Once in conservative media before it went insane. Also once a foreign service officer and an attorney. Sect. 230 is my passion. [email protected]

Congratulations!

And have fun with the COVID.

Today in my most recent search history. *Very* proud of this particular set.

The fascination and fetishization concerning cross-dressing among our elites is really dumb and has gone on far too long, and it's starting to become a serious threat to Western liberalism because Joe and Jennifer Workadaddy in Exurbia, Ohio apparently prefer autocracy to transgender crap.

I've been busy, baby.

(It's actually true. Much craziness. But I'm sure I will make it back to these hell sites too soon. I genuinely hope you are feeling better these days.)

Thank you! That makes so much sense.

Gift article. Now this is serious.

Tom Nichols says Trump is leading America into a full blown civil-military crisis. Senior military leaders must band together to object and refuse to obey Trump’s illegal orders. @ericowens.bsky.social

The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

I remember a truly amazing Daily Mail article. Imagine making the British tabloids for not liking Indian food.

Think about that.

This one, to me, is exactly like the baker and the gay cake. It's free speech vs. gay discrimination. And it seems very easy to me.

You can surely hold yourself out as a therapist who tries to stop people from being gay, or as a therapist who tries to make people gay.

Arguing about grammar and style is way more fun for me than it should be. Psycho fun.

Have your views on Indian food evolved?

You know what's a great word? Smuggler.

Like, it just sounds really cool and it's pretty funny that somebody made that sound the meaning for people who move illicit goods.

I have longed and longed for a Jesus show where the show takes the three years of Jesus seriously but also plays the comedy bits.

I know it's impossible. But I find a lot of great humor in the Gospels. It's not tweetable, of course.

They're still banning Forever by Judy Blume? That book was a very hot commodity in my sixth grade among the girls, and I really believe it was in part precisely because of the ban.

I'm against book bans, obviously.

We tend never to learn how these cases turn out. As I recall, it frequently depends on what the job is.

It's up to Americans to vote our way out of this disaster, and it's up to Americans who took oaths to defend the Constitution to defend the Constitution.

There are no other ways. A coup? Assassinations? Obviously no. There are no other ways.

So I saw "One Battle After Another" this weekend. It's great. Go see it.

Paul Thomas Anderson doesn't really deal in plots. He deals in stories. And I think most directors could never pull off this feat. But he creates absolutely amazing, thoughtful, entertaining stories.

Sigh. Yes. I agree on all counts. It's hard as a conservative now.

Telling the checkout clerks to "double-bag it" is another great one. Half the time, I get two bags when what I want is two bags in the same bag.

I've toyed with different language to no avail. Hilariously, **it's the same clerks**.

If you believe in conserving the principles of Western liberalism for yourself and your posterity forever then congratulations! You are a conservative.

Edmund Burke, the O.G., explained it best: Rights and all of civilization are but an inheritance. Nothing more or less.

Good luck with your book report for your history class!

The Republican Party prior to 2016 was a different party. If we had a dollar for every Trump voter who said "I used to be a Democrat but.." and has now voted for Trump twice, we could buy several mansions and yachts.

Trump created a **new bloc**. Democrats **must** create another new bloc to win.
