I'm retiring my Chuck Schumer impression for a little bit because I had a terrifying dream in which Schumer kidnapped me, tied me up in a basement, and force-fed me "strongly ladled" lentil soup that tasted awful.
Yes, I actually dreamed this. It was horrifying when I dreamed it. But now it's just ridiculous.
Be careful with doomscrolling, folks. Especially if you have an imagination.

" Disney was completely unprepared for the backlash caused by its decision to take Kimmel off the air, a backlash so costly that the company reversed course after just five days — too late to avoid probably irreparable damage to its brand. And this time I hope and believe that other institutions will take notice."

Greg Lukianoff (The War on Words) discussed common arguments against #freespeech, and why he believes they are wrong. He also took calls from a national audience. This event took place at the 2025 National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.

Food for thought.
"Risky though it is, terrifying though it can be, that our only hope and actually, sorrow or joy, with this great risk is that of thinking for ourselves, and realizing it cannot be done for us.
There are no redeemers. There are no eternal fathers. There is no 'dear leader'. There is no great leader. There is no supreme leader to whom we can look for our own rescue morally or intellectually. I'll leave you with that thought."
--Christopher Hitchens
