Hi, I’m Ken, and I am here to tell you things you won’t like. It’s my job. I sympathize with Julie Le and am on her side in general but she went about it the wrong way.

when we talk about DEI, structural racism, critical race theory, and all the other bugaboos, this is what we mean:

it is unjust to have people whose blood, organs, and other tissues we'll gladly accept as must-have therapeutics while denying them equal access and merit as recipients

My expectation for this is they'll make a big show of rolling out the goon squad outside a handful of locations, the states will seek and likely get emergency injunctions, and meanwhile the whole spectacle will only motivate way more people to show up and vote in defiance than are scared away.

Money can buy happiness. If Elon Musk built a rocket and shot himself into the fucking sun that would generate massive happiness.

I’m not sure about the best way to teach or understand the concept that’s encoded here

we learn addition and multiplication in primary school

yet the simple idea of combining addition and multiplication is either never learned or forgotten

meanwhile the universe uses exponents rampantly

Asked why Will Lewis — the Washington Post’s CEO and publisher — was completely invisible on a day that his company fired hundred of journalists, the editor in chief offers this excuse:

“He had a lot of things to tend to today."

it should not be like this, but NYC is going to defend its own regardless

"In his final drive for power Hitler had considerable financial backing from a fairly large chunk of the German business world...What good [that] eventually did these politically childish men of the business world will be seen later in this narrative."

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

practically speaking neither is an option

several outlets did work on these incidents

I had assumed WaPo was in the same class

Letter from Senator Ron Wyden: Dear CIA Director Ratcliffe, I write to alert you to a classified letter I sent you earlier today in which I express deep concerns about CIA activities. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, Ron Wyden U.S. Senator

I don’t like this

“My biggest worry: We are going to miss something, that there’s going to be babies that are going to be too small, moms with diabetes. I fear that moms will develop high blood pressure and end up with seizures.”
