Calling childcare "goodies" is some bonkers framing.
You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Improvised memorials are fascinating and powerful. This one offers a moving variation on the tributes left after collective (graffiti, notes, flowers at République after 11/13 in Paris) & personal (flyers seeking missing loved ones after 9/11 in NYC) traumas, ephemeral then preserved after the fact

I've said it before-- he's the walking, talking embodiment of the line from Preston Sturges's 1940 film *The Great McGinty*: "If it wasn't for graft, you'd get a very low type of people in politics. Men without ambition. Jellyfish!" 🪼
"The message is not that Trump is innocent, it's that *everyone is guilty.* Everyone assaults women, cheats on their taxes, uses public office for private gain. Propriety and following the rules? That stuff is for suckers. In a world of grift and graft, the most corrupt man should be king."
Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away
His ordinary scandal management techniques are not working.

“Good Vibrations” hits #1 on the UK charts today in 1966.
The song, David Leaf wrote, “redefined what a pop single could attempt, and in doing so redefined what American music could aspire to. .. The record doesn’t simply sit in pop history — it towers over it.”

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s no vote required if he wants to release them!
The only reason the house was voting was because he refused.
This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.

if you have a few spare coins, a local family could really use your help
My neighbors just up the street from us own A-squared pizza in Charlottesville, and their youngest was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
Their family is really nice, and this is a huge bummer right before the holidays. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to help with everything.

😄 "Because of me, male employees are no longer allowed to make lewd jokes, hold men-only work gatherings, or type with their p*nises. Yes, this has ruined the workplace, although it has also drastically reduced typos."
The New York Times published an op-ed video criticizing the effects of feminism on institutions and warning of the dangers of “toxic femininity.” It briefly ran with the title “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” The answer is yes. The culprit speaks up: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/n39luP
