Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

Entering my second zoom class of the night. Needing an eraser for a home organizing task. Can’t find one. Thought, “That’s Ok, I’ll ask a classmate for one.” Anyway, I’m tired.

My 81-year-old aunt Gail sent me this segment. I wish a trans kid (now young woman) could say more than “I’m proud to be trans and I’m not just trans, I’m also a regular person” but I’m genuinely grateful when someone like Kelly Clarkson highlights trans people with such care.

psh 50 year mortgages are a half measure; real ones want 100 year mortgages that burden all the debtor's genetic descendants and let investors build actual castles off all the interest they'll collect for their outlay

The truth is not "more nuanced," the truth is that none of these people are narco terrorists.
GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.
you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.
