I have never heard anything funkier than Ray Charles' piano opening up this song. The rhythm of it, the spacing, and the flow drive better than anything I can recall hearing anywhere else.

These mottos on cop cars are there to counter impressions that people currently have. If they want to remind you that they're fighting crime, it's because people can't draw that inference from their behavior. The ones in my city say "we are here to help"

Sen. Josh @HawleyMO: "Some will say now that I am calling America a Christian Nation. So I am. And some will say that I am advocating Christian Nationalism. And so I do." Christian nationalism is fascism and Nazism as politics-and hawley is a proud fascist.

I remember that in 2016, there was one black guy in Ohio who liked both 1) Trump and 2) answering the phone. And he was responsible for a few ppts of black American toplines in multiple polls.

Electric vehicle rebates never "fill up" (they shouldn't!) E-bikes achieve our climate, health & road safety goals better than EVs, but politicians drive everywhere & see people who bike as Others tl;dr subsidies for rich are Incentives (good!); subsidies for working class are Handouts (bad!)

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

You have to convert from English pints to American pints. To the average American liver, that's two bottles of beer.

He looked lively in the after-debate party, and the next day in NC. I looked in on that, because I was curious if the debate was a one off. He was full of fire in what I saw of those events.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

It makes me uncomfortable that this is the same logic used by the Christian Nationalists. I don't know what to do with that, or how I feel about it. Maybe I'm mad they're forcing a crisis on us, that this would be necessary at all.

Obama's ascent definitely turned the screw, but I'm far from the first person to point out that it goes back further. Bush v Gore feels more like the beginning of the judicial end for me. Rule breaking, conservative rulings have gotten more common in the last year or so, but not more serious.
