The Tesla Diner is a perfect metaphor for the whole Tesla brand: a bad facsimile of something that already exists, made by people who don't understand what they're recreating, with a thin veneer of superficial futurism on top, for people with no taste or self-respect

Earlier this year, I made two trips to Sudan, where a terrible civil war has displaced 14 million people. The state is absent, international institutions are weak.Outside powers, motivated by greed and nihilism, have stepped into the vacuum

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show."

To which I would only add: this whole discourse is the mirror image of what society tells women.
When men are involuntarily celibate: it's undeserved and a social crisis.
When women are involuntarily celibate: women are "too picky" and DESERVE to be lonely. Hence the "cat lady" discourse.
No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.
But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.
Miss me with this bs.
