when i start my rewatches these days

sunny - s2 after frank shows up

veep - s2 after ben shows up

curb - s1e6 the wire

the wire - skip the pilot episode

30 rock - not the best of these overall by a long shot. and yet… no skips

the office - skipping the first 9 or 10 episodes, sorry dundies. i only like the vibes after when michael’s hair has been figured out

the shield - when a show is perfect you only need to finish it once

silicon valley - no skips and i also usually run seasons 3 and 4 back midway through because Jared’s trauma dumping is like maple syrup on pancakes.

sopranos - skipping the pilot but only because everyone has memorized it. it’s bigger than my own memory it is expanded by the collective unconscious. the pilot ep of sopranos is the crossword puzzle ethan tells julie about in waking life. you can close your eyes and see the ducks frame by frame.

seinfeld - watching them all but not counting the early episodes before Jason realizes he’s playing Larry (he starts off playing George as a tragicomic pontificator a la Woody Allen, none of the volume work or gesticulation of an autistic man) as actual seinfeld episodes

strangers with candy - no fuckin skips and also you’re welcome for the reminder to rewatch. colbert still shining, sedaris chewing every line read like taffy. Principal Onyx Blackman. they named the nigga Onyx. most of the time when i’m rewatching 30 rock it’s because i grew up on strangers with candy

Q & A

Rules: Answer the questions in a new post and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better. Very late in doing this, but tagged by @macgueurle *waves* so let's get cracking... 1. Nickname: Sheps? People call me that at work to distinguish me from another person with the same first name 2. Star sign: Taurus 3. Height: 5'8" 4. Time right now: 20.44 5. Favourite music artist(s): I am a sucker for the new and for the old but probably veer toward dance and house for gym tracks, am discovering grime lately and urban and rap music, loved Joni Mitchell and the Mamas and the Papas and the Carpenters at different phases of my life. I like noise. Sound. I don't just want to hear my heart beating. I need music. Currently listening to Kiss FM. Maybe I listen to more dance music than I thought... 6. Last movie I watched: at the cinema? Fantastic Beasts. At home? Suicide Squad. 7. Last TV show watched: I haven't watched TV for a couple of days. I can't remember what I last watched. I even turned on the TV to see what channel it was left on. Nope, sorry, still no idea. 8. What are you wearing right now: work clothes. Dark jeans, lightly formal top and the cardigan that all librarians are given when they leave library school and pass, fully fledged, into the world. This can never be taken off. Not even at weekends. Not even at Christmas. 9. When did you make your blog? I have lurked on Tumblr for a while, but think that @handfoodmentos only came into life this last summer. I find that I had liked 100 posts by July 2016. So about then (I like a lot). 10. What kind of stuff do you post? *looks* I am mainly a reposter. I repost stuff I think is clever or witty or beautiful. Cate Blanchett, obviously. Carol. Emily Blunt. Cartoons. Mainly Blanchett. Blanchett's body. Blanchett's face. Women. 11. Do you have any other blogs? Nope. 12. Do you get asks regularly? Nope. 13. Why did you choose your URL? Two things that were on my desk when I was looking for a name that had no association with me in real life. 14. Gender: female 15. Hogwarts house: Gryffindor 16. Pokemon team: I am fucking ancient. I was too old for Pokemon first time around. Or possibly just too British. No idea, sorry. 17. Favourite colour: Teal. Navy. Deep reds. Lately am finding more pink in my accessories. Not quite to Barbara Cartland levels but it may be a slippery slope... 18. Average hours of sleep: between 7 and a half and 8 hours, mostly. 19. Lucky numbers: even ones. Twos and eights and fours. Am not so keen on sixes, weirdly... 20. Favourite characters: My favourite film ever is Brief Encounter. I love love love it. Love Laura, love Alec, love Fred. Sensible, stolid Fred, doing the Times crossword. I would probably want to shake him in real life but he just fits the film. I also love Lois from Malcolm in the Middle, Selina Meyer from Veep. Julian and Sandy from 60s radio comedy Round the Horne. 21. How many blankets do you sleep with? Currently one huge duvet, a blanket and 2 cats. 22. Dream job: I am pretty much doing it. It's well within my capabilities. I like my colleagues. There are frustrations, sure, but where aren't there? I think wherever there are people there are frustrations and scratchiness so no job will be without those. I don't work retail (for which I am eternally grateful) and my job is clean and (mostly) warm. There are much worse jobs. Maybe not many better. So. Maybe a bit more of HFM than before. I think the (approximately) three real people who follow me have already revealed themselves slightly and answered these questions. Porn bot followers! Porn bot followers! Fancy telling us a bit more about yourselves?? x

Why Isn’t the ‘Southern Strategy’ Working?

Want to get The Morning by email? Here’s the sign-up.

Good morning. There are long lines for coronavirus tests. Tech companies are pulling back from Hong Kong. And President Trump’s racial appeals don’t seem to be working.

The so-called Southern strategy — appealing to white voters by focusing on racial issues — has worked very well for the Republican Party. It has helped the party persuade many frustrated white working-class voters that the Democratic Party doesn’t care about them.

Richard Nixon’s campaign invented the strategy, and he won the presidency twice. Ronald Reagan praised “states’ rights” in a tiny Mississippi county known for a Ku Klux Klan triple murder. George H.W. Bush ran the notorious Willie Horton advertisement. The Southern strategy has been “the most successful strategy in the history of modern politics,” Cornell Belcher, a Democratic strategist, told me.

The basic bet has been that Republicans win when voters focus on race. Steve Bannon, who helped run President Trump’s campaign, described the flip side of the idea, in 2017: “The Democrats,” Bannon said, “I want them to talk about racism every day.”

