That's astounding. I had no idea about so much of it. And so many questions...

Sir, the published except where Dolan says he knew nothing about Bob was very odd. There aren't a lot of US cardinals, and when Bob was made one a couple of years ago, a political actor like Dolan would've learned everything he could.

Crazy. They had one from under the goalposts that looked good, and then didn't show it again

My interaction with him was sound the George Floyd protests, when he was living in Manhattan Beach and he went off in detail about how many people he and a few friends could kill by establishing checkpoints around that community. A truly sick individual.

That's when it's all becomes performative, for an audience that's never satisfied.

Thanks for articulating something I've served too. The quality of the games are still good, but there's an ugliness in the air too... that it feels more joyless and 'professional' than pro football now

The only vote they cast that matters is their first one - the vote to organize the chamber. Everything else is trivial in comparison.

TBF, he was convinced that D's were going to rack up big gains in the House in 2020 based on private polling he'd seen. I think the outcome made him a little gun-shy.

The fact we remember that image nearly forty years later points to how indelible it was/is.

A little Mandela effect at play here too... I always remembered the Horton ad as having the revolving door at the prison gates, and it doesn't. I must've conflated it with something else.

August 2021 was the tipping point - the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal and inflation really beginning to spike. He never recovered from it.

Oddly enough, I'm watching "Cocktail" and the moment I read this post Tom Cruise was describing champagne as "perfume going down, sewage coming up."

I swear to God, on first scroll I thought you wrote "PLAN NINE" and was excited for an Ed Wood deep dive.

My favorite Kurt Schlichter memory is how he went off - in detail - on how he and a few of his friends with guns could seal off Manhattan Beach (where he lives) from any George Floyd protests. He was very specific about how many people he could slaughter at his "checkpoints."

An underappreciated byproduct of this era is how so many educated and accomplished men and women debase themselves by trying to copy Donald Trump's faux-alpha online voice.

It's a variation of the corporate adage that the true power in any meeting lies with the person who says the least. And these guys just want to keep talking.

When I was early in corporate life I got to fly in the corporate jet with some senior execs. Instead of talking about markets and strategy like I thought, they talked about who was sleeping with whom. I realized the higher up you go, the more personal it gets.

I had a lovely pot pie at a pub in London recently that was served with almost this exact same vent. The temptation to pocket it was nearly too much to resist...

The irony is, Clinton didn't even want to do it - he spent much of 1993 grousing that he was working for the bond market.

If you suddenly start bawling when Sia's "Breathe" plays, then it's because you're thinking of the "Six Feet Under" finale, the greatest in TV history.

Molly, I wonder if Walter's abrupt sale has something to do with the Guggenheim investigation? Maybe he needs to free up time & cash?

I live on Wilshire in Westwood in a building built in the 80s, and it's kind of an anachronistic hoot to see it in the scene where Tate picks up the hitchhiker, but normies won't know the difference. :-)

So much of life is about picturing counterfactuals, yet art seldom goes there. Re: QT, Inglorious Bastards goes there bravely too, albeit with far less earned emotion (but with more bravura.)

I have no problem with requiring remediation and transparency. "Minimum seat footprints" should be guided by safety issues alone. But airline regulation before Kahn went much further, into (broadly) setting fares.

Can't agree with you there. The othe great K got it right and truly democratized air travel.
