Great pod, and now Higher Learning is on my Pocketcast! 🙏

Not only that, but the placement is terrible.

Solid clip. The one of Sen Duckworth grilling Hegseth is fantastic. I notice that they are both wearing Army green. Interesting choice.

Curious as to how CARE is being defined.

His presidency is the biggest vanity project in the modern Western world. If reporters are going to cover this bullshit, they should ask him who will be entombed with him in his mausoleum when he goes.

Cruz missed the broad outlines. It's not like he missed the population by 20% - he didn't even know enough to take a shot. The ethnic composition is even more critical, and he couldn't get that either.

Carney *clearly* stipulated a NO SCHLUB policy. No wonder he was irked.

Oh geez. Alphafold is enormously useful. Can't we leave it at that and not ask it to sing Puccini and make perfect seared sea scallops?

Why not?

Similar: botulism.

An EXCELLENT question. Someone with access should have the guts to ask THAT - not questions like "Are you gonna call Tim Walz?" which have obvious answers that are good for click bait and nothing else. We already know what he's like.

Tough call, but I would go with #1 followed by #3.

This is not news. Trump was a shit stain on the Constitution and on the face of humanity yesterday. He will be today. He will be tomorrow, and in fact every day until he dies.

I was taking a train from Boston to Old Orchard Beach summers back, and by the last half hour of the journey the car was fairly empty. There was a guy who had his haptic feedback on, and there was an unbroken stream of TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP while he texted, breaking my peace. I say BE THE KAREN.

I would call you and Senator Markey, but you already seem to be on the job. Thank you for continuing to BRING IT!

TBH, I would be happy with 18 minutes.

When your only guiding principles are enriching yourself and wreaking vengeance on your enemies - and pretending like you're not - there's no guiding force for consistency.

Grifters gonna grift. Is this journalism or shilling?
comment in response to post
That's it exactly. Every answer is a gut response and only considers what would be maximally manipulative for the moment. Truth never comes into it.

He's a terrible guy. I wish the press wouldn't be such a consistent patsy for him.

Back in the day, my high school band did it better for just bragging rights.

As per Lucky Loser, the whole damn jacket was appropriated from a classmate who was actually accomplished.

It was a great occasion!

Usually downtown is my jam, but it was a pleasure to protest with Waltham today. Great event! Great interplay between the crowd and people driving through.

We need pro choice women in politics. I'm not interested in the other kind but YMMV.
