Never mind.

The way I read it, “the top of so many social hierarchies” applies to the class in which Long is a member (hetero, white, and male), but not to him as an individual. The gap between where he thinks he should be and where he actually is, and the cumulative effect of all those perceived indignities, then fuels his…

two-thirds of the House would have to vote in favor, and the current partisan split makes this an impossible feat.

This is a good read (although it probably doesn’t tell you anything you don’t already know):

Hermes is using mushroom leather, too, though sourced from another company.

Is that a neckbeard?

High chairs are certainly appropriate for toddlers.

We do know that Joe Biden’s personal taste steers toward the conventional; no one can really argue against it, but no one will really be that enthusiastic about it, either. He feels most comfortable in the middle of the road.

That’s not what I meant. By all means give, be it a lot or a little. My “end up poorer” comment refers to what she said when she signed the Giving Pledge — that she’d give away her wealth “until the safe is empty.” It’s kind of hard to do that when the stock market keeps giving her more money.

They’re put in storage. There’s a White House warehouse.

It is. All the other presidents put chairs at the sides of the desk, but Trump puts it in front. It’s very antagonistic.

Apparently it had to wait until Jackie Kennedy (and her designer) to realize that there’s no ironclad law saying furniture must be placed against walls. Good call, Jackie.

Given his title, he’s probably tenured, so getting fired is unlikely. The point of tenure is to allow someone the academic freedom to pursue controversial or unpopular perspectives, with the downside that sometimes stuff like this get published.

I was originally going to ask what Ramseyer’s motivation was, seeing as he (theoretically) should have no stake in upholding the Japanese side of the story. Then I looked up his bio (https://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/directory/10697/Ramseyer):

Depends on how the stock market acts, he doesn’t even have to lose any money. After Ms. Scott donated part of her wealth last summer, she made it all back inside a week.

True. I cringe when I watch her cut stuff.
