radio producer and host. most ardent opinion: frank muller's moby dick is unparalleled; less ardently, le guin's Lathe is ventriloquist PKD. Tanaka Shozo on pollution gives the lie to the liberal worldview of Individual responsibility.
gotta be honest, I absolutely don’t understand how those Epstein files have not been leaked. This government‘s a catastrophe as many have said worse than Watergate by far in criminal nature so WTF? Where are the hackers of this world? Where is the one person to do the monumentally right thing?

…not only does democracy make every man forget his ancestor, but hides his descendants, and separates his contemporaries from him; it throws him back upon himself alone, and threatens in the end to confine him entirely within the solitude of his own heart. - Tocqueville

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

shouldn’t the entirety of the Republican Congress be impeached for unleashing/funding all the illegal actions of Trump, Miller, Vought, etc. on the American people?

Andy McCarthy: "The indictment almost fails as an indictment in that it doesn't give you notice of what Comey has actually done. But factually there's nothing there. So this smacks of wanting to put Comey through the process, which is what lawfare is."

NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court.

The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on.

The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

Hawaii justices ruled that their state constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaiians—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

When I say the US has bet its post-pandemic economy on AI while China has bet its on green energy, this is what I mean: Here, AI related companies account for 75% of S&P 500 returns since ChatGPT's launch. In China, green tech accounts for one quarter of GDP growth.

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.
