Something I never knew existed when I was younger: There is an elite system of arbitrage in which the rich want to be famous and hang out with famous people; famous people want to be seen as smart and hang out with smart people, and smart people want money so they hang out with rich people.

Well it's not like they can just google some of the names in their own story to see what comes up and find much more interesting stories. No let's just go with a soft ball story about people moving.

Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million. Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

Thanks for writing and sharing this! Could I suggest one quick editing note? I think it'd help to have a very quick summary of the three categories of actions, before starting to talk about the boundaries between them. Otherwise a reader gets to a reference to Category Two before seeing a definition

throughout the Trump immunity decision, the Court champions the idea of an unfettered, uninhibited President. the darkest part of the opinion isn’t that it paves the way for an authoritarian leader, it’s that it yearns for one

Just at the most basic level it is really unhealthy to have to thought about Donald Trump as much as everyone in America has over the last nine or so years. Spending a decade of my life thinking about a super boring, super shitty crook and all the bad stuff he's doing or might do. It's embarrassing.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

I thought it was v notable that for all the lies that Trump effortlessly told last night, the one lie he refused to say was “I will accept the results of the 2024 election regardless of the outcome.” The moderators pressed him on this more than once & he refused to give a simple response each time.

As another commenter mentioned, if she hasn't had an MS assessment, that is probably worth asking about. Optic neuritis is a frequent first-noticed symptom for MS. Sorry, I know you're looking for tactical "next step" advice and this is strategic "what to ask about when she can see a doctor" advice.

Trump doesn't say it fully, but these two posts (from today) call for a riot at his own trial. It's not even particularly subtle. It's (a) "America loving protestors" should protest courthouses / "go out and protest" and (b) the police should stop protecting the courthouse in downtown Manhattan
