Terrific piece from Josh Marshall on the finest of all television-comedy-satirical (and , in this case, Canadian) series.
Some thoughts on pro football podcasts , my nightly escape.

Nice to see this back, especially in December, a holy month for Wintr-ists of all kinds and creeds.

I've been writing in praise of Rustin for years, but happy to get this more thought-through essay out in the world. (And the movie , if that isn't plain, is terrific.)

Thanks for this. Porter and Hart, the inspired duo.
@adamgopnik Good afternoon. I'm an admirer of Cole Porter and read some minutes ago your magnificent article The Pleasure and Pain of Being Cole Porter (Jan. 2020). It is the best analysis of a genius of popular music, maybe the top of all American composers. Thanks, Mr. Gopnik.

I'm just finishing a long essay on Rustin, who was also one of the heroes of my book on the true history of liberalism, " A Thousand Small Sanities". Hope to add something to the discourse with my friend Robt tomorrow -- and the movie's not-to-be-missed just for the performances

I'm reposting this piece from 2012 (!) , because I wish it had dated, and it hasn't. More guns mean more gun violence. It's simple. newyorker.com/news/daily-com…
A perfect night out in Montreal. Father-son reunion. Habs victory in overtime. Sandwich afterwards at Schwartz's. Happiness.
Thank you. That's a high standard.
@adamgopnik sitting on my back porch, listening to Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue and reading The Real Work. Thoroughly enjoying both.

Oh, how beautiful. Mine are now so big. But still reaching.
@adamgopnik "...and the man took back the stick and shook off the rings, so dearly won, to give to the next child who would get up on the carousel..."
