Remembering Christopher Hitchens

Today marks 12 years since the death of Christopher Hitchens, O.G. of DGAF* commentary, dazzling orator, and Johnnie Walker Black Label’s influencer-in-chief. Hitchens called himself a contrarian, and I suppose he was, but that term is now used so reflexively and applied so indiscriminately that I think it’s no longer deserving of him. He was better than that.
