In honor of my last day of classes ever at @Princeton, I proudly present:

Every single class I've taken at Princeton University as an out-of-context quote from comedian John Mulaney.

Let's do this.

2. The second is a review of @alex_usyd's excellent "Liberalism as a Way of Life" by Benjamin Ball. Ball asks whether we ought to consider democracy as a way of life. https://t.co/R2tEcShFxV

Excellent review of my Liberalism as a Way of Life by Benjamin Ball for @MarginaliaROB.

Ball says I'm too hard on democracy (I'm sure he's right) and wonders, with Dewey and others, what "democracy as a way of life" looks like.

"I've got a date with destiny, and it ain't gonna end with a kiss" which is from Phineas and Ferb

[Imogen West-Knights @ImogenWK]

there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?

Y’all these Columbia radio WKCR journalists. Brave, compelling, professional, and even-keeled reporting. I am in awe.
