The same post that says it’s an outrage to eat at Noma has no issue w/ Graham Platner. The people currently cooking & serving at Noma — did they create the abusive environment? Do they condone it by working there? & GP’s totenkopf: is it nothing? bonappetit.com/story/critics-…

@katrosenfield It really is. Surprisingly affecting, w/ a sneaky-sensitive script from John Logan, and the dynamism of Jaafar — good God.

@taste_of_tbone Wasn’t out here searching. Read her piece, and went to see what the chatter about it was.

Really thrilled that this is out, & that I can finally share it — I went long to write about my son, about food, about New Orleans, about change. Enjoy! (It’s so good to be back in The Oxford American!) oxfordamerican.org/magazine/issue…

@DubClayton Want to know what’s impressive to me? 28 pts in 20 minutes for Alex Sarr. That other shit? Shameless and pathetic.

I’ll admit I’m a bit ignorant of the team dynamics & context surrounding Kobe’s 81, but I feel confident in saying that Bam’s 83 is nowhere near as impressive when you realize the Wizards FO probably wanted it to happen just as much as the Heat did.

Joyce, you are a TREASURE. So grateful that, on a site that most of the time is just a ceaseless drip of toxic sludge, there’s this — there’s *you*.
Joyce Carol Oates@JoyceCarolOates

"insist"? why would I "insist"? obviously the best way to read Chaucer is to read Chaucer but if you prefer a translation, or a comic book, that is your prerogative, Mr. Horned. also: if reading Chaucer in Chaucer's own language is "elitist" it's "elitist" in the way that choosing a neurosurgeon to remove the tumor in your brain instead of a dermatologist is "elitist"--sounds good to us.

@mattyglesias You could’ve said the same thing about Detroit, when their young talent had only shown flashes & had yet to ripen. Now look: first in the East. You have to be patient w/ young talent, esp. talent that is 20-22 years old, i.e., college aid. Don’t be short-sighted.

@walterkirn Twain didn’t just publish it; he helped write it. (And maybe more than helped.)

Reading the memoirs of US Grant after shamefully neglecting to read them, possibly because literary types didn't push them on me early in life. 1st impression: No one ever told me he was funny. Some of the driest wit I've encountered in all American prose. The book is grand.

@xwanyex Real Americans, real patriots, don’t want to live in a country that tyrannizes, bullies, and thugs it up. There are ways to do this … and there is this way.

@Smith4Gm He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Instalment Plan And had everything necessary to the Modern Man, A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire. … Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd: Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.

@toddkliman You lost the election. The majority of Americans voted for this. Leftist agitators are trying to overturn the will of the people.

@toddkliman It's funny how there aren't issues with "gestapo tactics" in jurisdictions that are cooperating with the Feds. A reckoning is indeed coming. The radical Left is going to be broken.

@FischerKing64 You’re conjuring justification for an un-American operation. All of this could have been carried out quietly, w/o full military gear & Gestapo intimidation. You defend ‘law,’ when your regime routinely breaks the same in every realm of life. Also: the word is its, not it’s.

If anything the confederates were more honest about things. They seceded, claimed they were not bound by any federal law at all. Minnesota couldn’t do this because it’s economy relies on defrauding federal healthcare and daycare programs - as we have discovered recently,

The same kind of people rioting and swarming against ICE agents in Minnesota - who are just there to enforce federal immigration law - are the ones who say every confederate was a ‘traitor’ for defying federal law and should have been hanged after the Civil War.

This piece from the NYT mag is so blithe & deluded. No, she didn’t get there first: it was only an idea in her head. And “a more cryptic affair,” says the mag — making a movie that’s both fun & philosophical sound vastly inferior to a book that’s often tedious, quiet, & vague.

Wild that the writer AND the critics just pretend “Groundhog Day” doesn’t exist. Some good rumination on apartness/distance/knowing, but no humor, no strange outbursts from the trapped narrator (wild spending, devouring whole cakes). & LOTS of longeurs. What am I missing?

@FischerKing64 ICE shot and killed a woman. This is part of a long and documented pattern of abuse of power. That’s the story here. Do we want to live in a country that bullies, terrorizes and abuses its citizens?

NPR just now: ‘There is controversy in Minnesota after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman while she was sitting in her car.’ And that, my friends, is how you mislead entire segments of the population.
