I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS has some of the best cinematography.

Our slop era intrinsically leans fascist.

True! Fun fact: They did this because someone leaked Robert Bork’s rental history during his confirmation battle.

I still remember fondly the first few weeks I was on the ‘mucil and his effortless life became.

Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant.

Nope.

There's a lot of out-of-state dark money trying to influence your local politics. Ask questions.

“His plan was working beautifully.” is just a super great way to end a chapter.

a man in a suit is smiling in front of a sign that says hulu Alt: Much like every performance in Paradise, James Marsden says “I like that”

I just really enjoy the show Paradise and think both seasons play in the sandbox the same way I would.

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao
