If only we had some way of knowing how Trump would govern after a Democratic president who disappointed us on foreign policy.

Glenn Greenwald moving to another country to tweet without being yelled at and then having it made illegal there to tweet is like a Twilight Zone ending
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil's Supreme Court panel upholds judge's decision to block billionaire Musk's social media platform X nationwide.

we're living through a fast-paced technological revolution around green energy and it's getting about 1% of the attention it should. In a month, no one's gonna be burning coal in the UK for the first time since the steam engine was invented.
What a journey!
10 years ago almost 40% of UK electricity was from coal.
Today the UK's last remaining coal-fired power station is Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station in Nottinghamshire, England, which is scheduled to close on September 30, 2024.

"is the president old" was the number one issue in the campaign for months and mysteriously stopped being an issue when "which candidate is oldest" flipped parties.
Will the NYT ever notice Trump’s age? Who knows!
Looks pretty good for a corpse

I don’t know how to tell people this in a way that’s easy for five year olds to understand, but when you try IVF, and it fails and you pivot to IUI, you still have FUCKING DONE IVF

Trump corruptly did not publish white house visitor logs and Biden restored this good government transparency. The upshot of this from the standpoint of the press was that the New York Times used the visitor logs to write a story falsely implying Biden was covering up having Parkinson's.
when people complain about Democrats not wanting to give them interviews, this is the core of the problem
"we will hold you to account for every little mistake and clean up his language so he sounds like a normal politician"
okay, so why should I talk to you then
"we will hold you to account for every little mistake and clean up his language so he sounds like a normal politician"

But then they turn around and say how important it is his opponent know everything in minute detail about everything. It's not that it doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter for him. Insanity

It’s notable to me Kamala’s husband’s ex-wife has more earnestly loving things to say about her than literally anyone in Trump’s life has to say about him
Doug Emhoff, Kerstin Emhoff, and Kamala Harris really seem to have put in the work to make their blended family run smoothly. That can be a difficult thing, even in the best of circumstances, and it sucks that they're being attacked for it instead of commended for it.

After nearly a decade of Trump horror stories, I didn't think anything could shock me any more. I was wrong.
“I don’t know,” Trump said about his own grand-nephew, who is disabled. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.” time.com/7002003/dona...

"Critics say."
There are literally no facts anymore. Shocked CNN doesn't view the sun rising in the east as an opinion now.
ALSO. It's not just critics. It's SUPPORTERS say this too. There's not a whit of disagreement abt the GOAL, just whether it's good or pure evil. So spineless AND wrong.

If you haven't seen the show Homicide: Life on the Street, based on David Simon's excellent book about a year at the Baltimore PD detective's unit, run don't walk. Back in the Mesozoic internet, we called it the Best Damn Show on TV. A staggering wealth of acting talent, with Braugher as king.
