So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

This has been my point for weeks about what Musk is after. Consolidated data from the biggest mine of information in the world. He’s so thirsty for data he’d get his hands on the nuclear codes if he could. Could he? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

When it comes to health care, Washington state will be guided by doctors and other health care providers, not politicians in D.C. That’s why we’ll continue to defend your reproductive freedom.

My friend Mariana told me about this: BAM is hosting a series of films about libraries, March 7-13. I think I’ve seen almost all of them, but still: it’s nice to be reminded of institutions that prioritize the creation and preservation of knowledge, rather than its distortion and destruction!

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks and the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

OK but let’s get our story straight, folks. When in 2023-24 Biden/Harris called Trump an existential they got lectured for not speaking about middle class economic worries. And now Dems getting lectured when they do. Moving the goal posts is fave way media dings libs and Dems.

He mismanaged a pandemic that wrecked the economy & killed millions. His followers led the most violent insurrection in our history. He was impeached twice—then reelected. And y’all keep asking Democrats to ‘do something.’ What exactly is that ‘something’?

If you haven’t really been through tough times you won’t make it through this. This is a time for grit, creativity, and finding your village. Nobody is going to storm the capital for you when you would not circle a dot for them.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Look, I'm hardly one to defend DEI, but this is an incredibly poorly-reasoned article that bases its prescriptive argument on incredibly flimsy grounds. www.vox.com/politics/399...

If you take part in the resurrected "R" slur it doesn't make you sound cool or edgy. It makes you sound like an asshole. Everyone who uses that word sounds like a fucking moron.
