Look it was a cute joke but don’t actually go into the pillow business okay?
Liberals do not actually need an alternative to MyPillow. The alternative is every other brand of pillow.
This is sadder than meme stocks
Speaking of pillows, some nice ones are on sale at Bloomingdales. The MyLuxe Asthma & Allergy Friendly Medium/Firm Density Down Pillow (standard size) is now available for just $385, marked down from $550. Made in USA! Sale ends 2/8. bloomingdales.com/shop/product/b…
On a slightly more serious note, I think people wrong when they act like pillows obviously aren’t made in the US. They are bulky and therefore likely expensive to ship. You can get a two-pack of US-made pillows for $30 at Macy’s. macys.com/shop/product/t…
I’m seeing that Macy’s also carries a lot of pillows over $250 and am becoming concerned that a lot of people are actually buying these.

Maybe if 150 NYT employees sign an open letter saying it's harmful when the paper runs op-ed columns justifying authoritarian crackdowns on journalists in places where the NYT does business, the paper will apologize for having done that?
It's kind of amazing, the organization does not really appear to have management anymore. Only really acts in response to outside pressure (Caliphate) or inside pressure (McNeil).
I don't know all the details of what happened with McNeil, but it certainly appears that Dean Baquet knew the same things about the incident last week that he knew today, and he reached different conclusions before and now. So when did he screw up?

The manner in which Mills brushes past the central error in Caliphate -- a very big error that he presided over! -- makes me quite distrustful of whatever else he has to say.
He says in this letter that he "helped create and produce" Caliphate. The show's credits give him standalone credit as "producer." When it won a Peabody, he posed holding it with Rukmini Callimachi. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…
But when the podcast was wrong, he says he's not to blame, because his bosses told him that. What? Image

Rather alarmingly, both Kathryn Garcia and Andrew Yang say they want to rely on converting newly-depressed hotel and office properties into housing as a key part of a housing strategy. Shouldn’t Plan A be to reboot the economy so those hotels and offices are busy again?
I don’t think conversions should be prohibited but those investments are based on a timeline of many years and I certainly hope we will be getting occupancy back up. Office and hotel uses are essential to our economy and our tax base.
Also a lot of office buildings don’t even work well as residential conversions because the footprints are too large. Yes, you can convert a hotel, but that doesn’t mean you should.

uh
“Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier” sounds like a pair of will-they-or-won’t-they characters leading a procedural show.
Ideally played by David Boreanaz and Mariska Hargitay.

I am genuinely unsure how the efforts to make MTG the face of the GOP (sure to be heartily assisted by MTG) will play in the midterms.
Without getting into the relative *merits*, this is something the parties do a lot in campaigns — highlighting the most extreme and unappealing personalities on the other side — and I generally think it has less effect than you’d expect.
Like we heard this whole narrative about how AOC and messaging about defunding the police/bail reform was a huge problem in suburban New York. But then Biden significantly improved on Hillary’s margin and Dems gained seats in the state senate.
