Finally contributed. Congress needs her energy and moral purpose. And I love Heater 🐈.

Dammit. I wanted a VC to throw $100m at me to reinvent soap.

Deep cut. What year is it? 2003? 1991? The Tom Friedman Unit of time is a keeper.

BroBRIKK: solidified, caffeinated body wash in a handheld, rectangular prism form.

Huh. I might qualify.

Seven Buttholes in Tibet

It’s not looking good for me to get to Tokyo for the marathon Sunday. Flight after rebooked flight being cancelled.

F this guy. Ugh.

Photo of a cute white Japanese Kei-class truck, in my Brooklyn neighborhood. The driver is in the right-hand seat.

Enjoyed seeing this super-kawaii Kei-truck walking to the subway this morning. Japanese front plate and right-hand driver’s seat. More of these in the city, and fewer monster SUVs!

Feminists and specific women should aim, instead, not to achieve a reconciliation with men but to accumulate enough material power into our own hands so that men’s hatered no longer endangers our safety or constrains our prospects.

🤮 but in a good way!

Summers in private: endlessly scheming with the world's most famous pervert to get a young female colleague whom he calls by a racist nickname to fuck him at conferences.

Summers in public: "I don't see that many women in my field, it must be because they're bad at math"

Slap a sticker somewhere in Scarborough for me

Will his literary/speaker’s agent get any or is this all into his pocket?

I prefer to interpret this as Bluesky telling me/us to disconnect and touch grass.

Something I've been thinking about since the AI hype started is that the inevitable end game here is that human interaction will only be for people who can afford to pay for it. This isn't accessibility, it's automated inequity

Dammit I didn’t get any of Bari’s Hot Take Squad right. I almost added Niall Ferguson but thought the accent would make for bad “meet them where they are” material. It still might!

Bring on Chatterton, Dreher, McWhorter, McMegan, Greenwald, VD Hanson, Cait Flanagan, Friedersdorf, Bruenig, TCowan, KStrassel, Tiger Mom, and that cringe Olivia from the FP.

What did Max think of all the snow?

I wish you had 60 Minutes’ budget to work with.

“Shooting in Minneapolis”: a tiny teaser to an article on page 18, in the bottom left corner of Sunday’s print edition of the New York Times.

Way to meet the moment, NYT.

A clip show. This once stellar show is going to repackage and re-air celebrity interviews.

Ah yes, another Brooklyn #Nets home game. I can tell by the incessant car honking outside from drivers wander around looking for free parking.

Hey dumdums, cold weather does not negate climate change.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

LAKE SUPERIOR, GREATEST LAKE OF ALL-TIME.

I all too quickly read that as Vicodin. Unless that’s a new street name for it.

Still more fun than Whiskey Friday with Tony D

Haven’t missed one yet!

Aka “the sin bin” 👀

Let’s first run it by the imaginary family in Levittown that he consults.

We don’t want stories, at least not yet. We want unsolicited duck pics.
