A good lesson for Americans: major political change can sometimes take 14 years...or longer. 2016 was only 8 years ago. We are still going to go through some things.

Artist Hitomi Terasawa drew a meticulous cross-sectioned rendering of Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City before it was razed in 1994. Now we have rare scans revealing the inner workings of the labyrinth-like metropolis.

Things are pretty fucked up and the future is uncertain — probably the worst in my lifetime (perhaps excepting 1969 before I can remember). When it’s like that, I like to think about my grandparents and what they faced and got through with the Great Depression and WWII. /1

The only possible silver lining here is the money-motivated business types who before saw Trump as a manageable threat who could increase their profits now may see him as a non-manageable threat, and not worth the risk.

You do not need to read the entirety of today's 119-page opinion in Trump v. US. All you need to read is this paragraph from Justice Sotomayor in dissent:

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

This, right here, is the #1 concern with Biden. You do not get to "flag" at night as POTUS. Any nervous Trump voter who *might* consider voting for Biden now is faced with a sundowning president. wapo.st/4cmS8Sg

Who on Biden's staff thought it was a really strong point to send out a chart showing that almost any Democrat does as well against Trump as Biden does. This is their case for staying in? I mean, WTF?

1/ My thoughts on the Presidential Race after Thursday night's debate. A. Joe Biden had a very bad night. He appeared frail and disoriented, particularly at the start. He was poorly served by a format that provided for no "fact checking" by the moderators, because he was not up to the job of . .

From the article: "Donald Trump has proved himself to be a significant jeopardy to that democracy — an erratic and self-interested figure unworthy of the public trust."

I would like to know: a) who were the people responsible for advising Biden to do the debate, and prepare him for the debate, and b) why do they still have jobs in the administration?

Exactly this. The amount of head-in-the-sand, wishful thinking, "yeah but Trump is worse!" I'm reading today is reminiscent of 2016, when HRC's victory was so assured, the election wasn't even necessary.

Read the article. They say Trump is unfit for public office and a danger to democracy. The NYT wants Biden to drop out so that Democrats win. Democrats have to get real. Biden's chance of dying or developing dementia IN THE NEXT 4 YEARS is real, and a real concern for some voters.

No, the NYT wants Trump to run because he is such a flawed candidate, he is easy to beat. This is the NYT sounding the alarm that Biden is no longer the person to beat him. I would listen to the NYT and not dismiss them so flippantly.

Yes. It's that simple. All we need is: 2. A non-octogenarian mainline Democrat (who will put forth the same policies and appoint the same judges as Biden) but has basically 0% chance of dying or exhibiting dementia within the next 4 years.

Sorry, but I read this as the NYT saying "We actually do not want Trump to win, but Biden is at risk of not winning." Unfortunately I agree with the NYT.

Excited to introduce a project I've been working on for a long time: a thorough comparison of Biden and Trump on the issues. "The stakes, not the odds," to borrow from Jay Rosen. The initial version has 6 topics, but I'll be adding more, as well as updating with new statements/policies. Gift link:

I guess I’ve become sort of a science-hype debunker so as far as this goes, let me just say: it’s real. Really really real. You could soon get a shot every six months that would basically eliminate your chance of getting HIV. Taken a step further: we have the tools to eliminate HIV in our lifetime.
