Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Is it just me, or has no one made a “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina” joke yet? Maybe I missed it.

@uniformcritic Not generally a fan of the early Diamondbacks colors, but I like the pinstripes (thanks Buck!) and the sleeveless jerseys.

Because there’s a time and place for it. Once you accept the premise that anything’s cool and fine in the name of fun, where does it end? People dressing up as Batman at a funeral or office? Why not? It’s just people having fun.

Best @WSJ article ever?

New York’s richest residents can’t stop talking about Mamdani, the Democratic nominee. To many of the city’s uberwealthy, his sustained popularity has been a shock. The 33-year-old, self-described democratic socialist is the overwhelming favorite to win City Hall next month, on a platform that includes free buses and free child care—programs that, as the moneyed are well aware, somebody needs to shell out for.

“I hope Mamdani is going to give out free Xanax,” said Caroline Leventhal, a lifelong Upper East Sider who co-founded “Mic’d and Medicated,” a podcast that dissects the lifestyle of cosmetic surgeries and private ski instructors. “It’s hard to be chill and relaxed.”...

One millionaire venture capitalist said that up until Mamdani’s decisive primary win, she had been oblivious to the extent of anger among the city’s youth.,,,

One hedge-fund founder who was a major donor to President Trump proudly declared he is rooting for Mamdani to win, but only because he thinks a victory by the nominee would boomerang and make it easier for conservatives to take control in later elections.

Others are prepared to make the best of it. One CEO said she already spends as much time as she can in Rome and is thinking about making a more permanent move.

“It’s not like the guillotine is coming out,” said Roberts, the retired banker, who spoke via Zoom from a vacation in Paris.
