Opposed to the death penalty, me. But if I did see capital punishment as appropriate for the worst crimes -- Eichmann in Jerusalem, or Timothy McVeigh or Dylann Roof -- the profundity of the state taking life in reply demands sobriety and a basic distaste for the undertaking. Not a public carnival.

@timbriody.bsky.social Hey Tim, I had to boot an absentee manager from my fantasy league and I need somebody to take over the team. They’re in first at 3-1. We’d just need you for this season (though if you wanted to stick around I’d be thrilled). Would you be interested?

I keep using the first person plural for this show like I'm a group of people or Queen Elizabeth. I'm neither. Yet. But if you are/were/may yet be a listener of this show, I HAVE ACQUIRED IT, I have AWOKEN IT FROM ITS TOMB, and I AM HATCHING PLANS. Would love your input. Two minutes. Thanks.

Hey, we're trying to think of what The Hilarious World of Depression will be next and would LOVE your input. Here's a survey that will take two minutes tops and would help us a whole lot. I keep saying we and us but it's just me. John. For now! So far! Thanks! form.jotform.com/262707134911...

My editor is clearly expecting words in the manuscript this morning. I must oblige her.

On the Southwest Chief headed to Chicago, sitting in the observation car. There’s a guy on the phone in here who sounds exactly like Randy Snutz. Have confirmed it’s not actually @timbaltz.bsky.social. @cbbworld.bsky.social @brettmorris.bsky.social

To folks who think caving on things like “Lake America” doesn’t matter in the long run… It does. It invites more such ego-serving It suggests that there’s no push back. It teaches people to expect more of the same. It matters.

Helpful rule of thumb: Good criticism is about how well you did what you were trying to do. Bad criticism is about whether you should be doing what you were trying to do.

You're not going to believe this but Gavin Newsom is taking the side of capital over workers. In this case it's tricky because he's backing the very MAGA allies his cosplaying X account claims he's fighting. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Have been a member of the @whca.bsky.social almost continuously since the 1990s. Our mission is to defend the First Amendment rights of White House correspondents to report on the president without fear or favor. Unfortunately last night did not advance that cause. Time to rethink the dinner.
