If Canadians stop visiting America I think it might lead to a drastic reduction of reminders that Tate McRae is from Calgary.

Creating web sites to vilify "tech power" is a bit like taking communion to protest the Vatican.

Emeril Lagasse used to have a sitcom. Was the show a sign of culture rot or was the rot already so deep we were not able to appreciate how good it was?

The cover of People Magazine has Wynonna Judd saying "This is the Most Honest I've Ever Been" and I wonder if there was some problem with the level of Wynonna Judd's veracity? Is Judd honesty even needed? Who wouldn't choose the Judds over the truth? #WynonnaJudd #AshleyJudd #TheJudds

Going online to address the literacy crisis is a bit like going to Dairy Queen to address your weight issues.

Going online to make these pleas to save print media (books, magazines, libraries etc) is like the Pope going up to the altar to say “Let’s give the teachings of Jupiter and Minerva and Neptune a chance!" #books #magazines #libraries

Things will be better in America when we finally see that Ariana Grande is doing better. She does not owe the country but it would help us start to find our way out of this difficult time.

Their apology is so earnest it really makes it sound like there are people who are livid and inconsolable because the London Review of Books has been delayed in the mail.

The most compelling proponents of free speech are those who disagree with (and maybe dislike) the silenced but who defend their rights all the same: i.e. conservatives who defended Al Franken, liberals who defended Elon Musk etc.

The unknown can be fearful, yes, but AI might be our last hope to develop a world that forces people to appreciate the woke iteration of Charlie's Angels.

The bad news I expect seems as inevitable as Sabrina Carpenter rhyming "I guess so" with "espresso" but I know it will be so much less fun.

The modern academy cracking down on plagiarism would be like Hooters cracking down on the push-up bra.

In terms of literature, what could the current generation possibly do but look right into Dostoyevsky's eyes and say "TLDR"?

Public murals are a great way for the arts community to reach out to troubled neighborhoods and say "your poverty is our easel".

To be fair, there's nothing new about people thinking Texans should wake up and immediately start apologizing to Western Europe and to Massachusetts.

Being online all the time to argue against a.i. is like going to Pizza Hut to argue against tomato sauce. Principled and well intentioned, yes, but look at where your feet are.

If Caitlin Clark wants to cure a chronic illness like osteoarthritis I think that's fine but if she doesn't cure osteoarthritis I don't think we should get down on her.

I get the double standard between how the media treats Madonna for getting so old and how it treats Bruce Springsteen for getting so old but that doesn't mean it's fair to call Springsteen "Matlock Rock" or "The Lawrence Welk of Fist Pumping". That's just agism. #Springsteen

Imagine a raspy Matlock who, instead of using the law to prosecute the young, informs them about the beauty of America's Queens of the Supermarket. Bruce Springsteen Summer.

Considering the "free speech" context, I wouldn't ask for a traditional ban on those Bruce Springsteen parody songs that mock him for being so old ("Everybody's Got a Pudding Snack", "No More Driving in the Dark", "Matlock City") just an official acknowledgement that they are ageist and not funny!

Without embrace of once-frowned-upon passive grammar, how could we convince Americans that their fatness was so disgusting that they needed Ozempic?

For comparison's sake, I made the distinction that I didn't dislike Frank Zappa but that I disliked Frank Zappa fans but, then, I quickly realized that wasn't true either: of course I disliked Frank Zappa.

The original Buc-Ee's in the Lake Jackson area was mostly just a gas station and not yet the place that would become the focus of my family's sense of value, style, decor, cuisine and hope. #Texas #Buc-Ee's

Those parodies that mock Bruce Springsteen for getting older ("Scooter Riding in the Dark", "Baby, We're Gonna Soak our Corns", "Pudding Road") are weaponized expressions of corporate agism that go beyond satire and they should be banned.

The complex legacy of Lena Dunham's Girls is in how we cringed from characters because they so faithfully replicated the kind of people we saw in real life but had never seen on TV. It was the many Marnies in our lives that made us hate on Marnie—the characterization / acting is brilliant.

Dunking on Met Gala participants maybe tempting but it only deepens cynicism and fosters mistrust of our leaders. Did they pay Ben Stiller all that money for those Super Bowl ads so he could stay at home, drink diet Mr. Pibb and watch the Knicks on TV?

In Denmark, the pastries we call "danishes" are called wienerbrød (Vienna Bread) and what we call "American cheese" they call mælke-plast (milk plastic).

Oh, they will cry about "cancel culture" and "book banning" but do you honestly want to read a novel written by somebody who once tweeted their support for a proven non-ally like Donna Tartt?

Given the general collapse of reading culture, banning books now might be like banning Dairy Queen in Siberia. However, I still don't like the thought of people reading those books where Hemingway kills all those elephants.

Banning a harmful publication like The Taming of the Shrew is not a matter of censorship, it's a matter of being allowed to live without being called a shrew.
