Noli timere — we can face anything, except bunnies
ps the fan plus air filters actually really works to clean your air and protect yourself
Kagan not holding back the alarm bells on what the campaign finance decision means for the legitimacy of our political institutions—
It’s just insane we are reorganizing our entire society to serve the interests of AI, especially when that AI is useless
Really curious what the rest of that affidavit says because here is what the NPS website says about filming at the Lincoln Memorial (tl:dr —- any filming that is not “general visitor use” requires a permit)
Simultaneously makes me want to spontaneously combust in frustration and gives me a sliver of hope
JFC— in any sane world, or even just any administration before this one— everyone involved in this would be fired & the agency find a way to better support front line staff. I mean they destroyed ACORN for giving tax advice to a pretend sex worker but the advice wasn’t “consider killing yourself”
Shout out to my neighbor who turned her frustration, anger and despair over the news into public art
Mark Twain had it right— “Intellectual work is misnamed; it is a pleasure, a dissipation, and is its own highest reward.”
Was reading the DC Bar report on the Jeff Clark disbarment (s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...) and it has one of the more detailed descriptions of what was happening pre-Jan 6th that I’ve seen. This statement for example jumped out at me given what Gabbard has said lately—
Well it is packaged with a full repeal of vehicle GHG standards and they did do a benefit-cost analysis for that. Of course it showed net costs of $30 to $350 billion (depending on assumptions/discount rates) so they came up with some new assumptions/analyses to make the numbers look better.
This is just an absolute disgrace of access journalism. You don’t provide anonymity to the WH to make ridiculous claims about how great they are. If someone wants this in the story they can put their name on this BS. It’s not even coherent to call it “internal deliberations” for goodness sake!
