    I just muted anyone who doesn’t follow me. If you want to troll me on politics, you’re going to have to endure my opinions on DC traffic and the proper way to make pie.

    Possibly the weirdest thing I've done in the pandemic is sous-vide poach chicken thighs in milk and garlic, which turns out to be delicious.

    Years of defending The Babylon Bee from tin-eared Fact Checks flushed down the toilet.

    Twitter Shuts Down Entire Network To Slow Spread Of Negative Biden News via Wow, this has never been done in history. This includes his really bad interview last night. Why is Twitter doing this. Bringing more attention to Sleepy Joe & Big T

    I will go to my grave believing that the mid-engined Corvette is a hoax. Bringing the journalists into the conspiracy is easy, when this already involves the highest levels of power. OPEN YOUR EYES SHEEPLE!!

    the mid-engine corvette is the most un-mid-engine mid-engine car

    People are skeptical of this, but in the early months of the pandemic the freelancer registration rate on Upwork went up 50%. Our annual survey of freelancers also shows a lot of new freelancers post pandemic.

    Yes, apparently the reason we hold elections on Tuesday is that many Calvinists wouldn't travel on Sunday, or vote on Sunday, and given far-flung farmers traveling by horse or Shank's Ponies, you needed to allow a day of travel *after* the sabbath. This...no longer applies.

    1. One obvious voting reform would be to spread our elections out over two days, and hold them on Saturday and Sunday. That would make it easier for people who work (that is, most adults) to vote, reduce lines, and ease the pressure on polling sites.

    With Europe's cases spiking above ours, I remind you of my column from a few days ago: felicitous weather has been spoofing good covid control.

    It's not even that quick. They just couldn't bring themselves to intervenne.

    Yikes, the EU is out of control -- this is how quickly things can unravel, folks.

    In a sense the story of the fall election is that Trump's strategy required the most optimistic herd-immunity scenarios to be vindicated, they conspicuously haven't been, and the rest is commentary.

    In case anyone was still curious whether he is fit for office . . .

    Trump tonight refused to denounce QAnon, saying he doesn’t know whether there is a secret government cabal of pedophiles as the theory claims. “I know nothing about QAnon,” he said. “I do know that they are very much against pedophilia. I agree with that”

    I'm glad to see that in claiming that he is the best president for Black Americans ever, Trump is now acknowledging that perhaps he is the second best, after Abraham Lincoln.

    After months and months of claiming that analysts saying covid was dangerous were overblowing things, Trump is now citing the early Imperial college death projections (which were the highest) as proof we did a good job.
