Continuing my series that no one asked for: “People and history portrayed in ‘Death by Lightning’ that you should really know more about whether you want to or not.”

Today, I give you this piece from 2016, which argues that President Chester A. Arthur deserves a better historical reputation.

@marketplace.org @kairyssdal.bsky.social am I crazy or have I been hearing repeats of interviews on daily episodes of Marketplace? I feel like I’ve been hearing daily economic news sprinkled with previously aired interviews.

Anyone know of a way to get posts from X here? Something like a bot account that reposts? The only accounts I still need are NWS flagstaff and AZ DOT and I don't see them moving here anytime soon.

Whenever Trump talks about his economic “vision”, it reminds me of the Underpants Gnomes on South Park.

Phase 1: Trash the economy and break the government

Phase 2: ?

Phase 3: Profit

There were big smiles, hugs, tears and lots of tail wagging inside San Quentin’s prison recently. All the emotions came together when two black Labradors reunited with the incarcerated men who raised them as puppies and helped them prepare to become service dogs.

Y’know that thing I say here a lot?

That the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy?

@leahlitman.bsky.social came on the show today to talk about the rule of law, the Fed, and Humphrey’s Executor.

Is it legal for the NIH to abruptly cancel running projects? Is there a process where investigators can appeal and get funding reinstated?

This guy has some balls to advertise for something like this when he is complicit in veteran firings. Though it does show the GOP is scared of the consequences of these firings.

@standupforscience.bsky.social is there a way to see if a specific city already has an organization comitee already set up?

Anyone thought that the last time Trump imposed tariffs on just about everything from like 2017-2020 inflation was at record lows and wouldn't budge. Whereas now we've got the opposite going on.
