I really am at a loss at the Nuzzi story. I’m not some old head, I worked on the hill for 5 years and on campaign for 4, but still, I have never heard of someone doing such a thing before. It is truly one of the most vile things I’ve ever read about a journalist.

on top of everything else, nuzzi has the sensibilities of your most embarrassing friend. a guy alternates between saying he wants her to have his children and ghosting her, and she's wringing her hands trying to figure out if they're really in love

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

the idea that it would’ve taken some special insight to be suspicious of Nuzzi’s reporting is so funny

Whiplash is actually a movie about the failure of university administration to do its primary job of managing faculty.
JK Simmons isn’t the real villain of the movie. The real villain is whomever is the Dean of the College of Music and Arts at Shaker University.

I feel like if I were the kid in the movie Whiplash, it’d take about 3 minutes in there with JK Simmons until I started secretly recording him with my phone, and it would be about 12 hours after that that I sued the university for $8 million and lived happily the rest of my life.

Wrong. The point of Whiplash is if a band teacher calls you a “fag” and throws a cowbell at your head, you bring your Glock to class.
💜but that misses the point of Whiplash that certain sacrifices aren't worth making even for great art, for instance you shouldn't have sacrificed your time to see the movie Whiplash

This book whips, and is the first piece of history I’ve read that suggest the Treaty of Versailles, far from being a proximate cause of the war for being too harsh on Germany, was in fact a proximate cause of the war because it was not harsh enough.

The GOP’s maneuvering around Trump and Epstein is astonishing. I’ve never seen such awful spin from top to bottom.

it's got to be kind of surreal, gathering in the white house SITUATION ROOM like you're in some kind of high-stakes political thriller but it's for crisis meetings on what to say about your boss paying for handjobs from underaged models in the 90s

It’s funny that one of the most competent people in Nazi Germany was an architect with 0 industrial, political, civil, or military experience.

I've been watching a bunch of foreign WW2 movies to go along with what I've been reading, and its hard to decide who gets depicted worse, the Japanese in Chinese movies, or the Nazis in Polish, Ukrainian, and Soviet movies.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
