Sometimes on these westbound flights, you can literally feel the plane struggling against the might of the jet stream. Like, are we going anywhere at all, or just coasting in place like gulls sometimes do at the beach?

Complaining about travel difficulties is like the most first world problem of them all, so I won't, except to say holy *fuck* I don't think I've ever been this tired at 3:12pm in my life

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

One good(?) thing about my new role is I don’t have time to keep up with the news during the day.
It does mean I consume it all at once after work, though. Not great.

There’s no excuse to be a subscriber. They are pure evil. I think less of you when I see your year-end wrapped post.
It's really easy to move away from Spotify and stop funding this shit.

My fella’s old band had 25 million streams on Spotify this year, which should translate to everyone in our house sleeping on a pile of ermine coats, but what it really translates to makes no discernible material difference in anyone’s lives. That’s how I feel about Spotify wrapped.

I don’t want to overfit a curve on too few data points, but it feels like Big Media may be smelling blood in the water, and changing their coverage voices accordingly.
“.. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.”

I seriously have no idea why you’d hire Pat Fitzgerald. He wasn’t a playcaller or strategic mind, his whole schtick was selling Northwestern Culture because he played there, and then it turns out that culture featured a brutal atmosphere of sexual hazing

What's going to be different about this one, I think, is that normies don't know it's about to happen. Afghanistan, Iraq: these were telegraphed in the media for months. In this case, most people are going to turn on the news one day this week and be like, "wait, he did WHAT?"
The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.
Lots of people are going to die.
