Any pundit who is criticizing Pres. Zelenskyy's attire is failing to read the room, but moreover, they're just completely missing the point.

A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats have no time for suits and neckties.

He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes or epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He's wearing what women and men who are fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine are wearing.

He's wearing the urgency of the moment.

That's the point.

I was today years old when I discovered that @neilhimself wrote an episode of #Babylon5.

Rewatching B5 and in particular the Day of the Dead episode which features Penn and Teller.

Mind blown.

None of Donald Trump's 2024 GOP rivals has had the courage to condemn his antisemitism.

Let's be clear. One sign your party has embraced full on fascism is when denouncing Nazis is more dangerous politically than dining with Nazis.

Media needs to treat the GOP accordingly.
