I thought waiting until 7 pm to do a 20 minute bike ride would make the heat somewhat tolerable. I was wrong.

“This is the 4th attack on a school in the past couple of days…They justify that every time they target a school that there is a Hamas base & that Hamas fighters are in there, but we see that most of those who are injured or killed are Palestinian children women.”

An article in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, using the conservative estimate of 4 indirect deaths in Gaza for every one direct death (in other conflicts it’s been 3-15x), calculates that Israel has killed approximately 186,000 Palestinians. That is 8% of the population of Gaza.

regardless of what happens with the nomination, i will say this generation of dems--biden, pelosi, shumer, durbin, clyburn--have kindled a deep-seated hatred in me for them and their leadership, which is quite a feat given that i'm a lifelong dem who's voted, volunteered, and donated for 24 years

there's a certain irony that liberals who have spent four years yelling at leftists who criticize Biden at all for any reason have now, in one week, done more damage to Biden's candidacy than all those leftists combined

Are all the laws but one to go unexecuted, and the Government itself go to pieces lest that one be violated? Even in such a case, would not the official oath be broken if the Government should be overthrown when it was believed that disregarding the single law would tend to preserve it?

There’s a man at the bus stop - no legs. Sitting in the grass. Wheelchair in front of him. He’s not bugging anyone. Has no tent. At midnight tonight, technically, the city can have the cops give him a 100 ticket. Or arrest him if there’s “reasonable shelter.” Fuck this shit.

How do you respond as a journalist to people saying totally unhinged shit? Like do you just try to keep as neutral an expression as possible and say "oh, that's interesting, tell me more"?

The thing that's telling and exasperating about the centrist "Biden must drop out" calls is that... this was their guy! They act like the left insisted on him! But Biden was the guy they were saying Democrats should instead rally around when it looked like we might pick Bernie!

In my experience there is a really wild amount of variance in how it presents in people. I know I've definitely seen cases where I assumed their BAC must be one thing and then I'd see the blood draw or breath test results and realize I was way off

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.
