My Union family sent the "delicate" boys to the Civil War because it would be warmer down South for the winter. A few even made it back home, but it does show that this attitude has been around for a while.

For the same reason handlers of search & rescue dogs occasionally have volunteers put themselves in a position to be "found" alive in a grim disaster scene -- to keep up morale so that these dogs keep working -- I give you this screen shot from the BOP showing the current location of Steve Bannon.

I would go a step further and suggest that this conversation never happened. Someone at this stage (Trump, Douthat) is obsessed with imagining themselves dispensing superior knowledge to the lesser folk, next she'll be saying "many fine people come to me and say. . ."

Kamala Harris isn't some perfect solution to all that ails the Democratic party. But she is basically the only other plausible option, and insisting that a white or male figure untested on the national stage is somehow a safer option is telling on your own racial and gender attitudes.

We were going to have a crash-cart moment about Biden at some point and I'm grateful it was in late June, not October. There's some educating that needs to be done there, not the least of which is that VP Harris is our presumptive nominee and it looks like that beating may take some time.

WIRED caught an AI company scraping its articles w/o permission. Turns out, Amazon was hosting the machine doing the scraping, even though that violates Amazon's terms of service.
Oh! And the AI company is funded by Jeff Bezos.

Right-wingers have been trying to rewrite the truth of Trump's 2017 "very fine people remarks", oftentimes blaming a lAcK oF cOnTeXt from the left.
So I decided to solve that problem.
Here's a half-hour video that goes through Trump's *entire* press conference... for context: youtu.be/0-684oJSbus

I was inspired to search Morbidity and Mortality Weekly (MMR) from the CDC and yes, in 2023 an adult slipped on a toy car and it catapulted them out a second story window so now you have a defenestration option.

If you actually read the two cases putting preliminary injunctions on pieces of Biden's income-driven repayment program, as I did, you find they are contradictory, inconsistent with 30 years of IDR in practice, and totally unworkable:

Don't tell him the one weird trick that made Walden Pond work for that writer, okay? That's when your mom sneaks in and does your laundry and your sister delivers meals and (probably) ice cream and you never bring this up in your documentation.

As a child of the 50's in rural New England the list of things I know from experience will not kill me is extremely long and depressing: suet pudding, lard cakes, rutabaga, Paregoric, cod liver oil, sawdust pancakes, steamed offal, codfish and celeriac mash, pease porridge, boiled bean loaf. . .

Don't buy plants at local sales. Make a cash contribution if you like, but amateur potted plants are full of invasive weeds and bugs that spread through the community through well-meaning handoffs. I've seen weedy pots of poison ivy used as fundraising for my local library - not fun.
