Unoriginal ‘Sinners’

1 day ago | takimag.com | Steve Sailer

Directing a film is a little like coaching a football team—both are jobs for natural leaders of men—but strikingly few auteurs played serious team sports after age 18. Ron Shelton, director of the baseball movie Bull Durham, played five years of minor-league ball. Richard Linklater pitched in college until an injury switched his career trajectory from the athletic to the aesthetic.
The Week That Perished

The Week’s Most Trolling, Strolling, and Boulder-Rolling Headlines EAGLE ROCKEDL.A.’s Eagle Rock is situated between the filth of Downtown and the Armenians of Glendale. It’s known as the place where there’s never been a house sold without the buyer saying to his wife, “Look, it’s what we can afford.”Last week Eagle Rock saw the most excitement it’s witnessed since that time in 1997 when a homebuyer bought without reluctance.
Panic Glutton

1 week ago | takimag.com | Theodore Dalrymple

My reaction to world affairs veers between complacency and panic. Either it is the end of the world, or everything will continue as before. I have been through enough world crises to know that not all of them end in catastrophe; it does not follow, however, from the fact that I have so far always recovered from illnesses, that I am immortal. The past couple of weeks have not been free of turmoil, and sometimes it has crossed my mind that I am about to be plunged into abject poverty.
E Pluribus Loot’em

1 week ago | takimag.com | Ann Coulter |Theodore Dalrymple

It’s understandable that Democrats are fuming about Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse, inasmuch as the people committing the waste, fraud and abuse are their constituents. What I can’t understand is why they’re saying so out loud.
Thoughts From the Great Economist

1 week ago | takimag.com | Theodore Dalrymple

Like everyone else I met on an overnight meeting in the Bahamas, I am worried about a recession. The world’s largest economy could dip into one, and very quickly, said a multibillionaire attending the same party as me. Personally, I have never understood much about economics. I have always left such matters to people who can tell the difference between a hedge fund and a mutual fund, duties and tariffs, and so on.
The Terrifying Truth About Britain

1 week ago | takimag.com | Hannes Wessels |Theodore Dalrymple

After reading a report in the The Times this morning, I did something I never thought I would have to do: I immediately decided to send a stern warning to my two daughters in England reminding them that they find themselves in an authoritarian country, where freedom of expression is severely curtailed and law enforcement appears to be deployed to punish anyone who dissents from the prevailing political wisdom, in a fashion that bears chilling similarity to a police state.
Washington’s Latest Tax Assault on Economic Success

1 week ago | takimag.com | Stephen Moore |Theodore Dalrymple

What is it about politicians in Washington that they just can’t stand progress or the thought of anyone getting rich? That’s the attitude of many Democrats in Congress as they try to cripple the private equity and venture capital industries with higher tax rates. These financiers are some of the most dynamic risk-takers on the economic playing field. They are disrupting the old stodgy banking and Wall Street financing networks.
L.A. Bueno?

1 week ago | takimag.com | David Cole |Theodore Dalrymple

Leftists and rightists alike refuse to understand L.A.Rightist dimwits like Ukrainian/Jewish podcaster Michael Malice, who claims “L.A. is the second Detroit,” and other rightist dimwits like this tard who claims “they lock their doors and windows in Compton because it’s all black,” live continually in 1992.

The Week’s Most Calming, Embalming, and Sunday Palming HeadlinesNEXT TIME TRY PEPSIThe Sentinelese are a pre-neolithic tribe of “negrito” cavemen who live on an island in the Indian Ocean. The civilized world (and India) have agreed to leave this “uncontacted tribe” forever isolated. What, no “diversity”? Why are cavemen exempt from the benefits of DEI? There’s a LOT of leaves on Sentinel Island, yet no Mexicans to blow them. Is that fair to either people?
Approval of Stamps

2 weeks ago | takimag.com | Theodore Dalrymple

A French antiquarian bookseller from whom I buy books from time to time sends them to me through the post with old-fashioned postage stamps on the packet. How pleased I am when I receive such a packet! Postage stamps are almost relics of the past, and I have long reached the age when relics of the past are more precious to me than hopes for the future.
