Cultural misappropriation?Cultural embezzlement? Cultural wire fraud?

And on the strength of the elevator pitch to the sub-basement the clowns at the Tesla shareholders’ meeting decided to bestow upon their clown-in-chief a trillion-dollar incentive package.

That sounds…joy-depleting.

Anytime you’re “railing” in the discursive sense, you are on the path to huskdom just as surely as a boomtown tilts toward busting.

Consider making yourself a smoothie.

This carries a few big stretches of the show

Yeah, but who’s gonna wanna sign her words. The translators have to touch their loved ones with those hands.

On flipping television, fercrissake!

You won’t respond to the reasonable critique—that this deliberate misgendering, intended as a personal slight against a class of people, is disruptive. Instead, you offer weak boilerplate and schoolyard taunts about “the Jews.” Why is that? Why is it so hard for you to respond to the substance here?

Why will you not answer the core critique: that this speech is disruptive?

It would appear that “fit to print” does. It mean what I thought it did.

Such a good movie!

NYT INTERESTING TIMES Did Women Ruin the Workplace? And can conservative feminism fix it? By Ross Douthat and Victoria Chamberlin

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

And as if they haven’t regularly financed a candidate who promises the moon, and then spends his entire time in the White House showing his ass.

And every time Ross Douthat publishes another smarmy scold-screed, it’s one more shart on the road to full editorial incontinence for the #NYTimes.

"Warns"? Geez, what next? He'll be calming he invented Nerdropes?

Ross Douthat, America's perpetual motion machine of caviling bad faith and oleaginous reactionary apologetics. Of course he's not impressed.

Rock on, Collegeville!

Mel Blanc knew. He died as he lived: “That’s all folks!”

Let’s never forget what a garrulous nitwit this Bill Ackman is.

Fake news

Time lapse video tho

It strikes me as counterintuitive that there are people who will invest substantial sums of money with this guy.

“Leadership”

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Because one of those functions expresses who we are as a nation.

That would be Nancy Mace. Something tells me the voters of SC will save her the trouble by not hiring her.

Au revoir les enfants

My reading life goes back before the digital age, and I can remember when so much more of what I knew was situated between the covers of a title and under the aegis of an author. It wasn't blind faith because it was IN A BOOK. It was more a matter, I guess, of provenance.
