Paddington missed me.

I just want to be the first pundit to observe that the time between now and 10/27 is a “lifetime in politics.” Now no one else has to say it.

🔴 BREAKING: Israeli election officially set for October 27

Also, the U.S. is unique because we have dozens of cities where ambitious people can excel in various careers and industries. I love the UK and London but London is a bottleneck politically, culturally and economically. You can’t move to Manchester or Birmingham and really compete at the top level in many careers. Paris has a little urban competition, but not much. Meanwhile New York City is an elite destination, sure. But you can become an extremely successful lawyer, architect, artist, singer, engineer, whatever, without moving to NYC. You can do that in Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, LA, SF, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Miami, Pittsburgh and even Philadelphia. The competition between urban centers is great for productivity and innovation. But this system of safety valves for the production of elites is also a huge engine of our success.

The US is the largest country in the world that speaks one language, has many power poles/major cities, and you are allowed to just get up and move to any of them without bureaucracy.

This photo must be seen by the entire world so people understand what Russia truly is.

A mother is holding her child as tightly as she can, trying to shield them with her own body while Russia drops guided аerial bоmbs on Sumy.

No child should grow up in a reality like this. No mother should have to become a human shield to protect her child.

My absolute favourite Lindsey Graham clip, when in 2010 he asked Justice Elana Kagan during her confirmation hearing where she was on Christmas Day.

You could see his warmth and humility here. He will be so sorely missed ...

It’s not even a conspiracy. This is just true.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Periodic reminder that “You didn’t tweet about what I think you should have tweeted about” is one of the lowest forms of Twitter replies. Relatedly: “You didn’t tweet what I wanted you to tweet about on my timetable” is also very dumb. Your expectations are not my obligations.

Russian anti-drone team sets up a Yak-B 12.7mm minigun borrowed from a Hind helicopter gunship in a truck bed, forgetting about the concepts of torque and recoil.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I think this is particularly common with old folks. I’ve always thought there was an evolutionary psychology angle to it. It’s a kind of hoarding/bragging: look at my trophies! I have resources! I’m important/valuable!

Not saying this is an all-explanatory theory for Trump or anyone else. But it always comes to mind when I see old people do it.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Saddened and surprised by the news. RIP. My condolences to his family, friends, and staff. The rest of the punditry can wait.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

Statement from the Office of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina).

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

@F75043976F That it’s inappropriate to talk about his passing in the replies to a silly dog tweet.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

“Good morning. It’s Sunday. I think it’s going to be a great day. I don’t know why but I have a feeling. Of course, if I nap a lot to prepare for it, that will make it a great day already. So I can’t lose. Also, I love you.”

[Karol Markowicz @karol]

I am so surprised that the Times photog with Khanna is an anti-Israel activist. Can not believe it.

[Matthew Hennessey @MattHennessey]

One thing you can do when someone dies is shut up.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

@Randy1116 @Apple Yes. It’s the criticism I chose. With all the actually interesting replies you could have offered, you chose this?

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I’m a huge @Apple guy. Have been for 30+ years. The Apple TV remote sucks. I’ve tried for years to think it was a me thing. It’s not.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

@dean_king2 @Apple Boring.

@cezargolescu @Apple How so?

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

A few short years ago, everything right wing was considered anti-Semitic. Now even a Nazi tattoo is ok, as long as you also hate Israel.
