I was asked about this earlier today at a campaign event in terms of whether I would take the over or under on her lasting a Scaramucci and responded “oh I’m definitely taking the under”

A typed-up letter:
Dear beautiful women,
I've started this letter like ten times and deleted it every time because very time I start I cry. So I'm just going to write it.
Your flag matters to me. It matters so much that it's flying at a lesbian household where anyone walking by can see it.
I'm a trans girl so I'm not sure you can relate but I'll try. Most days I'm doing math in my head like which hallway is safer, who I can sit near at lunch whether it's worth saying something or just letting it go. I'm so tired. I don't think people who don't have to do it know how tired it makes you.
I walk past your house almost daily. The first time I saw the flag I slowed down without meaning to. It was just hanging there like it was no big deal but to me it was everything. It felt like the people inside would see me as who I actually am and I wouldn't have to explain or prove anything. My shoulders dropped for the first time all day and I almost cried right there in front of your home.
I know that living here isn't easy for gay people like you where not everyone is kind about it so putting that flag up means risking stares, comments or worse. You did it anyway, and that is the bravest thing I've seen anyone do. Every day it stays up it tells people like me that someone is willing to be brave so we don't have to be alone. Now I look for it. Some days it's the one thing that makes me feel like I'm not imagining that I deserve to be here. When so much of the world feels like it's deciding whether there's room for me your flag says there is. Please keep it up. You might not know it but it's helping me get through the day.
Thank you for your courage, and for leaving the porch light on for the rest of us.

Jon Moxley is so much more than a professional wrestler. He is a leader as sets an example that has no ego, he wants everyone to succeed and be the best they can be. But in the dark times when TK needed a man he could trust more than anyone it was him. He is Mr All Elite Wrestling! #AEW

I also get the sense Healey believes “falsehood” is just the word “lie” wearing a monocle, so same-same, right? But readers subconsciously know the NYT is avoiding the word “lie” when they hear “falsehood”. It’s not landing as the same word. If it were a lie, they’d just say “lie”.

It's amazing how these people have just grown more numerous and more bold.
From MAD Magazine 1968

See the Super Patriot.

Hear him preach how he loves his country.

Hear him preach how he hates "Liberals".

And "Moderates"... and "Intellectuals"..

And "Activists"... and "Pacifists"

And "Minority Groups"... and "Aliens"...

And "Unions"... and "Teenagers"...

And the "Very Rich"... and the "Very Poor"..

And "People With Foreign-Sounding Names".

Now you know what a Super Patriot is He's someone who loves his country

While hating 93% of the people who live in it.

He's been such a strong and stable presence in the days since Pac's passing. So it's really hard to watch him express through his art of choice that he too is grieving and struggling and hurting. Its natural to use art to process grief. And Mox doesnt paint or sing, he wrestles.

You have to imagine it's a crushing amount of pressure to be a leader when a death happens. Mox can't afford to fall apart even if he wants to. To watch him communicate the real pain he's feeling through the performance of being a Wrestler is potent and so painful.
