My NYT obit on Aldrich Ames, CIA turncoat for the Russians. I interviewed him in the county lockup after his arrest in 1994, then by telephone for eight hours. Deluded, deeply alcoholic, he thought he could lift up the hood of history and tinker with the engine.

Americans were offered a choose-your-own-adventure story of the attempted government throw of January 6, 2021. It was the ultimate victory for the country's right-wing propaganda machine.

Also CSAM isn't 'inappropriate' (taking issue with headline here...)
I’m trying to imagine the discourse if George Soros owned companies that produced both CSAM and cars that go rogue and kill people.
What is the point of having laws if nobody will enforce them?

I don’t find Zohran uniquely charismatic as much as I find him authentically caring and authentically optimistic and those qualities mirror his political agenda, and the great thing about him not being uniquely charismatic is that you can have a version of it in a thousand places

EXCLUSIVE: @laurenweberhp.bsky.social & I have spent the last year collecting school+county-level vaccination data from across the US and found that only about 28% of counties now have herd immunity for kindergartners from measles—that leaves about 5.2mn kids unprotected.

It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.