Sure enough, Trump has put race at the center of his re-election message. He did so in two aggressive speeches over the weekend and defended the Confederate flag yesterday. “Almost every day in the last two weeks, Mr. Trump has sought to stoke white fear and resentment,” Maggie Haberman writes. (She’s also on today’s episode of The Daily.)

And yet this time seems different: The strategy isn’t working. Trump’s poll numbers are slumping, and some of his 2016 supporters cite racial issues as a reason they plan to vote for Joe Biden.

Why is the Southern strategy suddenly flailing? I count four main reasons:

The country is changing. It becomes more racially diverse each year. And most Americans under age 35 are quite liberal. The horror of the George Floyd video and the ensuing protest movement have also changed the minds of many Americans.

People are afraid. Historically, many white Americans didn’t see how racism hurt them, Belcher said. But he now hears white voters in focus groups say they’re worried that the country is coming apart. “They talk about, if we continue on this trajectory, it’s going to be dismal for our kids,” he said.

Trump has gone too far. Most white Americans remain moderate to conservative on immigration, affirmative action and more. But many also believe police departments are biased, and many don’t like symbols of slavery. Reagan offered an optimistic, patriotic message that let many voters downplay or overlook his racial appeals. Trump is practically forcing voters to take sides on racism, Terrance Woodbury, another Democratic strategist, told CNN’s Ron Brownstein.

Voters are simply too unhappy with Trump’s handling of the coronavirus. “As long as that’s true,” The Times’s Nate Cohn told me, “I don’t see how he has the freedom to employ wedge issues.”

Of course, the usual caveat applies: The campaign still has four months left.

For more: FiveThirtyEight’s Clare Malone has written a brief history of how the Republican Party “spent decades making itself white.” And The Times’s Emily Cochrane reports from Maine on Senator Susan Collins’s effort to win re-election despite Trump’s unpopularity there.

THREE MORE BIG STORIES

1. Testing troubles

As the United States nears three million coronavirus cases, many cities and states are still struggling with testing. Sites in New Orleans have run out of tests five minutes after doors open. In Phoenix, where temperatures have topped 100 degrees, residents have waited in cars for as long as eight hours to get tested.

While testing has increased considerably since April, it has not kept pace with the recent explosion of the virus. Some experts blame the lack of a federal system, which has led cities to compete for testing labs and supplies.

In other virus developments:

2. Plans for the fall semester

The fall semester is starting to take shape, with most colleges planning to open — but not with business as usual. Harvard will teach all courses remotely and no more than 40 percent of undergrads will live on campus. Georgia Tech plans to resume in-person classes without requiring face masks, leading more than 850 faculty members to sign a letter expressing concern.

One deterrent for going online-only: Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced yesterday that international students enrolled at universities without in-person classes would have to leave the country or transfer to another college. It’s part of the Trump administration’s continuing crackdown on immigration.

3. Unrest over Phoenix police shooting

Another video of a shooting by police — this time with officers in Phoenix fatally shooting a man in a parked car over the weekend — is leading to protests.

Police officials said the victim, James Porter Garcia, had pointed a handgun at one of the officers before he was shot. But a friend told local news media that Garcia was unarmed, and activists have demanded the release of body-camera footage from the officers who shot him.

IDEA OF THE DAY: Pop culture at the Supreme Court

In a unanimous Supreme Court decision yesterday — holding that members of the Electoral College cannot vote for whichever candidate they want — Justice Elena Kagan referred to both the musical “Hamilton” and to the television show “Veep.” We asked Adam Liptak, The Times’s Supreme Court reporter, for some context, and he replied:

The two best writers on the Supreme Court are generally thought to be Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Elena Kagan, and neither is a stranger to pop culture references.

In 2008, Chief Justice Roberts quoted (some say misquoted) Bob Dylan in explaining why the plaintiff lacked standing in a dispute between two phone companies. Instead of citing a case to back up a legal proposition, he cited a lyric: “When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.” (What Dylan actually sings, of course, is, “When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose.”)

The chief justice, 65, also drew on the classic rock canon at the argument of a copyright case in 2011. “What about Jimi Hendrix, right?” he asked. “He has a distinctive rendition of the national anthem.”

Justice Kagan, 60, has made her own contributions. In a 2013 case concerning signs on trucks, she gave a hypothetical example of one: “How am I driving? Call 213-867-5309.” That was a sly reference to “867-5309/Jenny,” Tommy Tutone’s indelible 1981 hit, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and will still get people of a certain age onto the dance floor at college reunions.

PLAY, WATCH, EAT, CHEER

Get baking

Maple-blueberry scones are “the perfect thing to bake when you’re looking to funnel some angst into something delicious,” writes the cookbook author Dorie Greenspan.

They are big and glazed and possess a unique texture — tender and flaky at the same time — thanks to a technique for mixing the butter with flour. Created by the chef Joanne Chang for her Flour Bakery + Cafe in Boston, you can find the recipe here.

Read a timely new memoir

“The Beauty in Breaking,” written by Michele Harper, chronicles her life as an emergency room physician through the lens of the patients she has treated. Each chapter highlights a different case, like a newborn baby who isn’t breathing. Along the way, Harper tells her own story — of experiencing abuse, divorce, racism and sexism, and of becoming a doctor. Elisabeth Egan, an editor at The Times Book Review, called the book a “riveting, heartbreaking, sometimes difficult, always inspiring story.”

Baseball sets a date

Major League Baseball announced that its season would begin on July 23 with a game between the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals. But will it actually happen? Some players and managers are skeptical.

At least four teams have canceled workouts this week because of virus-testing delays, and several players have already said they will sit out the season. “We haven’t done any of the things that other countries have done to bring sports back,” Sean Doolittle, the Nationals’ closer, told The Washington Post. “Sports are like the reward of a functioning society.”
