Listening to the autism episode of the Daily and am struck by the difference in its approach to the one they did on trans kids. This one is anchored in science, talking to psychologists, and essentially seems positioned to debunk RFKJR's view of it as "an epidemic". 🧵

Do my eyes deceive me or is the crowd for Kirk's memorial larger than any of Trump's inaugurations?

Maybe if #congress has to have active shooter drills we will actually see some action on gun control.

Is RFK Jr really suggesting that we can tell that something's wrong with someone by looking at them? A dangerous path for a man like himself...

I am obsessed with Trump being obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize. As in he cannot get it. It will absolutely infuriate him if it is withheld and for that reason alone, withhold it!!

I read a piece from 1986 about voter apathy and it got me going... I think our current situation has evolved from this, and we're in a much worse position now. Can we do anything to change it?

The US govt removed Article I, Sections 9 & 10 related in the U.S. Constitution (parts of Section 8 have been removed, too). Which also pertains to Habeas Corpus and gifts from foreign states and royals/nobility.

Basically: "I'm a bigot and don't believe transitioning is good but by gum even *I* can see this ban is just plain ol' discrimination!"

Which is basically the basis of ALL the anti-trans rhetoric, wrapped up with a plaintive "But The Children!" "Save The Women!"

Feels like Wapo is carrying water for the budget bill with this piece - showing that virtually no one but the poorest will pay more. Who are their readers? Not that demographic. And greed is a motivator. Sure, you're not getting 22K more like some, but 3K is still SOMEthing.

Imagination is the fuel of our creative engines, and we're outsourcing it. What will happen when we lose our ability to imagine?

"Fear is broadcast; Murdoch tells us what to fear. We all share the same anxieties from TV, instead of the individual, unique fears that once lived at the base of our brains. What does this outsourcing of imagination do to us? Not just to our fears, but to our entire beings?"

My sister and I kept running into Danny Aiello on Fifth Avenue and we couldn't figure out if we recognized him from TV or if he was one of our many uncles.

We also got chatted up by Don Rickles in a bodega down the shore when we were nubile young adults in bikinis.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
