Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

People are weird.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

James Lileks on Realistic Environmentalism, and What his Daughter Will Learn
