The entire article is fantastic, but the writer's definition of a trad wife is *chef's kiss* perfection.
"Those are conservative women who dress like the women in The Sound of Music, but without the opposition to the Anschluss."

I’m reading ‘Barbarians at the Gate’ - about the collapse of RJR Nabisco in the late ‘80s - and there seemed to be *so many dumb people* operating in senior positions
Yes, all his businesses failed. But I do wonder how someone this stupid continued to be in a position to have new businesses to drive into the ground.
Now he's just selling his power. But who was having conversations with a guy this dumb in the 80s and 90s and then writing him a check?

Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

I can remember a class where we had to write jingles for some reason one day 🤔🤔🤔
My husband just told me that his childhood music teacher used to make them spend all their time writing jingles for commercials and then she left teaching to go write jingles for commercials. Like, she was running a little jingle sweatshop, right!?!

I’ve always thought the idea that Burnham was “neutralizing” Miliband by putting him in the Foreign Office was wide of the mark.
Whichever Cabinet job he was given, he’d make moves.

Will a British ban on trade with Israeli settlements, 60 years too late and done only after at least 75,000 Palestinians were massacred, cripple the Israeli settler enterprise? No.
But, Miliband's forceful break with decades of feigned ignorance, helplessness, and complicity is a watershed moment.

I saw a journalist goading Burnham yesterday on whether there’ll be an election this year.
May didn’t call one a good nine months or so into her premiership.

Look, put simply, people should not be comfortable saying that in public and the way to fix society runs directly through making them afraid to say it again.
In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.
