Bill Kristol Bluesky post from 14d ago:

I'm pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution.
And so today I'm a Democrat.

My reply from the same day:

Join @demsocialists.bsky.social Bill!
We're nice

They didn’t even know what the fuck they were doing

Quote from the article: A Dallas City Hall spokesperson said the city approved a "wrap" for the building at 505 N. Akard St., which is owned by Slate Asset Management. But that permit applies to the other side of the parking garage. So I called FIFA, which is installing murals all over downtown, including on the old Dawson State Jail.

Eventually the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee sent a statement that said, in part, they "recognize the cultural and historical significance" of Whaling Wall 82, and "with great respect for Wyland's legacy, a portion of the original mural will remain preserved as a tribute to its lasting impact on the city.”

Charlie Chaplin arguing with William F. Buckley Jr. in Switzerland around the time of the Kennedy assassination. From Sam Tanenhaus' biography of Buckley Oona Chaplin you guys 💖

Chaplin too was preoccupied with Kennedy's assassination and sparred with Buckley about it. Chaplin was one of many who found it hard to believe Oswald had acted alone.

"Your mode of reasoning is very much like that of the John Birch Society," Buckley replied.

"Yes," said Chaplin, I have no doubt the John Birch Society had something do with it."

He also said, "I don't trust the FBI. Do you, Mr. Buckley?"

"No," said Buckley. "They let you get out of the country without paying your income tax.

Chaplin was amused. He enjoyed matching wits with intellectuals, the quicker the replies the better. And few were quicker than Buckley.

"Bill was being masterfully skeptical," Kenner later said, "dissenting quite principally without offending Chaplin in any way."

But Pat Buckley was mortified. More than once she kicked Bill under the table. Afterward, Oona Chaplin commiserated, telling Pat, "I've been kicking mine for twenty years. It doesn't work."

LOL

Screenshot of my feed in Goodreads, a post saying "Because you read The Bone Clocks, Goodreads recommends A Laird for All Time my Angelina Fortin" with an image of a book cover featuring an illustration of a ridiculously muscular man, portrayed from the neck down, wearing only a kilt and sporran.
