It was great to take a deep dive into the work of Cormac McCarthy with this illustrious group last night and to be treated to two incredible readings from McCarthy's new books, "The Passenger" and "Stella Maris". A fascinating night for fans of the great contemporary writer.

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

Yeah… we waive consecutive interpretation. Just report it, ok? Save the tired Twitter cliches?

[Seattle Weather Blog @KSeattleWeather]

Rain in 72 hours.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

An utterly useless and trivial topic as we stand on the threshold of fascism. Do you really imagine that discourse on this topic will change anyone’s mind, on either side, or save a single life, whichever ‘truth’ you assert?

[Harry Shearer @theharryshearer]

On #leshow today--was President Biden correct when he said "the pandemic is over"? Noon PT https://t.co/KcrHbja1H9. 8p CT https://t.co/RusaTssQcb, 10p ET https://t.co/QDrawaRNbJ (AM820), other select public radio stations throughout the day. Or podcast via Apple and Spotify.

It isn’t “deeply sad”, it’s natural selection.

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

Unsurprising but deeply sad analysis of "excess deaths" in Florida and Ohio. In the pandemic's early months, Republicans and Democrats died at similar rates. After vaccines became available, Republicans died at higher rates. https://t.co/LWkiic57Xp

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

Isn’t sending California tax dollars to Florida another self-serving, disingenuous political stunt made at the expense of unwilling citizens?

Interesting from @JakeMGrumbach about deeper trends here:

1) Red states have grown very innovative in advancing a reactionary national agenda.

2) Incentives are rising for blue states to innovate this way, to offer a clear alternative national vision

I scoffed at remote television… I scoffed at remote car keys. I want one of these. To hold my television remotes, of course.

Finished designing, building and assembling most components: Turns out my table can actually WALK as well as I hoped it would! Next steps: Implement remote control, connect a battery, and open up the throttle...

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

And did they?

[Dr. Xenos Mason @XenosMason]

This is dazzling, crushingly beautiful, crying-in-the-kitchen writing. Neurologists must always hear and remember the stories of our patients, and this one is so important. Thank you @AmyBloomBooks for the gift of Brian’s story, and of your story.

The strategy is obvious… the more muddled her ruling, the easier it is to sell it to magaland, and the easier to justify endless appeals.

[Alan Rozenshtein @ARozenshtein]

On further reading, it appears that Cannon has given DOJ enough wiggle room to do what it needs to do, but refuses to admit as much. So she gives in without getting to look reasonable. I have no idea what the strategy is here.

[Nancy Levine Stearns @nancylevine]

I need new tennis shoes, but won't buy @newbalance.

New Balance founder & CEO Jim Davis has donated more than $700,000 to MAGA Republicans Rick Scott, Steve Scalise & @NRSC Senate Republicans, combined, since June.

Depends on the chocolate, actually. You’re off the hook if it’s fair/trade

[Teri Kanefield @Teri_Kanefield]

More soon.

I went to get some more ☕️. I'll horrify my Seattle peeps by admitting that it is flavored with caramel and chocolate.

@KirkHerbstreit signs embodying racism, misogyny, politics, and religion have no place on @CollegeGameDay. They sully the virtues of sport, and contribute to divisiveness.

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

First thing you see on College Game Day is bullshit signs about Jesus. Who is in control, ESPN?

[ESPN @espn]

We have a packed weekend of college football‼️

@itsthebaldgirl, @harrylylesjr and @HDouglas83 are live in Columbus for Countdown to GameDay. Plus, @davidpollack47 and @ReeseClarett13 join the show to break down Notre Dame vs. Ohio State! https://t.co/7MNOMu5MKd

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

And you, who somehow decided the the common good was better served by promulgating his sickness rather than ignoring it???
Do you have an expectation of having persuaded someone?

[Reed Galen @reedgalen]

What is it with this family? Dad obsessed with daughter. Son obsessed with dad. Daughter obsessed with the #MetGala (she’s never going again, btw.)

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

You have polluted your identity by flooding me with entreaties to read EM’s booklist. Your little green logo is no a go-past-this-tweet sign … always

[Blinkist @blinkist]

Leadership expert Simon Sinek recommends these 8 books to drastically change the way you think about management, business, and life.

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

85,000,000 people voted for him two years ago. I haven’t seen the evidence that suggests they won’t again. Remember, Hitler took over Germany with the the support of a third or less of the German electorate

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

@BillKristol Final? Wow… such optimism

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

Why is musk’s reading list appearing 5 times a day on my Twitter feed??? I couldn’t care less what oligarchs are reading. Somebody sell him a yacht or something.

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

Old enough to remember when genital size was NEVER a topic of discussion in political campaigns.

[Stuart Weibel @stuartweibel]

How ‘bout dem Mainers?!

Yankees fall to 12-23 in their last 35 games after a 9-2 loss to the Blue Jays at the Stadium.
