Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

“she flamed out and faded away” is such funny framing for a woman publishing an excerpt of her book in vanity fair, where she also works. I wish I could flame out and fade away so successfully
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.
In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.

It's gotta be frustrating for journalists scraping by and doing great work to go to NY Times dot com and read a puff piece written by a nepo baby that whitewashes a journalist who had sex with a source and has now parlayed that into a new book and a job at Vanity Fair

God forgive me, I read the Nuzzi profile. This is the correct takeaway.
It's so frustrating that there are so many good, hard-nosed, risk-taking journalists who plug away at their beat and uncover important stories whose name only a handful of people, mostly their peers, can recall — who are overshadowed by this horseshit.

Anyway, Dick Cheney is a fossil fuel now. It's what he loved most. Besides killing.
I'll be skipping any obits that begin "Whatever you think of what he did as Vice President..." It's what you do when you think nobody can stop you that counts.

Lovely tribute to Pierre Robert. No matter how morning-zoo, shock-jocky rock radio got, his spirit was always warm and friendly, about the music and community. Have been a fan as long as I've lived in Philadelphia.

The last raise in the Pennsylvania minimum wage was in 2009 — to $7.25/hour.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
