Not coincidentally with the 1992 release of Spike Lee's Malcolm X masterpiece, hats, t-shirts, etc., with a big X emblazoned on them became, for better or worse, a fashion statement.
Just another thing stupid Elon Musk ruined.

I really enjoyed my conversation with Nolan Higdon on his Disinfo Detox podcast. We talked about Trump's attacks on CBS, Musk's AI "white genocide" fiasco, and journalistic culpability in Biden's failures.

(We look way too happy in this picture, considering what we were talking about.)

I cannot fucking stand this vile administration using the history of my ancestors to pursue their despicable aims.
We don't need your fake fucking "protection" from fake fucking "antisemitism," you nasty fucking swamp monsters.
A pox on you every single time you say that word.

The "but there is real waste in government" dudes are a lot like the "but vaccines do have side effects" dudes. (Often the same people.)

Yes, to both. But the way you deal with that is not by attempting to ban vaccines or trying to destroy all of government.

1. Kanye can kiss my Jewish ass.
2. But, honestly, Kanye is the least of the Nazis I am concerned about right now.

What are Mark Bauerlein and Scott Yenor possibly getting on about in the Chronicle? Ridiculous stuff.

Me: I'm gonna run some errands.
Lori: Be careful.
Me: Ummm...
Lori: People be crazy.
Me: People DO be crazy.

Never trust an academic who utters the word "entrepreneurship" unless it's in the context of critique, disdain, or mockery.

FX's adaptation of Say Nothing is fantastic.
This is how you make intense, captivating television without sacrificing complexity.

Just released.

I have some reclusive tendencies and often have to force myself to do social things. But last night Lori and I went to a gathering of colleagues and I actually had a good time.
Imagine that.

Psycho gave me unrealistic expectations about family values.
Jurassic Park gave me unrealistic expectations about employment opportunities for chaos mathematicians

Trump's deep unpopularity (check the latest margins) should be a source of deep reflection for the Democratic Party.
They need an intervention. Truth-telling, soul-searching, scathing self-criticism. Any other hyphenates that are appropriate.
Time ( actually way overtime) to get real.

Supercontroversial idea. You ready?
Here it is:
Just have bathrooms that all humans can use whenever they have to urinate, defecate, wash their hands, check if they have schmutz on their face or in their teeth, sing, or cry.
