Noooo! Catherine O’Hara was a comedy genius & if you don’t think Best In Show & Waiting For Guffman weren’t her best roles ever, I will fight you.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

These civil war comparisons are idiotic. In the 1850s, the USG was in the right & southern militias were seditious felons. Now, it’s the USG committing murder & reckless endangerment. And neither side wants to secede. See the lack of parallels?

Why jet lag, why?!! I’ve been in this time zone for 9 days! Why are you keeping me awake at 3:45 am now? I should be all synched up.

I’m not a woo-woo ghosty person, but I just found out that my great, great grandmother & I have almost the same name. She’s Zlata or Zlachta. I’m Szlatchta (in Polish). ::shiver:: I’m going to visit her house & grave in southern Poland this weekend.

I thought "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” was THE core American value. Anyone who doesn’t support what Statue of Liberty represents can GTFO.

Anyone want to bet on how soon Trump says the N-word in one of his speech/rants? Temporal frontal deterioration is strong in that one. His filter is disintegrating & I’m expecting him to rant about the kikes, chinamen, chinks, nips, pinkos, & camel jockeys any second now.

They know their audience has an insatiable appetite for seeing black women humiliated for exceeding their station, so when it didn’t happen they used AI to complete the fantasy bsky.app/profile/nyti...

London is too big. Also here’s me at Cuppa Pug, the pug café, totally trying to sneak out with this little fatty.

At this point, the most patriotic action I can take is to work to preserve post WWII democracy-based world order, albeit with a different hegemon.

Gentle reminder: You’re the cavalry. No one is coming to save us.

Just out of curiosity, have you thought about your personal red line? What needs to happen for you to say “America is dead. I’m out” or “I won’t stand for this & I’m ready to risk everything.” I genuinely want to hear your thoughts. (And if you’re curious, I’ll tell you mine).

On this day in 2015, Napoléon didn’t want to walk anymore. So he was carried, the rest of the way around the block.

I just now found out the official animal of Latvia is the hedgehog.

WHY ARE ANY OF YOU SURPRISED?! Next they’re going to offer rewards for people to turn in illegals & fine those who don’t. That’s how Hitler did it.

My timeline clearly needs a pug. Here’s Milton looking dapper AF on Xmas.

Mark my words, “foreigners” in the US will soon be forced to wear an identifier, like a gold star or something of that ilk.

All the citizens, but especially the women protesting in Iran….what courage. I salute you. Keep going.

This. The ICE murderer in Minnesota is no different than the Nazi that shot point blank my unarmed, innocent great aunt Gittel-Reisel in Poland 1938.

This new year optimism is weird. The only thing that has changed is the date. The US still has concentration camps, secret police, incarceration without trial, govt. controlled media, inadequate healthcare & education, rampant corruption, christian nationalism, racism & misogyny.

New year, same resolution. (Don’t eat over my keyboard).

It’s so weird that in my lifetime we went from “party lines” and “telnetting into chat rooms” (willful exposure to strangers) to never answering the phone, ignoring emails & never leaving the house (willful avoidance of strangers).

Can we all agree that end-of-the-year 2025 retrospectives are not helpful & just skip straight to January?

Happy Boxing Day to all the boxes out there. 📦

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.

Just saying…

Thinking of filing a class action lawsuit against this administration for emotional distress.

The real breaking news is that Americans are apparently indifferent to corruption. #iWasAliveDuringWatergate

One small way to try to re-establish social trust would be to transparently disclose *in this very column* that you hung out with Jeffrey Epstein. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/o...

Chag urim sameach. And to my non Jew friends, do me solid & speak out against antisemitism next time you have a sec. Thanks.

Here’s the photo of Wally we all need right now. (At least I do).

Only three weeks until December is over!

My latest & the one where I propose we invade Moscow. www.linkedin.com/pulse/can-cy...

Turkey is gross. (It’s for people who’ve never had a capon.)

Bugonia was good! Worth it!

Delusional, psychopathic lunatic isn't quitting out of principle. She's prepping for a run for POTUS. My country is a joke. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

NO LAND CONCESSIONS EVER! #SlavaUkraini

Craving syrniki.

Are you subscribed to the only newsletter on cyberpower projection strategy? Here's the one where I talk about life, kinetic and cyber war in Ukraine. www.linkedin.com/pulse/life-s...

This is Leonard. We’ve never met but I love him what might be considered an unhealthy amount.

Oh. It’s “like I’m born to be.” I’ve been singing “like a butter bee.” (Which is obviously a Korean hybrid butterfly bee insect that I willed into existence) 🦋 🐝

I’ve been out of the country for 6 weeks & just touched down stateside….America smells horrible. This whole country smells like rancid oil.

I gotta say, it’s really great walking around in a country I’m clearly not born in….and not having anyone ask about my citizenship status.

America, it's not you. It's me. But if we're going to preserve this relationship, it's better we go separate ways for a while. Why? Well, for one thing, there's this (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/t...

I’ve been in Europe for just over a month now & It’s crystal clear that everyone in the US is out of their mind. And it’s just healthy to live with that much…everything.

BUSINESS IDEA: The Kyiv Substantial Napkin Co. Makers of soft, high quality napkins, tissues & toilet paper. I have thus far been consistently disappointed with current offerings. And that’s my only complaint about this incredible country. (Except the hills. I don’t live the hills).

I have been out of the US for 2 weeks now, and even though I’m currently in a war zone, I feel like I have a whole new amygdala

I’ll just leave this right here…

It’s almost jarring/disorienting when I order food, it’s a huge portion, half price of what I’d pay in the US & everyone in the restaurant is professional & friendly. America used to be like this. We are not anymore. (Poland is)

DEAR LORD DO NOT TAKE DOLLY AWAY FROM US! It would be just too much.
