Someone from @piersmorgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵

Brahms walked into a liquor store and asked for a good bottle of wine. The clerk, having recognized him, returned with a Riesling, saying: "This vintage is to wines what Brahms is to music." Brahms looked it over, smiled, and said: "Well then, please bring me a bottle of Bach."
This, by Yuval Noah Harari, is masterful. It gives me no satisfaction - only grief - to add that I’ve been saying all this since 10/10, but he says it much better. Enough. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

It’s officially spring, meaning Persephone is back from the Underworld and at her mother’s house, so from now on every time the weather is unseasonably cold and dreary it just means Persephone snuck out to visit Hades in secret but Demeter saw it on the birdwatch porch cam

As one of the loudest advocates for President Biden on this platform, I think it's totally fair to be critical of his position on Gaza. But if you're doing that, shouldn't someone ask the other guy who's running for the job how he'd handle it differently? Don't let him get…
IN THE SERVICE OF THE FORCE OF EVIL Standing in a line at the local military recruitment center in Bucha this morning, I, just like everyone else online, saw this quite a piece of news - widely known Russian militant and blogger Andrey 'Murz' Morozov had shot himself to death.…
I've spent the past month talking about what's happening in Gaza with some of the world's leading experts on military strategy, counterterrorism, and the law/ethics of war. What emerged was a story of a war gone terribly, horrifically wrong: vox.com/24055522/israe…
A letter from Tom Stoppard. Exquisite.
My three big wishes for 2024: 1. That Ukraine defeats Russia. 2. That Trump does not become US president again. 3. That Putin is forced out.
I'm going to keep a collection of what I have found to be the most thoughtful and thought-provoking articles and threads on the current conflict. Feel free to bookmark.
🧵 There are 7 human coronaviruses (so far). Four of them cause the "common cold" (229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1). The three most recent are deadly (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2). All three of the deadly ones use the ACE2 receptor. Only one of the common cold viruses (NL63) does.

We have TWO big problems here. The FIRST problem is that in missing what the REAL Long COVID problem is, this Star article misinforms. The SECOND (real) problem is that we actually don't understand Long COVID prevalence at all. 1/19 thestar.com/news/over-3-mi…

@GingersTuRNed I talked to my sister regularly when she was in a coma. Told her about the weather that day and that I had taken care of Christmas for her little boy. When she awoke two months later, she said she heard every word I said and thanked me. Life is a precious miracle.
Along with the deep political divide in this country, let's face it - there is also, quite clearly, an intellectual divide. I don't speak about it much, because it's often said that the Left can be condescending. (For any MAGA reading this, that means we talk down to people.)
Young surgeon <2 years out. Things are well.
Why do people hate Harry and Meghan Markle so much? What have they actually done apart from leaving that racist family and moved away to start a better life for themselves due to the way they were treated by the Toxic British Media and Members of the royal family. But yet the…
Someone from @piersmorgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵
Compare these two outfits. Piers' black polo with checked knee-length shorts and bad sneakers says nothing. But Kermit's cargo shorts with an Aloha shirt, fishing bag, and straw hat says: "I'm a mid-century sportsman on vacation."
No such issues for Kermit the Frog. His clothes hang beautifully and smoothly while still giving a distinctive, flattering silhouette.
He glared at me on the way out of the courtroom for the mid-morning break. I grinned at him.
Today at the local park with my 5 kids, I was told I needed a permit to be there with a group of more than 5 people. I said that they were my own kids and he said I still needed a permit!
Honestly, the judge basically forcing Trump to attend Barron’s graduation is probably worse for him than the $9000 in contempt fines.
Here's my case for Paradise Lost in under 280 characters: it is one of a handful of overtly ideological works of literature that succeeds artistically by making the viewpoint it wishes to discredit as compelling to the reader as possible.
Ah - I wonder whether anyone else has ever tried doing this: travelling without a cello? (I'm borrowing one on this trip.) Worth a try! Easy check-in, no worries about bumps at security, no stupid jokes, etc. Though there's always that horrible feeling of something left behind...
@gtconway3d I'm a court reporter and was subpoenaed last year to authenticate one of my transcripts. They resolved the issue before I had to appear, but it was really unusual. I've done thousands of transcripts and never had anything like that happen and neither had the reporting agency.
Justice Juan Merchan sweeps into the courtroom, resplendant in his robes, the fluorescent light glinting off of his silver cap of hair. The parties make their appearances. Then Justice Merchan begins with a few housekeeping matters.

For almost seven months now, some of us have been writing here almost every day, trying to turn heartbreak into words. We may sound rational or angry or thoughtful or frustrated. But all of this is covered by a blanket of overwhelming sadness. May it end soon, for everyone.
