"Politics would be interesting again" is such a telling phrase, a sign that you're so insulated by money and power that it's all just entertainment for you.

"Sure, the robber barons were cruel and rapacious, but they ultimately gave away their fortunes to build schools and libraries" kind of falls apart when their great-grandson still has enough generational wealth to give $50M to a literal felon's presidential campaign.

In ruling that bong water is a drug mixture, the Minnesota Supreme Court justices relied, in part, on the testimony of a state patrol officer who claimed that drug users keep bong water “for future use… either drinking it or shooting it in the veins.”

It's pretty disgusting that editorships at major papers are going to UK reactionaries who are dumber than a bag of hammers, can't write their way out of a paper bag, view facts as threats to their ideology, and have the ethics of a hyena. They're taking jobs away from Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens.

One funny thing about all this reporting: we now know of at least 3 instances (twice at WaPo, once with NPR) where Lewis tried and failed to kill stories about himself. He's not just unethical, he's also bad at it.
