The Library of Congress is a national treasure because it preserves *everything* —good, bad, mundane— about us. Cheap paperbacks. Dry tomes. Amazing poetry. The collected works of that guy. Tax law treatises. Those sci-fi novels by Bill Barr’s dad.
It’s our unedited conscience. Leave it be.

Recently I was in a meeting about how to detoxify discourse in the US. While discussing techniques for conveying the confidence of expertise, I referred to RFK jr. as being “obsessed with the shit he is full of” so I may be part of the problem.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Even though Rubio promised life-saving aid wouldn't be interrupted, it has essentially been halted worldwide, interrupting HIV and TB treatment and threatening millions of lives. People are dying today because of these chaotic, inconsistent stop work orders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...
USAID Lifesaving Aid Remains Halted Despite Rubio’s Promise
A new directive puts further exemptions on hold. Aid workers also say the U.S. government has made it impossible to pay partners around the world.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link.
Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts.
This was a Superbowl ad.
And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts.
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
