Man. I feel so much for the actual good humans who work for that paper. There are no jobs in journalism now, no other places to go, and we all gotta eat to live.

Had a story make it to the final round of consideration and miss the cut — and honestly, that feels almost as good as a sale. It really is appreciated when editors mention that sort of thing.

From @jbouie.bsky.social's piece. I don't think even the conservatives quite understand this part of it. It's been 248 years since the US had a king, quite a while since a monarch in Western society had the kind of power this describes; we're about to find out just how short a time that's been.

This told us this despite McConnell stealing a Supreme Court seat as part of a several decade & totally overt strategy to use the judiciary to impose their unpopular beliefs. They sometimes told us that actually we were the ones who didn't understand how to protect democracy...

They told us this after Iran-Contra & the AIDS crisis. After Bush v Gore. After Guantanamo & the torture memo. After Powell lied to the UN about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. After the Tea Party protests were filled with racist iconography...

The irony of this decision landing this week is a bit on the nose, in terms of telegraphing the final collapse of the American project to future historians.

If the American people could be trusted to choose an American Idol by voting with their phones during the live finale, I don't see why we can't trust them to do the same during a party convention! Let's give it a try, text 666-66 with YOUR choice for who should be the Democratic nominee for Preside

I've just read two books that I loved that I would not have otherwise picked up for all the various reasons—and I guess I'm just here to say that sometimes 'homework' reading (i.e. reading something you "have" to instead of something in your comfort zone) really does open you up.

Jennifer Thorne's DIAVOLA is a great horror novel about a) a haunted villa and b) how horrifying families are! I was delighted by how well she twined both aspects together and never let one dominate the other!
