if you want to get shit done, rather than a “strong man”, instead of autocracy, have you considered a democratically elected unicameral legislature which directly appoints and can remove the executive?

Every time I rewatch The Holdovers it becomes more important to me as a movie and as a crucial Christmas movie. Captures well the downbeat interregnum of late December.

If you get a new sketchbook as a present and feel precious about it because you're afraid of "ruining" it or "messing it up", here's a trick I always do now: leave the first page blank, use it last, so when you open the sketchbook, it still feels 'pristine'

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.
