In which I make the case that Miller Lite is the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel gustatory experiences and has come to confuse this empty, hedonistic quest with being cultured. theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…
Let’s not pretend that data center builders are the worst polluters of water. The level of PFAS from DuPont or the hexavalent chromium caused by PG&E is infamous. 45% of U.S. tap water contains detectable PFAS. Water quality is a national problem.

If my husband eats lunch at all, it’s literally a can of Costco chicken. Maybe on bread if he’s really hungry. You’re keeping yourselves fat and in debt. It’s not even a money thing. It’s a “why would I spend 10x more than necessary on something that will just make me fat” thing

He’s announced a $1.8 billion restitution fund with zero details or congressional authority to do so. It just is crazy.” My latest with @adamwren and @sambbenson. politico.com/news/2026/05/2…
