It truly is remarkable where we are as a country. On successive days you had to write about a prominent lawyer being paid two hundred thousand dollars to keep disfavored people from using public restrooms and today you have to write about the Supreme Court weighing in on whether a man can put on a wig and lip synch to I've Never Been to Me. This is the America that people like the new Speaker - a man who has his own minor child monitoring his porn usage - has given us in 2023. All while half a world away the Middle East is on fire, where people do not have the luxury of spending time on such frivolity.

When the history of this period is written - if as a nation we survive the authoritarianism being pushed - people will look back on these self-appointed culture warriors as profoundly unserious and hypocritical clowns.
