I'm a millennial, I guess, but I somehow didn't get invited to any of the cool parties where we killed off entire brands and industries.

Single panel cartoon in the style of Gary Larson Far side.

Hacker T. Dog, a dog puppet in a flashy shirt, pulls a goofy smile behind a table of 4 crudely made tools as his co-host, Lauren, puts her thumb and forefinger to her nose trying to stifle laughter.

Caption reads "just normal tools."

Somebody should tell him the Zelenskyy did suspend elections for the duration of the war. Leave out that last bit and maybe he’ll come around.

I suppose you’re right. It’s why he eventually landed on β€œChina good” despite β€œcommunism bad.” (And also β€œChinese bad.”) And probably why he only pretends to hate Iran.

Holding up the new NYRB Classics edition of Mrs. Dalloway

A book stack featuring The Annotated Mrs. Dalloway, Mark Hussey’s Mrs. Dalloway: Biography of a Novel, my well-loved old edition, andβ€”coming soon from Columbia University Pressβ€”Edward Mendelson’s The Inner Life of Mrs. Dalloway. On top is the new NYRB Classics edition.

Just got the gorgeous NYRB Classics centenary edition of Mrs. Dalloway, edited by Edward Mendelson! First-edition text with Woolf’s own revisions, and a cover that nods to the original Hogarth Press design. Centennial editions of To the Lighthouse and The Waves are on the way…in a few years.

Plus, it was only ever states’ rights to harm, not state’ rights to help. Republicans were never in favor of individual states legalizing same-sex marriage or gender transitioning.

That, and he both loves and is desperately envious of other celebrities, and Zelenskyy is both a celebrity who became a politician AND rock-star famous for resisting Putin, so Trump should have done everything he could to become his best friend. And yet.

He hates anyone or anything that he deems to be a loser, and nothing has more loser stink than a world leader who can’t even conquer a weaker neighboring country after three years of war. And yet he still hasn’t abandoned Putin.

And that’s why Democrats in the House need to be holding weekly (Monday morning, preferably) press conferences detailing all the impeachable crimes Trump committed in the last week along with photos of Mike Johnson looking creepy and servile to explain why impeachment isn’t happening.

Lisa Murkowski,
So quiet and mousey,
Was eager and willing to please.
But when told "Do your duty!
And give Trump the boot!" she
Traded her vote for some cheese.
