* It's funny how Noah Smith told the world a few months ago that he had re-gained his libido (after many years of mysteriously having none, and he had checked it out medically), but this seems to have coincided with his become more right wing. He's never been 100% reliable in his takes (and tends to be more reasonable in his substack essays than on Twitter/X), but he is saying more sillier things lately after (presumably) resuming a sex life. Curious!
* That Zohran Mamdami is causing a MAGA freakout, and Noah Smith and some Democrats are wary of him; but he clearly has plenty of charisma and, who knows, maybe he will do good for the city of New York. It will be a curious experiment, at least.
* Was Prunella Scales the only person in the world with the name "Prunella"? It was an very distinctive name. (For what it's worth, I think Fawlty Towers was a bit over-rated, though.)
* The storm in my suburban area on Sunday was very bad. I was in a shopping centre with water coming out around light fittings, again. This seems a very common feature of heavy storms in Australia - the number of times you see video of water leaking into a mall around light fittings. I wonder why this is such a common problem.

No, but he sounding more culturally "right" than before, and politically is doing that thing of spending more and more time on criticism of the Democrats for not being successful in opposing the Right, instead of attacking the Right.
You are as bad as Gerard Henderson. you think centrist id right wing. He thinks it is left wing
Ha! What an insult...:)
