Anyway this feels like a bit of a "physician heal thyself" moment. I got out of work early & I'm going to hit some weights then go out & buy Salmon burgers. See you all Monday.

The overwhelming odds are we come out fine here as well. Terror helps no one, dooming only depresses you. If you gotta get off this website, it's a fucking holiday spend time with your family! All this will still be here Monday & I promise you'll feel a lot better about it too. /end

None of that shit happened. It wasn't as bad as people feared & if they'd stop to look at the facts instead of their own gnawing terror they would have seen that. Omicron lead to a huge surge in case but not deaths, we came out fine, not perfect, but fine. 3/4

People were demanding Biden declare martial law to keep people indoors! Arthur Chu said he wished the vaccines were never invented & the PLA was in charge! Chris Hayes was asking what would happen if Omicron was more deadly than said but just as virulent! (well Chris in that case we'd all die!) 2/

I keep coming back to how this feels exactly like the terror I saw gripping people on Twitter during the Omicron surge. Just like then a problem we thought was licked came back in force. Just like then some folks' terror lead them to demands that Biden take extreme measures. 1/

It’s just popping into my head again because of Chomsky discourse but the public still doesn’t talk enough about how Trump obviously knew who Jeff Epstein was, knew he deserved to rot in prison and still gave Alex Acosta (who gave him his sweetheart plea deal) a position in his cabinet

I think one of the big things Biden could accomplish during this ABC interview is to talk candidly about living with & compensating for a stutter.

I stutter. I’m also a pretty good extemporaneous speaker. I’ve been rattled to the point of panic when things start going off the rails. It is IMO likely that a big chunk of Biden’s debate struggles were downstream of a rocky start and attempts to recover through his mouth throwing 404s

I feel like I once again need to tell people to calm the fuck down. We aren't even a week from the debate & all indicators (aside from the already suspect NYT Sienna poll) show it has not damaged Biden's standing.

And Serwer's explicit point in his article is that IF Biden isn't fit to campaign then he isn't fit to be President, not that he should step down.

I think basically what's going on here is every journalist is reporting in the Woodward and Bernstein tradition, where if your reporting results in a big change in policy or (!!!) a presidential resignation, you win all the Pulitzers.

The problem is you can only argue it for so long before it gets boring for everyone involved. To use the recent example of Isquith, that guy has been trying to push the "Biden old" stuff his paycheck demanded for months now & when it wasn't annoying it was just dull.

We are not seeing clear evidence of that. Every single one has been deceptively edited or ONE (1) (I) meaningless backbencher. So if the polls aren't changing & the allies aren't actually quitting then all we have is the NYT's & your dishonesty.

I don't know how much more proof you need that Biden needs to be the one than Trump & co. saying they think someone else would be a bigger challenge. They're lying, of course, because they're literally incapable of telling the truth about everything. They *want* someone, anyone else.

Biden needs to bring back the "Wordle Website" crack because 1) It's fucking funny 2) It's appropriately demeaning to the NYT & 3) Sulzberger is such a thin skinned little freak there's a very real chance we could get him to dump his biggest revenue stream in a fit of pique.

This is especially weird as Biden said literally the night of the debate that he acknowledges that he's old, & he doesn't speak as well that he used to, but he still knows the truth & believes in America. He came up with a solid on-the-record rebuttal almost immediately, but it was ignored.
