The Mandate Letter is a newsletter by Jason Rogers about the weird world of masculinity. Thanks for being here. If you were forwarded this email, get your own: And we’re back! Hope you all had a fantastic holiday. I can’t say that 2021 has begun as auspiciously as I’d hoped (understatement of the year). But, with some luck, we can white-knuckle our way through the next few weeks back toward smoother waters.

In 1986, Ben Leaps into Lorena Chavez, a recent grandmother and soon-to-be-retired bank teller caught in a bank robbery gone wrong. In the original timeline, 8 people are killed in a shootout between cops and robbers, so Ben becomes the hostage liaison. As his actions in the past cause the disaster to escalate, he bonds with Lorena’s co-worker, Rebecca, whose brother Sean is one of the bank robbers. Sean’s not a bad guy, he’s just down on his luck, and in the end, Ben puts right what once went wrong; he saves everyone (except the actual bad guy/lead bank robber), plus Sean and Rebecca’s relationship.

They may have a reputation for taking a long time to cook or being expensive, but there are plenty of convenient and affordable whole grain options too. These recipes are quick and easy to prepare (and/or make-ahead) so you can have nourishing whole grain goodness at your fingertips for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Yesterday, my anonymous gossip columnist colleague, Cockburn, released a scoop that soon went around the world, about a particular Senate staffer who enjoyed photographing and videoing himself, including in the Hearing Room of the Senate. Though we didn’t release these photos and videos, others in the press did; notably, The Daily Caller. The staffer in question did himself no favours, by featuring his face in both photos and videos, and thus wasn’t difficult to identify.

I spent yesterday reading a lesser known work by Montesquieu, Considerations on the Causes of the Greatness of the Romans and Their Decline (1734: Considérations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains et de leur décadence), for a podcast we recorded for The New Thinkery. I was struck by how quotable were Montesquieu’s reflections on the nature of political things and human things in general. I decided to compile some of these reflections for a post.
