When do they just cut straight to Arbeit Macht Frei?

Nor did he subpoena Epstein enabler Alex Acosta.

"Jesus was a white man, too. It's like we have, he's a historical figure that's a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that. How do you revise it in the middle of the legacy in the story and change Santa from white to black?"
Megyn Kelly, 2013

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Just wait. They will soon be renting out detainees from Alligator Auschwitz and the many other camps, citing the Thirteenth Amendment.

One headline writer has singlehandedly redeemed the tarnished reputation of their colleagues.

True, if false.

I’ve Hated Billy Joel for Decades, but HBO’s Big New Doc at Least Made Me Realize Something Even the Piano Man seems ambivalent about his success.

Note to Editors everywhere: It's *not* a fresh, bold take to assign a review to someone who hates the subject. It's old and tiresome. So if you want to read about how Slate's Jack Hamilton hates Billy Joel, have at it. All I can say is, count me happily among the rubes!

One word: Discovery

Drones Are Key to Winning Wars Now. The U.S. Makes Hardly Any.

Three and one half years since the 2022 invasion has US military gleaned *anything* from a once in a lifetime learning opportunity?

How have we managed to still be in kindergarten as regards drone warfare?

5. Trump claims that he has "beaten" CBS and 60 Minutes in an effort to cow the WSJ.

6. The WSJ ... TBD

The GOP (and MSM pundits) made a multi-year industry out of HRC's *once* using term "deplorables."

Now we have Trump constantly saying judges, legislators, writers, etc who disagree w him are "evil," and trying to cope with Epstein revelations.

And coverage will be nothing like "deplorables."

From "The Very Big Textbook of Body Language"

That would be you MAGA!

America's very own Gestapo is recycling Nazi Germany's "Have More White Children!" propaganda.

Well, that's an important difference between 45 & 47, innit?

Thus giving us a hierarchy of lies:
Bullshit: Per Harry G. Frankfurt: truth or falsehood is irrelevant to the purposes of the speaker.
Lie: Speaker has a reason to want the listener to believe something that is false. ("Untruth" in NYT-speak.)
Verification in reverse: The falseness is the point

This is unfolding much like Uvalde.

From The Guardian. Note the sharp uptick in non-criminal detentions after Stephen Miller’s tantrum.

I first read her waaay back during Hillarycare when she claimed she couldn't find anyone who had a preexisting condition.

PLEASE do not reproduce the apparently obligatory journalistic maneuver of pretending to go in with an open mind only to end up ridiculing cruising and cruise passengers. It's getting tiresome.

Inconceivable!

Watsit good for again?

I know something you don't know! 🎵 Nyaah, nyaah, nyaah!!!!!

The "we'll have a complete report next (month) (year) (time indeterminate)" and "now is not the time to point fingers" from Texas pols who are pointing fingers is quite reminiscent of Uvalde.

Thing is, Stone thinks *he* is bold as a lion.

Just wait. They are planning to rent out detainees from the camps. Thirteenth Amendment.

They are planning to rent out detainees as laborers. Just watch.

Reminds me of “classic” sports writing. Grantland Rice, for example, or Roger Angell.

Still waiting for someone, somewhere, to reference Winky Dink and You.
