    it feels like having a sound system blaring at you on full blast for years and then suddenly cutting out. there’s phantom music in our heads. we can’t process things at normal volume yet. our ears are ringing with the last four years in all this relative silence.

    OK just to be clear: if I say "we must crack down on serial killers" and you say "why are you launching this thinly veiled personal attack on me" I'm gonna have questions

    Sen. Rand Paul on Fox News: "If you read his speech and listen to it carefully, much of it is thinly-veiled innuendo calling us White supremacists, calling us racists, calling us every name in the book, calling us people who don't tell the truth."

    All of this.

    years ago i heard from friends about a secret bar that existed on Carré St-Louis in the 1960s—a speakeasy in somebody's home, for folksingers and chansonniers. I like to imagine it was this basement:

    Impeachment is on. Pelosi: 'You don't say to a president "do whatever you want in the last month of your administration. You're gonna get a get out jail card free." Because people think you should make nice nice and forget, people died here on January 6th.'

    Pelosi is not concerned about second impeachment hurting unity: "The president of the United States committed an act of incitement of insurrection. I don't think it's very unifying to say, 'Oh, let's just forget it and move on.'" She says "Thank God" that Trump is now gone

    If anyone says "Given the last few years, are there any things that still make you proud to be British?" I have to reply, "It's a dwindling list, but Nigella Lawson calmly choosing Bitter Orange Tart on the day Trump leaves office would be one of them."

    Well, yes, Bitter Orange Tart just happens to be . Apart from anything else, there are more things to make with Seville oranges than marmalade! This is not complicated: the base is bashed ginger nuts

    Amanda Gorman, 22 years old. The nations first youth poet laureate. When I spoke to her back in October, she joked that she's a 60 year old woman in a 16 year old body. Wise. She is indeed wise.

    "But while democracy can be periodically delayed, It can never be permanently defeated. In this truth, in this faith we trust. For while we have our eyes on the future, History has its eyes on us."

    At 22 years old, Amanda Gorman will become the youngest poet in recent memory to deliver a poem at a presidential inauguration.

    All the speculation about the letter has had me thinking of how the president signed the guest book at Yad Vashem when he visited in 2017. "So Amazing + Will never forget!"

    After all, Trump did leave Biden a note, a White House official confirms.

    Think about it. The Trumps will have lived in Washington DC for four years without ever once going to a local restaurant, shop, school, park or organization. It’s almost impossible to imagine that level of disconnect to other humans.
