Robert McCarthy

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

remember: one day you will feel this happy for real

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

Enjoying an unhurried and delightful meal at The Table Of Success. My waiters keep bringing me off-menu amuse bouches "from the chef." Ah here comes another crudo. Sublime.

True fact: There is no publicly displayed portrait or likeness on campus of LSU's first president.

And let the record show he was undefeated against Georgia and South Carolina

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

It's cool, and feels amazing, to realize that we're going to have a recession because the president thinks that kids have too many dolls now. It's obviously very stupid, but feeling like you should/do have the right to discipline other people's kids is also a core conservative value.

But we're going to have beautiful empty shelves and it's something I think you'll be seeing very soon. We won't be the country of clutter anymore. [doing accordion hands] it's called minimalism. Ok?

Me five minutes after drafting Dillon Gabriel: Alright, yeah, that's my bad

can’t really be overstated how important it was that in an era where almost every single institution we have is being dragged towards fascism, one little old man devoted his life to shoving the world’s oldest institution towards more charity, grace and inclusivism.

I went with the average ticket price for the Texas/A&M game this year ($1,072) plus the number of offensive TDs the Aggie fans saw their team score (zero).

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Honestly this is like hearing that Stephen Miller got arrested for fucking a corpse. I’m like “huh, yeah, okay, that makes sense.”

America lived fast and is now dying young Threats to U.S. passport holders. Compromised news outlets. Constant cuts and layoffs. Drew Magary writes on his life under President Donald Trump.

Somehow writing this cured (some of) my newsphobia. Regaining my strength a bit. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Above all, “Rot” reminds us that the Great Hunger was a very modern event, and one shaped by a mind-set that is now again in the ascendant. The poor are the authors of their own misery. The warning signs of impending environmental disaster can be ignored. Gross inequalities are natural, and God-given. The market must be obeyed at all costs. There is only one thing about the Irish famine that now seems truly anachronistic—millions of refugees were saved because other countries took them in. That, at least, would not happen now.

Holy hell, the kicker on this NYer article about the Irish potato famine www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
