I like words, movies and coffee. Sometimes I want to go far and see far. I believe in the long run, but I also appreciate the flash of inspiration.

Homelessness is complex.But we are unlikely to make sig progress until we make housing affordable.
Researchers find “housing costs explain far more of the dif in homelessness than substance use disorder, mental health, weather, the strength of the social safety net, poverty, or economic conditions”

Rough start to camp for me, but strong start for Harrison Butker and his fellow specialists and their early arrival on the field.
Pro tip for aspiring sports journalists: don’t leave your credential in the car when you’re trying to get there early. I fall to 0-4 #MattVsChiefs

Epstein matters, but there's a much greater story of American moral depravity that ought to be leading the news
America is building an archipelago of squalid concentration camps. No one knows where this will end. The time to scream 'Never again'? Now!

Unprecedentedly illegal hostage-taking of a private educational institution by a runaway authoritarian executive. And the collective national response is either yawning or applause or cowardly silence. We used to be a serious country governed by laws & a constitution. I guess it was a good run.

If this was Joe Biden, there would be think pieces about how the president’s staff is clearly failing him by enabling his semi-senile delusions. But oh well, I guess.
Trump: "At this moment, we have almost $17 trillion coming into this country. There's never been a period of time like that. And that's in a period of a few months."
(The entire American GDP is about $30 trillion, so no, there's never been a period of time like that.)

Trump lawyer and deputy AG ain’t meeting Ghislaine Maxwell to listen to “uncomfortable truths.” He’s there to deliver a message—to keep her quiet. If you don’t believe that I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
BREAKING
Deputy AG Todd Blanche says the DOJ stands by the July 6 memo but that he anticipates meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell in the coming days.
Blanche says no administration has inquired about meeting her, presumably including the first Trump administration, during which Maxwell was charged.
