  • I usually answer these “what’s the best [bla]” type questions by narrowing the scope. I’ll go, ‘well, I don’t know about objectively best movie, but the movie [I’ve seen the most times/I remember from the youngest age/that gets better every time I watch it/that had the coolest box art at the rental place/that I saw in theaters/that made me cry on a plane/that I used for the basis of my cult/whatever] is [bla].’ Ideally no one cares about literally settling a debate. If it’s a conversation worth having they’re more interested in your metrics than your findings. I find conversations about empirical ranking are tedious and always end in that anticlimactic awkward silence where everyone has exhausted their actual opinions and is trying to hastily cobble together new opinions on the spot to keep the ball rolling out of politeness.


  • I bet the Turnip administration is really upset about the person whose job it is to communicate with the press was really distracting and ineffective. Now they’ll have to waste more time looking for another with just a few short weeks until midterms. I bet they really hate that their pick is a relative nobody and convenient scapegoat. They probably really wanted to field questions about inflation, or oil prices, or food prices, or investments into Russia, or intentionally hamstringing Ukraine, or the Epstein files, or any of the insane things Turnip has said at recent rallies about his own health, or the superficial qualities of his supporters, or the bang up job RFK is doing with measles, or their targeting of political rivals, or their waivering support in traditionally rock solid strong holds, or that list of ballroom doners WP just released. Yup, I bet they’re really embarrassed. We should keep focusing on the card we picked, surely the magician wont use misdirection.
