@JimJamitis @JonahDispatch "The things people say are not meant to be measured on the scale of truth. They are only the signs by which one indicates which team one belongs to, like the identification ‘friend-or-foe’ signals that warplanes emit" --Herbert Stein (on Sunday talk shows)

Tweet of mine that got the most negative response was when I posted--accurately--that the Canadian national anthem beats ours like a rented mule.* * main purpose of the tweet wasn't the national anthem comparison

Michael Brendan Dougherty@michaelbd

Besides American NHL fans what other subgroups on Earth are likely to know another nation’s anthem in its entirety?

Deloitte?!

AOC says "rivers were on fire" because of corporations like Deloitte "pouring chemicals" into waterways. Deloitte is an accounting, consulting, and tax services firm. No idea what she's talking about.

I held deep respect for National Review long before Trump dominated the political scene. They’ve maintained principles because they call balls and strikes. They don’t automatically go all for or all against, unlike far too many. Meanwhile, you’ve sold out. We all see it.

Bill Kristol@BillKristol

I gather some of our conservative friends are unhappy with the Bulwark. Fine. But I'm proud we have continued to stand athwart Trump, yelling Stop, at a time when so many who were at first inclined to do so quit doing so, and then became annoyed at those of us still standing.

Jefferson and Madison were midwits? Ok ... That is some 180 proof High Federalism.

Franklin Harris 🌐@FranklinH3000

@jaycost Yes, they were Francophile midwits who were lucky they were otherwise engaged or else they might have found themselves narrowing dodging the guillotine like Paine.

San Francisco International Airport debuts its visitor pass program for people who want to enter post-security without an airline ticket. It’s called SFO Gate Explorer. Other U.S. airports have similar programs. With Gate Explorer access, you can greet friends and family on domestic arrivals, walk loved ones to their gates, grab a bite or shop post-security, watch planes take off and land, or join special airport events—all without flying. A few important rules: this pass is for personal use only (no business or commercial activity), and meeting international arrivals isn’t allowed—you’ll need to meet them in the International Terminal Arrivals Hall instead. All participants, including minors, must complete a TSA background check, and everyone must follow standard airport security rules. Minors under 18 must stay with an approved adult at all times. Visitors need to plan ahead, review TSA guidelines, apply in advance on the SFO website, and enjoy a unique behind-the-scenes airport experience at SFO.

And, I just want to register my deep disappointment in you and the path you chose. I had a lot of respect for you. I thought you had integrity. You don't. That you are attempting this ridiculous posture that you are the principled person is embarrassing and beneath a serious person. But you stopped being a serious person a long time ago. No one sees you like that anymore. We all know what you are. Shameful.

National Review is comprised largely of people who believe in the same principles in 2026 as they did in 2015, which I know must be confusing for Kristol.

@rakealito Funniest--at least to me--airport story is that my younger brother and his friends would drive up to the airport (35 miles) to play pinball because the terminal concourse would still be open when everything had closed for the night.

@LMandrakeJr Our son (proud CUT alum) grew up taking light rail to PDX, running down an often empty concourse, watching planes with face and hands glued to the windows, grab an ice cream and ride the MAX home. 4 year old heaven. Great parent outing too.

Bad News Bears 1976 was a kids' movie that used the N-word and every other ethnic slur available, kids smoking cigarettes, a drunk coach that also drove drunk and handed beers out to 11-year-olds. And it was great. Rated PG. We used to be a proper country.
