Rod Dreher is the greatest conservative journalist of all time.
Rod Dreher @roddreher For the record, I clearly sd this number was given to me 1st by a DC MAGA insider. I interviewed about 10 DC Zoomercons, all of whom sd yes, sounds right. @emilyjashinsky did her own interviewing, got lower number. I hope she's right! Plus, the bizarre chair smashing w/no one around it & a chair turning over in a Rome restaurant while I was telling the story of the smashed chair was judged by a Vatican exorcist I consulted for his take to be a warning. FWIW.

UPDATE: Summers’ page is now offline.
CAP Staff and Fellows page, which showed Larry Summers’ profile just a few minutes ago, now says “Lawrence H. Summers is no longer with the Center for American Progress.”

I’m not sure I see the logic in continuing to teach but stepping back from, like, making public appearances? The issue is with behavior while teaching. Why would it do anything to, like, step off the lecture circuit or whatever? That’s emphatically not the problem.

We’ve been watching the LOTR extended editions and it has to be said, orcs are absolutely terrifying. I’ve had at least 2 orc-related nightmares since we started

how dare you criticize this prose
Like all men but more so, he was a hunter. In a literal sense, he used not a bullet but a bird. It was not about a chase but about a puzzle of logic and skill that amounted to a test of his self-mastery. He was the mouse and the architect of his maze. The giver of his own pleasure and torment. He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself. I understood this just as I came to understand the range of his kinks and complexes and how they fit within what I thought I understood of his soul.

Hugely important for trans people concerned about passports - all passports will remain valid according to the government.
erininthemorning.com Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 10h
In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.

The fact that More In Common edited Jo Cox’s very specific quote about migrant communities to a bland milquetoast idea about being nicer to each other remains extremely grim
"Batley and Spen is a gathering of typically independent, no-nonsense and proud Yorkshire towns and villages. Our communities have been deeply enhanced by immigration, be it of Irish Catholics across the constituency or of Muslims from Gujarat in India or from Pakistan, principally from Kashmir. While we celebrate our diversity, what surprises me time and time again as I travel around the constituency is that we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.” picture : Jo Cox MP giving her maiden speech in the house of commons Where we began More in Common was founded in the aftermath of the tragic murder of Jo Cox MP in 2016. More in Common takes its name from Jo's maiden speech in Parliament where she said: "We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us." Our hope is that through our work, we honour Jo's memory and legacy.

This is a horrendous idea! It’s not some kind of beer summit to hash out their differences. He participated in their abuse

Rep. Ro Khanna tells NBC he'll hold a press conference with survivors of Epstein's abuse and he'll call for Trump to meet with the survivors.

"On Tuesday what we're going to ask is for a president to meet with these survivors."

"I really think that's the right thing to do."

The actual question is: Why didn't she defend the human rights and dignity of immigrants even a little bit? Why didn't she show spine, conviction, or leadership on a critical issue that her would-be voters cared passionately about? WHY DIDN'T SHE RUN *AGAINST* TRUMP, NOT *AS* TRUMP???

Pundits: Why didn't Kamala Harris run to the center on immigration?

Kamala Harris's campaign speeches:
Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. The Border Patrol endorsed it. But Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign. So he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. Well, I refuse to play politics with our security. Here is my pledge to you: As President, I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that he killed. And I will sign it into law. I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants- And reform our broken immigration system. We can create an earned pathway to citizenship- And secure our border. America, we must also be steadfast in advancing our security and our values abroad. Harris: So, in this campaign, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week (applause) any day of the week, including, for example, on the issue of immigration. So, I was the attorney general of a border state. In that job, I walked underground tunnels between the United States and Mexico on that border with law enforcement officers. I went after transnational gangs, drug cartels, and human traffickers that came into our country illegally. I prosecuted them in case after case, and I won.

Donald Trump (applause) Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk (applause) or as my friend Quavo would say, he does not walk it like he talks it. (Applause.) Where's Quavo? (Laughs.) So, look, our administration worked on the most significant border security bill in decades. Some of the most conservative Republicans in Washington, D.C., supported the bill. Even the Border Patrol endorsed it. It was all set to pass. But at the last minute, Trump directed his allies in the Senate to vote it down.

Some fun with lady Belted Kingfisher today. I found a good spot for them. Thinking about actually dragging a tripod with me next time out. 🪶
A bird with slate blue on the back and a slate blue crest, stout black bill, white collar, and white on the chest with ruddy markings. She is perched in a tree looking to the right. A bird in flight with wings and tail spread. She has a bluish-green crest and stripes on white wings and tail. She is flying upward looking for a perch. A bird bursting out of the water. She has a bluish-green crest, stout black bill, and ruddy markings on her side. Water is exploding off of her wings.
