Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

One of the reasons RW media is often successful is the synergy between its epistemic traditionalism and commerce. It has a “truth” to sell, and thus all means are justified, including peddling lies and sleaze, which can be quite marketable.
"What's the point of standards?" should be the definitive line on Bari Weiss. She's gotten this far by flaunting and mocking them, and stepping over the heads of anyone who ever tried to bind her to professionalism.
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

Seriously, I know what I'd do with Bond. Total reboot, period, young Bond, set in the 50s, Cold War - but with modern sensibilities addressed via presenting Bond tonally as an anti-hero. Let him be the skeezy, reactionary, misogynistic, sentimental, alcoholic speed-chugging mess from the books.

This is an excellent example of what it is in fact antifascists do. As the current administration is calling them terrorists, and equating them with Democrats, many democrats want to distance themselves, say they don't, or water them down. 1/
Nazis rallies today in Missoula Montana out side of the synagogue.
They were chased away.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.
Long ago there was a famine period that hit one clan of Cherokee called the Ani-Tsa Guhi (ahnee-Jha Goohee)

Must read from Reuters on how Trump officials are coordinating with right-wing social media influencers.
They know that big scoops build subscribers. So many big news stories are handed to reporters. Now, Trumpers give them to social media posters. It works wonders for their numbers.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.
