It has been over a decade since the architect and avatar of this corrupt and despotic regime descended that perfidious escalator from his gilded aerie to dominate our national politics.

Is this context-free tweet about something that happened in the Olympics just now or did something terrible occur that might precipitate World War III? Half the time, I can’t tell!

the Beatles catalog sounds so wildly multifarious in retrospect, and it is, but mostly that because context is lost in retrospect, and that context is, for some reason, the hollies

The thing about the United States is that it's not just the Supreme Court that's bent, or the Congress that's inert, or the media system that's crooked, or the economy that's tilted.

It's that all of those things are amplifying each other, in ways that make the situation intractable.

"Memories of past discrimination spelled demise for LDP's Mio Sugita in Japan election"
Too bad; she's a perfect fit for today's LDP. Takaichi likely has similar views—just knows enough to be circumspect about blurting them out.

On serve but a Henry and Harry seem listless, definitely the worse of the two teams. They’ve had to save a few break points already, Henry in particular doesn’t have his usual volleying touch.

It just makes you wonder: If you can’t trust a venerable institution like the British Royal Family, then who can you trust?
