Unpopular opinion, probably said here by me before: Changing the clocks twice a year is a minor, 24-hour inconvenience and a common-sense solution to make clock time more closely match the way we live our lives in summer and winter. Screw the ridiculous Sunshine Protection Act.

“Republicans are the cause of your problems not the solution” is a winning message every election but they’re bringing literal receipts now

When I saw the headline and subhed, I feared she had been diagnosed with something terrible, but no. It's a piece well worth reading, even if you thought you'd had your fill of Dave Barry.

The Final Battle for America’s Democracy
Forget November 3. It’s January 3 when Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans might bury our democracy once and for all. Here’s how.

Me, to another party guest this p.m.: "Did you ever watch a series called 'The Knick'?" Phone stirred and dialed the only Nick in my contacts. I hit the red button immediately but he later returned. "A series called The Knick" became "Siri, call Nick" and what else is that bitch telling HQ about me?

Here's the case Johnson and Abdul have to make (not to win over Trump voters but to depress them): This trade war and Trump's tantrums guiding our economic policies won't stop until there are Senators and a Senate willing to check Trump.

Need a slapstick buddy comedy about how these two unlikely bros hop around the globe to “negotiate peace,” but somehow end up stuffing their pockets and setting everything on fire before jetting off to the next negotiation.

I submit this is the most important story of the day. In 2017, a sailor told the President that the old steam carrier catapults were better than the new electric ones, probably in the same way your elderly neighbor says carburetors were better than these new fangled fuel injectors.

It was hard to anticipate that the guy who had spent the last several decades monomaniacally focused on promoting lies about vaccines would, given authority over them, try to curtail access and cut off research. Send a wallet inspector to the Senate Republican Caucus.

It so happens the algorithm has been serving me videos of people 1) arguing w/cops in traffic stops; and 2) claiming sovereign-citizen status ("I wasn't driving, I was traveling"). This neatly combines the two. Algorithm, I'm done now. No more videos, please.

In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.

Look, I'm on record as not believing Tubby is 100 percent wrong in all things. The penny's time is over; he was right to kill it. But this is a stupid, stupid idea, and when kids are run over on their way to school in the dead of winter, I hope you'll remember I told you so.

They had to dig deep to find this photo. He is a 67-year-old man now, which kinda undercuts their image of a TDS-crazed pool-vandalizer. (And does support his story, that he was riding his bike by the pool and stopped to take a look.)

He's 80 and in terrible shape. I could handle the thought if he was even 20 years younger, but knowing PIV is almost certainly off the table, and even moving around in bed is probably a challenge, I honestly get queasy imagining their interludes. I bet there's a nurse outfit in her closet.
