it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our country—pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialists—are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world.

"North and South" (2004) is so good. Pride and Prejudice but against a backdrop of fledgling mass production, occupational health and safety, industrial action.

Lawdt I forgot, it's the week of confessional: Remembering just how much I do not understand double-entry bookkeeping, and yet how any attempt to understand is better than assuming "the accountants will take care of it"

Upcoming week bookended by having to take a (thankfully small) group to lunch so they can give me context for official going-ons,
