This is distractful because of illiterate.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

J. D. Vance’s second memoir, “Communion,” tells the story of his decision to become Catholic, but it’s strangely distasteful of the faith he has joined. https://t.co/q9ihZviSMx

@wombatdno That’s within the rules.

A big thank you to Left Bank Books for hosting us last night!

Congats to the 22-year-old son of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for raising $30 million on his new company with a $300m valuation.

His prior work -- as a Senate intern and then in the Congress Influence department at Andreessen, Horowitz -- is a testament to our meritocracy!🇺🇸

We are living with an insane degree of public corruption in both political parties reminiscent of our last Gilded Age, a term coined by Mark Twain. Jim Fisk would recognize John Cafaro as a soul brother.

[Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) @ColMoeDavis]

This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.

I went to the first showing of Woody Allen's Manhattan when it opened in 1979. A theater in Westwood Village. Packed house. Every seat filled for a 10 am show. Film starts, Rhapsody in Blue plays, but the film is out of register. After about ten seconds, I shout, "It's out of register."

The guy in front of me turns around. "Hey, man," he says. "It's Gordon Willis," meaning the cinematographer.

"You're an idiot," I said, and started shouting louder for the projectionist, "Out of register."

Guy in front turns around again. "Ssh, man, it's Gordon Willis," he says, because I am literally the only person in the whole theater shouting.

A minute later the film stops, lights come on, and the manager runs down in front of the screen to apologize, explaining that the film had just arrived minutes before the showing and they hadn't had a chance to calibrate the throw.

When the film starts again, there were those beautiful black and white tableaux in perfect register. I tapped the guy in front of my on the shoulder. "*That's* Gordon Willis."

This monstrosity in Chicago is more out of register than any building of the last 50 years. And you i/o are the guy in front of me in that theater.

Perhaps you are beginning to heal!
However, you still read too quickly, and with a bit too much ideological torque, which skews your comprehension of what words might mean. If you slow it down a bit, you’ll see that we promised a story on whether a similar phenomenon could happen here — or is happening here. We did not promise a story about whether “European rape gangs could come here.” We do guarantee that you will be interested in the story.

@JustDeprecated Probably.

Turns out, everything our grandparents thought was cool, is cool.

Real food. Guns. Fishing. Hunting. Offensive jokes. Not trusting the government. Raising a family. Peace and quiet. A simple life.
