I agree sentiment is changing. Until the electoral system follows, sentiment will be irrelevant. The GOP will only have to do just enough suppression in just the right places to continue winning presidential elections despite losing the popular vote by millions. Those Republican presidents will populate the judicial…

The consensus of the country has been fixed for decades now. Reproductive rights, marriage rights, etc. A strong majority has decided on these issues.

Should have probably noted that this is a quote from John Guare’s “Six Degrees of Separation” (which I consider the definitive literary commentary Cats).

Jaguars Junction of NYC thinkpieces?

I have no illusions about the merits of Cats, but the world has been too heavy with the right-to-lifers protect the unborn, constitutional amendments, when does life begin? Or the converse - the end of life, the right to die. Why is life, at this point in time, so focused upon the very beginning of life and the very…

The Junior Soprano defense.

The butthole has no special powers against the sun’s UV rays. This is a very bad idea medically and is potentially quite painful.

There used to be this website called “Deadspin” (it was pretty good!) that did what I still consider to be the definitive take-down of Whitlock. It was biting and they had ALL the receipts:

The terrible irony is that the risk to life and limb the NFL poses makes a strong union more of necessity than any of the other sports.

This critique is aces. Simon was always the master of show don’t tell. But having that final scene in Sanitized and Soulless Times Square with Very Important Ghosts imparting meaning and importance to everything that has happened... it was as subtle as a fucking hemorrhoid.

Ronan Farrow has position, power, money, fame, and resources... and he still BARELY got the news of a verifiable monster out to the public.  It’s chilling to consider how many Weinsteins are out there who are not being chased by a journalist in a position to catch them.

The petulance of this makes me wonder if Deadspin should rethink its stance on the Cardinals having the most insufferable fanbase in sports.

I guess the Good Place is done filming its final season... but Minshew visiting Jason to give some sort of Caine in Kung Fu lecture on finding himself would be a high quality cameo.

I don’t know what I hate more... the cloying tears and apology tours of evil doers of the past or the “I REALLY DON’T CARE DO U” that seems to work so well today.

The super wealthy in particular aren’t concerned with politics.  They’re concerned with interests.

MAGA jorts territory and mainland China have a more symbiotic relationship than it would appear, tbh.

When the Patriots had Brown, the Chiefs were quite possibly willing to greatly overpay out of fear of him wrecking a shoddy secondary in another AFC championship game loss. With AB returning to the world from whence he came, there’s less urgency to give up two #1's (and more than that, reportedly).

I feel like this ends with a “press” conference at Holiday Inn breakfast bar (maybe La Quinta?) where someone’s fly is down.

Roy Cohn is a sonofabitch on the order of any of the worst of the reactionary right today. He represented Trump when he was sued for not renting to POC. Cohn was selected because of politics (“John Birch Society”) and the frequency with which he represented members of the Gambino crime family. Trump idolized him and…

Literally no law abiding, adult person speaks in code.  The only people who do are children with a clubhouse and people up to no good.  This may be an unusual instance where the person speaking in code is both those things.
