Mind your own and be happy. You have no idea what the other side thinks is important and it is not your business. Back off.

I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

Artist Hitomi Terasawa drew a meticulous cross-sectioned rendering of Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City before it was razed in 1994. Now we have rare scans revealing the inner workings of the labyrinth-like metropolis.

I give the Strib’s Evan Ramstad credit for thinking through the implications of Trump’s re-election on Minnesota’s economy. I think he’s mostly right. strib.gift/abj0y5dzj (no paywall)

I was explaining to spouse (not a political junkie) the SCOTUS ruling. He asked, is this coordinated? I explained the ruling sounded like Bill Barr wrote it (and it immunized shit Barr pulled). And then went to Opus Dei. And the Leonard Leo. Probably, it is coordinated.

That's one of the things - besides Biden's woeful condition - that drove me crazy last night: His team thinks this is about *policy* and a *record*, when that's just not what this is about.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

It would be easier to keep the Supreme Court from governing if we had a functioning legislature. If we define that as "passes all appropriations bills on time," we literally have not had a functioning legislature in my kids' lifetimes. My daughter votes in her 3rd presidential election this year.

If you think everything is unfair and you make it a mission in your life to be fair. Internally you may be an unhappy person but the world sees you as a person that treats people very fair(well and good). And that habit can lead to a well lived life

If you take Trump at his word that he wasn't referring to the Nazis and white supremacists when he was saying "very fine people," you have to imagine there were people in this group who weren't white supremacists.

this is a Good Question, and the answer has a lot to do with the economics of venture capital. VCs need there to be a transformative breakthrough tech that offers massive returns bc their model is, to some extent, predicated on having a Facebook every once and while to offset failed investments.

Without IVF, I would not be a father. When the Southern Baptists condemn IVF, they are saying that the wish my child did not exist. The Southern Baptist church has been on the wrong side of history since its inception.
