Occurs to me that the last two years can be read as a period of jock ascendence in the eternal jock-nerd struggle for dominance. And it’s offering a pretty good reminder of the value nerds offer.

Haha this is spot-on, and I could name podcasts in each of these categories, but with unseemly and silly pride I must say I only listen to the seventh category: Nice leftie explains a history/culture thing to another nice leftie

I like this cartoon so much we paid the New Yorker the fee it requested to include it in my book. We’ve not even had the vote 100 years. Let’s not let thing backslide. Happy International Women’s Day, one and all.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Someone who is actually worthy of our respect is now speaking: Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger. And, lest someone confuse what I meant: Donald Trump is NOT worthy of our respect.

I can’t stand the SOTU, but wonder if Thump will be able continue to stand for what is likely to a record. Or if the microphone he’s screaming into will continue to stand also. It’s an endurance test, that’s what it is.

High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons
