RIP to Todd Snider, arguably the greatest American songwriter of the last 30 years.
If you’ve never heard of him, listen to this track written from the perspective of a dude in Mike Tyson’s entourage. Sheer perfection.

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.
Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."
One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Anyone who thinks they’ll stop at banning discussion of trans identity is deluded. Once the legislature feels confident they can get away with this, they’ll ban discussions of climate change, the history of slavery, you name it. The American university is over.
Faculty should strike. Shut it all down. We teach from research not the whims of dummies.

Jimmy Kimmel is not a victim of "cancel culture." But he is the perfect example of what happens when white people are silent in the face of racism.

When someone who made a life of profiting from inhumanity is themselves on the receiving end of inhumanity, I don’t lose my humanity in response.
I acknowledge an act of inhumanity has occurred and will now cause suffering by people not party to it.
Then I return to places where humanity exists.
