The UN climate change conference (COP30) having rooms shut down both to flooding and an extreme fire is a bit metaphorically excessive.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

An interesting thing about the Armenian genocide is that the perpetrators were promptly assassinated when it became clear the legal system of the time was inadequate to bring them to justice.

We’re gonna get thru this, and people should be nice to the cohort, but we’re gonna have a mini-generation of people among us who are generally less literate and comfortable around the written word than the rest of us on each side of them.
it is an almost universal sentiment among the college professors I know that the last few years have seen massive, worrying declines in literacy among new students that do not compare to any previous worries/experiences

It'd be great if the next Dem primary included somebody who made administrative burden one of their key issues. It's a huge problem for most of the population, esp around things like our health care system, and largely underrepresented in media
I actually tried for two years to economize ruthlessly my healthcare outlay, despite my condition, and BCBS is good enough at its job that the only difference between Gold and my high deductible plan was on the HD plan I couldn't see any doctors lol Cost exactly the same
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

I think the Comey etc. indictments show the basic shape of Trumpism pretty well. The goal and peril is to replace all forms of rule making authority with shameless partisans. So the judiciary is stopping some of it because it's not yet overtaken by them, but the media is hiring Bari Weiss bc it is.

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

new NYT thing is describing stories as generically as possible to make it seem like they weren't sat on. oh now if a guy emails a reporter about old girlfriends that's supposed to be a news story?
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.
