It’s me

I think we should be honest that the *Greatest Generation* people [who were white] fought fascism ABROAD while they overwhelmingly supported fascism AT HOME. And frankly, those chickens have come home to roost now.

If this is all they got from her they got played

The ultimate test is Catherine or Jeffrey

I initially read this as evolutionary parapsychologist, which would be a cursed profession. Measuring crystal skulls, dating advice for werewolves, etc.

A lot of people asking for advice, and this is the case across topics, are really asking for cheat codes. That puts honest brokers at a profound disadvantage

If short guys never got laid there’d be no short guys

Seems like people tend to date people roughly on their level when it comes to looks. Seems like there are always guys who want to level up and can’t, or who overestimate their own looks (or personality or whatever) and then blame others for their rejection

To be fair, he sometimes lumps progressives into his efforts to explain away why his cohort consistently allied with the Republican Party instead of the Democrats

85% of what this guy said in the interview would collapse if you forced him to stop conflating the left with democrats

Ross Douthat [cautioning those nosy kids and their dog]: If you dislike the mysterious old ghost haunting the mansion, wait until you meet the old guy in disguise as that mysterious old ghost, trying to drive down property values so he can buy it all up himself.

Every writer who tells us we closed down too much during last pandemic is creating a permission structure for throwing us into the wood chipper during the next one

They’re creating a permission structure to ignore the next pandemic

There’s a color glut today, inasmuch as too many books are colored beyond the point of readability

Sounds like the doctor should have been paying you

The standard account of Me Too’s failure and backlash is that the status quo ante was restored: the temporarily embarrassed men were reemployed; the conditions of heterosexuality were unchallenged. But much of the supressed dismay and anger of that moment has been sublimated elsewhere.

I was impressed by how many of the young people I spoke with in a China had come to grips with the dire state of delivery drivers with a shrug of the shoulders. Reminded me of home
