Imagine if the last thing you ate in the world was a portion of RFK Jr.'s brain.

All the metaphors are becoming all too literal.

What are we even doing folks?

Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life

Polls pretty consistently show Democrats lawmakers as a whole are more popular (sometimes markedly so) than Biden. This is reverse of 2020.

This guy's cousin, the late Meir Kahane, was a major theorist and organizer of fascist political violence. Onetime followers of Kahane are an important part of the current ruling coalition of Israel. The last time the New York Times mentioned Meir Kahane was apparently 2019.

Joyce's 3 novels are all centered around a main character of a different faith: Portrait is about a Catholic, Ulysses a Jew, Finnegans Wake a Protestant. That's because Joyce's vision of Ireland was ecumenical & non-sectarian.

John Gotti's lawyers made the same arguments: why are all the prosecution witnesses criminals? It's because Gotti committed his crimes with criminals.
