Now he’s dumping the chairman and board of the Kennedy Center and says he’ll be the new chair. Depressingly, I’ve learned the board always contains the Secretaries of HHS and Education, so I can imagine the programming next year.

@scalzi.com I’m reading KPS and there are a few editing errors, but I’m up to ch 10 where Ed’s “eyes” are described as narrowing to pinpoints, then a page later Satie asks if they’re dilated and is told yes (“we nodded”). Dilated is the opposite of pinpoint.

Who’d have thought; S Korea has a better operating democracy than the US
The South Korean National Assembly voted Saturday to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, forcing him to immediately hand over power to the prime minister following his short-lived attempt to impose martial law this month.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol impeached after martial law ploy
Yoon must immediately hand over power to the prime minister, who will act as caretaker while the courts review the impeachment vote. The process could take months.

The murder of the UHC CEO was terrible, as is any murder. I do have to say, the assassin escaping on a bikeshare CitiBike is very NYC though.
