I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

A few days ago, a friend asked me to make a FB group for our friend circle planning a tea party.

Love being "governed" by a petulant child.

Court conservatives: "Ruling against Trump could break trade deals! This is bad!"

Trump, less than a day later: breaks trade deals in a fit of infantile rage.
