Have reached that point in life where I read a headline like this and hear: “Milan Cortina Olympics most-watched Winter Games since a couple years ago”

Some bullet points that I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could our journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

U.S. and Slovak uniforms are WAY too similar

The trinket industry is doing really great right now

Sir, I want to kiss you

In return they purr at us, and everyone’s happy

I’ve been giving this serious consideration and come to the increasingly firm conclusion that one of the main reasons human beings were put on Earth we was so that we could spoil the living cr*p out of at least a few cats out there

#Caturday (a day early)

Unless they know something we don’t yet…?

The Andrew formerly known as as Prince now going by the moniker “a man in his sixties from Norfolk”

In this year—IN THIS YEAR—I will accept the Canadian team defeating the Czechs.

But seriously, don’t push it

#Canada going dark and worldly-wise with the black maple leaf—I like it! 🇨🇦

A complete mystery to me why no one ever made a film version of the novel with Heathcliff played by Javier Bardem, seems a no-brainer.

From what I am reading about the new #WutheringHeights film it sounds like it assembles *every* cliched adolescent take I try to steer students away from when I teach the novel.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

This opening ceremony is even worse than I had hoped for

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

You’ve finally learned: history is bunk! 😉

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

An extraordinary opportunity, and so heartening to see this support from UCL-SSEES for fragile yet extremely valuable fields of scholarship!

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

To the contrary, everyone with half a brain is making EXACTLY this point

California Poised to Introduce Nation's Strongest Antimonopoly Law With support from ILSR and other allies, California is now one step closer to enacting the strongest antimonopoly law in the country.

Big news out of California. After years of study, the CA Law Revision Commission recommended a major rewrite of state antitrust law — explicitly instructing judges to break with weak federal standards & restore meaningful limits on monopoly power. The legislature often follows the CLRC's guidance.

… then warmed up, Czech style

February Sunday afternoon as it should
Be.

Spent a few hours out in the cold…

The problem is that clearly we are.

Cat got there first
