Bill Kristol Bluesky post from 14d ago: I'm pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I'm a Democrat. My reply from the same day: Join @demsocialists.bsky.social Bill! We're nice
Quote from the article: A Dallas City Hall spokesperson said the city approved a "wrap" for the building at 505 N. Akard St., which is owned by Slate Asset Management. But that permit applies to the other side of the parking garage. So I called FIFA, which is installing murals all over downtown, including on the old Dawson State Jail. Eventually the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee sent a statement that said, in part, they "recognize the cultural and historical significance" of Whaling Wall 82, and "with great respect for Wyland's legacy, a portion of the original mural will remain preserved as a tribute to its lasting impact on the city.”

He enjoyed matching wits with intellectuals, the quicker the replies the better. And few were quicker than Buckley. "Bill was being masterfully skeptical," Kenner later said, "dissenting quite principally without offending Chaplin in any way." But Pat Buckley was mortified. More than once she kicked Bill under the table. Afterward, Oona Chaplin commiserated, telling Pat, "I've been kicking mine for twenty years. It doesn't work."
