Car trouble, miss? Allow me to squint, and posture heroically while staring at your labyrinthine engine as panic cascades through my spine.

@PeterAttiaMD That's interesting, but check out the effects of Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy in primates (spoiler: appears to be safe). news.ohsu.edu/2020/12/08/lon…

A study in mice demonstrated impressive lifespan extension with extreme calorie restriction, but will results translate outside a research setting? Full article linked below. bit.ly/3HVVFwU

Great. Who's in control of Rome's army of kiddie fiddlers now? #pope #PopeFrancis

@DaneCook @NetflixIsAJoke What's up with @DaneCook the past few years? He always looks like he just ate 4 casseroles.

All I want for Xmas is to sell out and add a second show for my @NetflixIsAJoke festival appearance. It’s this May so get tix today at my website DaneCook.com

In case there is still any confusion about whether or not everything is terrible, this: theguardian.com/world/2023/apr…

Affairs are one (or two) people's bad day. It shouldn't affect like, a fucking network's programming schedule

At the Glenn Show this week @JohnHMcWhorter and I have a scintillating exchange on race and culture issues. Here are three short clips. (Full exchange available to subscribers at glennloury.substack.com) 3) If group identities matter then so must cultural accounts of inequality!

A most wonderful piece on the history of the Rushdie affair. Highly recommend reading it. @DiabolicalIdea reminds us why it is vital to remember that many Muslims stood in support of Satanic Verses after the Fatwa: newlinesmag.com/essays/memory-…

This subway car smells like someone died looking for someone else who died in the back seat of an old taxi.

In the wake of the attack on Salman Rushdie, @bariweiss reflects on the dangers of equating words to violence. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-…

@fortesalatifi @YahooNews Why/How in the ever loving f@#$ could this ever constitute being "news"? People get laid off and fired all of the time. At no point does it ever rise to being newsworthy. finance.yahoo.com/news/got-laid-…

@soledadobrien "Spewing hate." Bari Weiss? What planet are you from? The only thing spewing here is your misinformed nonsense.

This is what GG and Bari Weiss et Al have all figured out: spewing hate pays better.

Dane Cook's transformation into Joy Behar is almost complete. #DaneCook #kelsitaylor

I wonder if we’re institutionalizing stereotypes about gender in the same way academics have tried to institutionalize stereotypes about how “hard work,” “being polite,” “punctuality” and the “written word” are “white culture.” taibbi.substack.com/p/on-the-blowb…

@MollyJongFast @TheAtlantic You're conflating "liberal" with the far left. Maher has always been 'on the left', but thankfully never betrayed true liberal values (e.g. like being against censorship) as today's self described progressives are willing to. @billmaher

“Kids? I am vengeance, ok? I am the night. So just, y’know, keep that in mind.”

What is Putin’s endgame? What is the West’s? Do we even have one? Those questions and many more on today episode of @thehonestlypod with the brilliant @nfergus, @wrmead, and @FukuyamaFrancis. bariweiss.substack.com/p/russias-war-…

@PennyRed That's funny, because based on your performative sanctimony, and willingness to be dishonest about @jk_rowling to ends that are harmful to humanism and liberal values, Pratchett would almost certainly have nothing to do with you.

Ah well, I was always much more of a Pratchett fan, anyway.

Solidarity with my Ukrainian friends on this sad day....
