A GLOSSARY OF LAUGHS
The New Yorker
|December 25, 2023
"... Ha!" You're at a cocktail party and someone just made a reference to the Kenneth Lonergan play "This Is Our Youth" that you didn't find particularly funny, but you still want everyone to know that you understood it.
"Haha" Your best friend teases you about your small feet-something that you're actually insecure about-but it's totally O.K. Yep, for sure.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha" Your sevenyear-old niece is telling you a twentyminute knock-knock joke that makes absolutely zero sense.
"Haha?" You're at a comedy show and your sister's boyfriend, Darren, is halfway through his tight five about how he hates his relationship, but then you look at your sister and she's laughing.

THE TALK OF THE TOWN
For someone openly campaigning to get a Nobel Peace Prize, Donald Trump has been going about it in an unusual way. Early last month, the President proclaimed in a press conference that the Department of Defense would thereafter be known as the Department of War. At the same briefing, the presumed new Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, promised that the armed forces will deliver “maximum lethality” that won't be “politically correct.” That was a few days after Trump had ordered the torpedoing of a small boat headed out of Venezuela, which he claimed was piloted by “narco-terrorists,” killing all eleven people on board, rather than, for instance, having it stopped and inspected. After some military-law experts worried online that this seemed uncomfortably close to a war crime, Vice-President J. D. Vance posted, “Don't give a shit.”
