I used “greenlighted” in a thread in which everyone else was using “greenlit” and, after thinking it over, decided to keep it. If “lighted” was good enough for ol’ Ernie, it’s good enough for me.

Surprised to see Chris Coons rise to the occasion—Jack Smith testimony to Senate Judiciary—and get things solidly back on track by recapping 1/6 events. Plain facts, and the last thing R senators want to hear.

I’d praise their games and recipes and then act sincerely stunned when it’s mentioned they also have a “news” section. “Good for you guys for branching out. That takes guts. Someone needs to do serious journalism about the Gaza genocide and climate collapse.”

I accept that coffee shops are now called diners for reasons not worth going into here. But ironic, faux-vintage diners are not worthy of the name. And don’t get me started on fake speakeasies.

“It’s fun to make pictures because you live, actually you live five, ten, or fifteen, or twenty different lives… You’re not going every day to a shop and selling hats your whole life. No. I have a hat shop, but also I am a brain surgeon and… I’ve lived many lives.” — Billy Wilder

She lied without thinking, latched onto various trends. She wrote about a world peopled with tribes of “hitmen” who didn’t do other crimes, they simply offered murder for hire. She was simple, Justine realized—simple, sweet, and inartistic. But people like that could cause a lot of trouble.

Mr. Beshear, it's understandable you hate being in this situation, but it's time to drop by unannounced with a casserole and a request to chat for a few moments to offer some well wishes on a speedy recovery. You're up. Let's go.

A bit of a breakthrough today, the day after my birthday. If this new plan goes half as well as it could, it’ll still be a doozy. I know what I need to do. Sometimes the day after matters more than the day of.

The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.
