The Democrats obviously need to stop conceding actual power to Trump, but they also need to stop granting him the presumption of soft power. You can take his effects seriously while still treating him like what he literally is: a clown.

Ross Douthat is the durian fruit of journalists. You can only enjoy him if you disengage several senses. Stop breathing through your nose and read. Better yet, stop breathing entirely and watch the stars behind your eyelids explode. That’s when he’s really good, when your brain is dying.

Sometimes I wonder if kids still spend an adequate portion of their day staring into space at nothing. There’s some heady magic in the space between atoms. Their brains need routine vacations from The Pummeling.

"I’m no dupe," writes Suozzi, and I take him at his word. He's not a dupe, he's a liar. He does not actually believe working with Trump is good for Democrats politically or will help them accomplish anything / mitigate harm; rather, Suozzi agrees with the GOP agenda and wants it to succeed.

There’s a certain time of day, different for every person who wears one, when you become enraged by your bra and must claw it off your body before it destroys you. For me it’s 8 pm. It is The Last Braw.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Screenwriter: Unconventional use of white space as a sensory mugging, forcing the reader to really FEEL the gravity of the protagonist’s descent into madness.

Doug Rushkoff says they’re basically brain damaged. They can’t feel other people’s realness, they can’t recall the nature of suffering caused by need or desire, and they resent this negation so intensely that they can’t stop posting as pantomime.

I refuse to believe something so exceedingly believable when there’s the possibility that Iran is doing surveillance ops on dads with visible ass crack standing over charcoal grills in Teaneck.
