Everybody complains about the commentary of "Matty Y" but I love what he brings. He's right on things just often enough that people read him but also consistently, earnestly and profoundly wrong on things too and that's immensely entertaining.

Looking at Ron Desantis, it's hard to imagine him garnering momentum outside of the white grevience community; he lacks the entertainment value of that orange guy.

Guiliani in '08, Scott Walker in 2016: the GOP always seems to have a "common sense favorite" who implodes early in the primaries.

Sure, Democrats will complain about George Santos sitting on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. But how many sitting members of Congress can also claim a Nobel Prize in Physics?

I am a husky CisHet manly-man. But sometimes, before I indulge in a nap, I like to sing, “Back to bed-time, Mathew!” to the tune of Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday.”
