And best I can gather, selected words extracted from a hodgepodge of other conflicting words, but ones that seem to confirm the priors of the right listeners. I’m sure it will be fine.

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Chile’s Boric Was Not the Failure He Is Made Out to Be Boric accomplished a string of policy successes long after he had been declared a lame duck for having lost the constitutional reform process.

The conventional wisdom is that Chile’s outgoing President Gabriel Boric was a failure. But as WPR columnist James Bosworth (@bloggingsbyboz.bsky.social), that verdict ignores a string of successes he achieved long after being written off as a lame duck.

It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely

It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval

No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Extreme nerd-ery alert: New article analyzing concentration worldwide from 1900-2020. In 1950, the top 1% of companies accounted for 50% of sales. Today that figure is 80%. "The largest 1,000 American companies by revenue account for roughly one half of total revenues of US companies"

If I were a medium sized country/middle power without nuclear weapons, I would be having frank discussions with my defense minister and nuclear power industry about how long it would take to have an operational prototype.

I’m starting to think a 2026 day calendar with this for every single date of the year [Lemon,
It’s March 1, etc.] would have been an incredibly useful addition to my desk.
