Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

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.

I guess the thing is that I’d trust news sources that would go “PRESIDENT ARE NOW LEGALLY ABLE TO DO CRIME!!!! and also Biden is old and doddering”, but not “BIDEN IS OLD AND DODDERING!!!! and also Presidents can now legally do crime”

For me it’s not that I’m either ok or not ok with Biden as a candidate it’s that my brain cannot rationalize that the media has so uniformly freaked out about him while remaining comparatively serene about all the other far worse stuff in the past two weeks.

Regular reminder (no one reads me but I’m still self-conscious abt repeating myself) atmospheric CO2 for the next century (& only that, ideally) is a stock not a flow problem. A leak followed by a gradual reduction is a fucking DISASTER that we now have a pathway to avert.

I think his posting that he hadn't heard of project 2025 made people aware of project 2025 who hadn't looked it up before. Dare I hope that will hurt him?

So do we think the NYT will officially endorse Donald Trump if Biden doesn't step down? They've endorsed someone every election for as long as I remember. So even staying neutral would be in essence a nod to Trump.

It was really hard for me for a long time because I was struggling to make voice to text work, but I sold my soul to the Google version that uses AI, and it works a lot better. Damn I hate to admit that. So now I just talk it out and then do a quick proofread, much easier.

This week on the blog! This year's now customary July 4th-week post is on the philosophy of the American founding, liberalism (in the 'liberty' sense of the word) - what it is, where it comes from and its impressive track record.

I share the outrage about the media hyperfocusing on Biden while all but ignoring that Trump is a demented fascist fuckwit. The question is, what are we going to do about it? Can it be stopped? If not, what then? How do we get this ship turned around?

Rare event! Competing heat domes in the Southeast and Southwest US crank out two huge all-time record highs. Palm Springs 124 and Raleigh=Durham 106 with a heat index of 118! Las Vegas is forecast to break their all-time high this weekend and even Death Valley may come close.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

We saw a nice dose of this in the US during the height of the pandemic when people didn’t care if the elders died. How they are useless, vapid and have no purpose, by definition. “Get out of the way, make room for me, a younger person”. Our elders! Remember?? I do.
