CTRL+F ā€œCubaā€, ā€œGuantanamoā€, and ā€œAmerican Singaporeā€ not found in the CBS webpage… Did they not try to ask him about that? Or was the interview recorded too long ago for that…

I think the article is saying that low limits of arsenic/cadmium were set for those infant rice cereals and over time it worked (levels decreased) but recent studies show families are just buying and cooking plain rice more of the time, which lacks a low limit and thus has high levels

Not trying to imagine this into being, but I’m surprised the admin isn’t taking aim at the 3rd Amendment with some kind of originalist ā€œDemocrats’ condos didn’t exist in 1791ā€ argument

…dang it, I wrote a whole alt text and lost it, probably because of a UI error. Video clip taken on a 2010 cell phone: Slowly panning across a view of a dimly lit hotel conference space. Rows of tables with white tablecloths, no objects on any of them. No people. Elevator music in the background.

Klein imagines that education's purpose is to give the economy "what it wants" from his children. There is never a sense that "the economy" or "society" is something that we can bend and shape to our will and values; instead, our job is just to conform to whatever it wants.

Avoiding even the appearance of impropriety for thee, anything short of proven quid pro quo for me

Remembering him scoffing 1-2 days ago that the US doesn’t need/want access to other countries markets, that other countries rightly want access to our big beautiful market… which… is kind of the original state of affairs, and also runs counter to shifting the trade deficit, right?

These are all really interesting examples of a level of interpersonal grace that I don’t even perceive or have cross my mind. Going to have me thinking for a while…

At a time when executive orders are casting doubt on medical treatments psychiatry.org/News-room/Ne... the @nytimes.com should be especially careful not to publish sloppy articles that support that narrative. Please! 13/13

So the administration are the ā€˜applicants’, and the response that he orders here must come from the prisoner’s lawyers?

This is basically a list of books about Black people, racism and gender. How is it legal to just purge Black books? Where are all the free speech folks who spent years decrying what they called leftist attacks on speech? Where are all the people who spilled all that ink handwringing over DEI?

When I saw it again after a couple decades, at least the fight scene on a train was striking — the first in live action where Bats looks fast and capable (of course the stiff suit limited Keaton.) And there’s less quick-cutting than in Nolan fight scenes where that obscures what’s happening.

The Alien Enemies Act would allow the Trump administration to remove people from the US based on an accusation alone. The accusation could be, as it is for our client, completely baseless. But they would remove them anyway, despite the dangers, despite the lack of due process.

SLJ laser-torching his way out of mortal danger at the end of that grimly funny car chase is just the best.

ā€œProfessional career scientistsā€ is an insult in this case, isn’t it šŸ˜‘
