Josh O’Connor’s character in the Disclosure Day trailer saying “I’m apart of it now and I’m just sorry they made you apart of it too”
I think anxiety over how Arsenal are doing is a ritual still a part of my life [laughs]. Somehow it doesn't even feel better to be at the top of the Premier League and in the Champions League semifinal. It feels just as bad as it has. How are you keeping up? Are you watching clips? Do you tape games? I'm reading minute-by-minute reports because I can't watch a lot of the games. Then I watch extended highlights on YouTube. This weekend is a huge game.
Mr. Burns said he decided to attend Hampshire College after a friend showed him a magazine story about the school, which opened in 1970. Mr. Burns arrived in 1971, and said he was an entirely different person by the time he graduated. “It was just transforming,” he said. “I literally learned everything there — everything.” He has maintained a connection to the school for more than 50 years, as a donor, a past board member and a famous face in the campaign to try to save the college from financial distress.
What I liked about the players and teams I miss, mostly, was who and where I was when I was watching them—in bed during a school day, or in a bar when everyone else was at work, or just at jobs that didn't just allow me to watch the games but required it. It's the nature of college basketball, and every other thing, to change, and I am not and cannot be mad about that. I'm not mourning the old March Madness games played, slowly and mostly poorly, by players in enormous shorts or meticulous box fade hairstyles, not even as a sort of double-bank way of mourning my lost youth by proxy and not just because new games are about to be played. At the most elemental level, the tournament is still made of and through the same wonderfully unstable stuff: the strange and superheated basketball produced when young people encounter the type of pressure that only exists in very close proximity to dreams fulfilled. The market is what it is, and does what it does, but if this is the sort of thing you're into, there's still plenty of it to go around.
Though the first month of the war has caused oil prices to skyrocket more than 40 percent in a few weeks, the real damage has yet to be felt, experts said. That’s because there was weeks’ worth of global oil and consumption already loaded on ships and headed to market when the war began. Now those ships have largely all reached their destinations.

This is the emotional-political paradox I’ve been thinking about today: on one hand, the feeling of soberness and cold clarity. On the other, the reality that in every respect, what happened last night is far worse than what happened in 2016. This time it isn’t an aberration. Trump is now the ultimate Republican insider. The Republicans control the Senate and almost certainly the House, and nowhere has the US’s still-unfolding right-wing coup paid more dividends than on the Supreme Court. The people in Trump’s orbit are meaningfully more sadistic than the people who were there last time—and those who have stuck around are more

The hatred that Trump has long displayed for his predecessor, Barack Obama, has tended to shroud a more interesting reality: the forty-fifth President is the single best student of the forty-fourth. Trump knows from symbols, knows that this new one will stand more as a Rorschach than as an automatic indictment, knows that it works as well for him as it does for his adversaries. And let’s face it: he can be perversely funny, and the picture will give him a new, tight five minutes of fascistic standup material.
