Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

For various reasons I've been reading about the band Extreme, and am delighted to discover that they all have 90s heartthrob names – Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Kevin Figueiredo – except for the bassist, who's called Pat Badger.

It is indeed wild that the pundit class simply cannot comprehend a person without an arc or story. He was born a selfish egotistical asshole, and he will remain one the rest of his life.

It is amazing to me that the most powerful and best-paid people in political media are still caught up in the idea of A Striking New Tone From Trump. I wrote this in 2020, but the idea goes back to 2017. At this point it says more about them than it does about him. newrepublic.com/article/1571...

Oh *three* lions. I thought it was *sealions*. Makes more sense for a landbased sport if it's lions. Still not an ideal situation to find yourself in. Worse, if anything.
