hey @senmullin.bsky.social since you think violence is the way to settle ideological disputes, guess what? you don't deserve to run a department of the federal government. hell, you wouldn't get hired for ANY JOB IN THIS COUNTRY with that attitude.

that said, waffle house is accepting applications.

at 13, i was reading douglas adams. "ah, the 'don't panic' one," you might say. "that seems age-appropriate. surely there's nothing ironic or subversive or revelatory about the witlessness or fecklessness of politicians or bureaucrats in that guy's work."

"ah," i reply. "so you've read it."

one of the best things about joining this shared-grief-a-thon-slash-meme-measuring-contest of a website is learning the New Journalism baton not only survived COVID but has been passed from Tom Wolfe to Tom Junod to an entirely non-Tom whose work i today-appropriately turn green with envy as i read

TRUE FACT: in the 1940s, to "rub one out" meant to snuff or kill someone and now it means something HO BOY way different

for all the talk about how "unserious" some figures are in tech and politics and journalism etc., there is not nearly enough talk about how painfully incurious those same wastoids are

the original is already great but limited by the technology of its time, and the sequel deftly expands its narrative depth

whatever come at me

stephen colbert is, simply put, the most deeply decent and wickedly funny class act i have ever had the great good fortune to watch on television. his commitment to his colleagues and to his craft is unparalleled.

we have become almost exclusively a world of Salieris* and that's brought us to a time where we need Mozarts more than ever to undo the damage

*this is an imperfect metaphor as Salieri was devastatingly aware of his mediocrity, while today's Salieris are anything but
