That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

If the Harris campaign had leaned into calling the Trump regime "weird" (instead of taking the stultifying consultants' messaging route), things might have turned out differently.

That sounds like a terrible, awful, no-good problem. What do you recommend?

I think the counter argument to β€œEllison and Weiss will turn CBS News into an unstoppable propaganda machine” is Bezos’s WaPo which lost basically all the talent and also is in a subscription death spiral

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Today I learned there is such a thing as National Boss's Day, and that allegedly it is this Thursday and I SWEAR TO GOD that if I find out any of you have participated in such a craven act of subservience to the ownership caste I will find you and give you SUCH a noogie

You describe the council members *once* as members of the Democratic Socialists of America, then *inaccurately* describes them as plain ol' "socialists" for the rest of the article. That’s just journalistic malpractice.

It describes the council members *once* as members of the Democratic Socialists Party, then *inaccurately* describes them as plan ol' "socialists" for the rest of the article. It never explains the platform of the DSP, nor defines socialism.

That’s all you need to know how slanted this piece is.

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffingβ€”sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pensionβ€”and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.
