Never cruel, nor cowardly. Never give up, never give in.
There comes a time, where a man of letters says: I don't know what to tell you.

And it's the most damning thing you'll hear in a good long while...

I know the one you mean, but uh... I definitely thought you meant the other Luigi for a hot second

I couldn't understand the one that was stationary over downtown Saint Paul around lunchtime, then a friend who works downtown heard there was activity at the Intercontinental...

Ya know, could be better, could be worse. Ole says he's got a case of the sniffles only whisky can fix.

Sven's gassing up the snowcat, got a bottle of JD buckled in the passenger seat just in case. Heard a cold front's moving in

But also, doesn't this fail at the level of signage? Like, that walkway isn't the Rose Garden? (the Rose Garden isn't the Rose Garden so much at the presidential patio now, but that's besides the point) at least tack on "Thank you for visiting..." at the front

No one is gonna go for "boob-berry?"

I've heard showstoppers a thousand times. Big vocal productions, engineered to get a hand. This might be one of the first where Sondheim tried to build in the button for the applause, and the orchestra literally ran out of music to play to fill.

Chills, in the best way

Also, it's ice vs ICE out there everyone

Noise, indeed. Useful... we'll just have to wait and see

And all social media posts are directly from the named account, at that very minute...

Again, if I was a rich GOP guy, it would make more sense to try and force an extra senate vote and potentially pick up a seat...

It's like he sees himself as a rhetorical fencer, but when he notices no one else is suited up, he gets scared.

To be honest it feels a little like he's trying to overcome his own stage fright. Pusillanimous.

Notice the verbal tics, if I may have the stage for a moment, you're being smarmy Jake, you want the headline.

If he believed this BS he wouldn't have to call out the artifice

Maybe, could also be Edina Edwards editorializing. He quotes his favorite economist later in the tale, but not his brother, is all I'm saying
January 6, 2026 at 5:44 AM
TBH the brother isn't directly quoted, he could have just said "What do you think about your new mayor?"
