It’s been a tough week so I think everyone should cut her some slack, but Gondor did in fact (kinda famously) need a king.
We will never be a monarchy. Know that. To quote the LOTR trilogy: Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king.

Gene Hackman dying seems a good time to tell you that Sam Raimi made a western called The Quick and the Dead, absolutely every cool actor is in it, Hackman destroys in every scene as the Big Bad, and for weird reasons 1995 America decided it was bad and erased it from memory

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity.
It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated).
30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

Ok, Hochul has gotta get him the hell out of City Hall. The brazenness of this is almost impossible to believe.
Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan.
"If he doesn't come through...I'll be in his office, up his butt, saying 'where the hell is the agreement we came to?'"
Vile.

i really like @johnpfaff.bsky.social's idea that the council should pass a resolution calling on Hochul to remove Adams and she should defer to it. it'd set a limited precedent which respects local democracy.
On MSNBC, Gov. Hochul does not commit to removing Mayor Adams, but implies she may consider it. "I'm consulting with other leaders in government at this time. We've got to have one sane person in the state who can cut through all the crap (and) say, 'What (does) my responsibility guide me to do?'"

a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed
Schumer's strategy of allowing/encouraging Dems to vote for the "normal" nominees in order to try and peel off Republican defections to block Hegseth/RFK/Gabbard appears to have completely failed.
It appears there is little to no resistance from Senate Republicans to the nomination of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary
