden (or democracy, for that matter), from both sides. NYT makes money off him, so integrity starts to look like a sucker’s game to these people.

So the ones who thought government was evil still think that. Hmmm.
