Whenever I see a picture like this I am reminded that Ben Shapiro's solution is "just sell your house, then," and that among conservatives he is considered one of the smartest ones, and which given the competition he just might be.

If you're wondering about the sort of person who becomes a writer, for 3 years every day I have played chess with this one person and for 3 years I have lost every day and every day I go back for another go because this time could be the charm, it could happen, you never know

It is what they do NOT tell you in the general history books that make it interesting.

Like Pilgrims were recruited to farm tabaco in Virginia but were left on Plymouth Rock more or less because they were so miserable the captain wouldn't take them any further.

The shooting was preventable. Felon 47 should not have had the National Guard in DC. Noem should not have removed TPS from the Afghans. The regime is just using this so that they can crackdown more on people with ICE

Interesting documentary about the final decades of print production, how art was produced & prepared for publication before the Mac changed everything. All meticulously done by hand, using skills now forgotten. I experienced a decade of this world when I began my career.

Great stuff.

The concert by avant-garde multi-instrumentalist Harry Partch was at Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, Arizona, and @tnh.nielsenhayden.com and I are pretty sure we were at the same show, despite being several years away from meeting one another.

One of the most insidious ways that the class system (that people pretend doesn't exist) is perpetuated is the unpaid internship in an expensive city. If you don't have a subsidy from a well-to-do family or possibly a trust fund it's almost impossible to make it work and get on that career ladder.

a cancer nurse in a state I've never been to told messaged me and said that reading out Rice Truck aloud as it happened was the only day in her entire 14 year career on chemo ward that nobody cried and it's probably the best compliment I will ever get in my life
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.
