I canât say this enough â you donât have to mutilate your language, and you do a disservice to important topics when you do so. This is going to be even more important as American authoritarianism accelerates.

Instead of exporting right wing populism, the US should consider exporting norms around air conditioning. 91f in London is ⊠hot.

Reminder when the court inevitably finds for Mahmoud in Mahmoud v. Taylor today: this was a really bad case, the people from the county made really dumb decisions and fighting it to the Supreme Court was just hubris. Total self own.

A story I wished I'd written when I was in India was on the Uttar Pradesh Association Of Dead People. It is a real thing! A lobby group for people accidentally or malevolently declared legally dead. Fun America might need its own soon

Iâm all for newspapers getting rid of opinion sections if it means the Very Online crowd will stop willfully misunderstanding how newspaper opinion sections work in order to take false umbrage. Pretending to be dumb is annoying no matter whoâs doing it.
