This is really important. You don’t have to achieve instant universal adoration. You just have to have a few people — people other people listen to sometimes, ideally — you have to have a few people who talk about your work, like, all the time
You don’t really have to be read by everybody. You just have to be read a few total maniacs who love your work to distraction and won’t shut up about it

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

"The governor is a big fat slob."

[1 minute later]

"I had a little bit of a Pritzker joke. Some speechwriter wrote some joke about his weight, but I would never want to talk about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob."

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

On Failures of the Poets:

"Robinson acknowledges across Failures of the Poets both the ambition and limitations of poetry, wresting small pleasures from the grand collapses—economic, ecological, existential—of human history."

The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism.

MELVIN: The president repeatedly did say though that he would end the war on day 1, and we are some 250 days into the administration

MARCO RUBIO: Yeah, but that's not up to us to end the war

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech

TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.
