We're now experiencing a heat dome in Portland, and this will be the longest-lasting in our city's history. Notables: Friday: Upper 90s Saturday: 101 Sunday: 101-105 Mon: 100 Tues: 100 This is significant for so many reasons, and not just bc many people here don't have AC.

So is this part we repeat history almost a century later and start regarding the NYTimes as less of a “trusted news source” and more “a vital part of the fascist propaganda machine”?

#Metoo ruined lives: the women’s. For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about Christine Blasey Ford’s memoir “One Way Back,” the aftermath of disclosure, and what it means to be a public survivor when storytelling has proven futile. www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...

new from me: John Roberts shot down Trump's absurd "double jeopardy" argument in his immunity case, finding it ridiculous to assume that an impeachment trial acquittal triggered criminal immunity. Because we can't have nice things, he then replaced it with an even more airtight protection for Trump

It seems clear at this point that Biden wants to stay, some powerful people in the party want him to leave, and other powerful people in the party are refusing to commit decisively. NYT and others are trying to work the refs, but it's the wobbliness at the top that's giving them that opening.

Intelligence committee chairman, not a dismissible figure. (Unfortunately!) If Biden has to drop out, doesn’t he have to resign? I don’t understand how he could be incapable of being the nominee but capable of governing.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

Another asinine 'solution' to the Biden Problem, this time from Yascha Mounk. Again, these people think their *entire job* is political strategy and predicting poll numbers. Yet they somehow think that spending months drawing attention to their own party's weaknesses is a good strategy!

Sunak losing his seat would be hilarious but also would allow him to flee the UK for his obvious trajectory of “director of ___” in Silicon Valley whereas if he wins his seat he has to stay in the UK. Too many of you are willing to sacrifice greater long-term hilarity for short-term humor rewards.
