Yeah, I want to do a crisp or cobble with stone fruit and a tomato/pesto/ricotta tart, but I cannot bring myself to turn on the oven.

I put a river birch in the ground in early June and that ish is probably dead. Would have been 30 ft tall with a great canopy eventually, but it's damn near impossible to keep plants from vaporizing out there.

Right? One would assume there are plans for that, but nothing when the “feels like” is 103?

Very funny that the Times was so certain about the panic they were causing that they set up a little live update election-season scoreboard for it

Just to be clear, the current NYT home page is 4 stories about Biden's age, plus another editorial board urging him to withdraw, plus about how Trump is moderating the GOP on abortion.

Yes, he’s too old. But the time to litigate that was in 2023. It’s too late to replace him now, I believe that would be worse than having him run.

Worth noting the EPA's brief correctly uses "nitrogen oxide" 7 times, and the EPA submitted a declaration from an official who used it twice. But nobody involved in the majority opinion, Justices and clerks, bothered to take the EPA's brief seriously, and so none of them noticed the error.

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

Anyone keeping track of the narratives pushed by law & order centrists during the pandemic that have disintegrated? I've got the shoplifting panic, cops quitting because of protesters, progressive DAs ushering in new age of crime & violence, bail reform = more crime . . . Others?

Well, well, well. WELL. That whole “protests made cops feel bad so they all quit” narrative? Looks like it was mostly myth. Excited to read this paper by Ben Grunwald, who compiled a huge dataset on post-2020 police employment. Agg decline was 1%… and bigger local declines not tied to protests.

Every big media organization was so crossed-up by Trump winning in 2016 that they have been behaving and hiring as if Long Island-Coded Suburbo-Racist Sociopathy was on an unstoppable ascent worldwide, and interpreting everything backwards from there. It turns out most people actually hate it!

NYT says their performance on Threads today was an aberration, & not indicative of deeper problems they've had with social media. Unfortunately, that hasn't satisfied many observers whose concerns are growing louder. The stakes are too high. For the good of the news, the Times should step aside
