So many neat things happening that give reason to believe we can still build a better world, even in the face of climate catastrophe & right-wing psychosis. We can't give up hope.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

This is, to be honest, my problem with anyone claiming theyâre constantly repeating NYT talking points because theyâre worried about Trump winning. Thatâs how weâd behave in any election, debating about strategy and armchair quarterbacking. It shows an abstract worry, not a visceral fear.

Oh, thanks NYT and other media, too, for covering every Hillary story as if it were hugely significant and damning, while breezing over Trump stories like, "Eh, NBD." Great to see you've learned from that mistake! Wait, I'm being informed they have not, in fact, learned from that mistake.

Thanks, Comey! It turns out if you make a totally unnecessary ass-covering announcement about a separate cache of e-mails you've actually already seen less than two weeks before the election, it just might affect the outcome! Gee, whoda thunk?

It can be both, though, I think. It might have been covered with little fanfare years ago, but that means it's still new information for a lot of people, and if there's some event that warrants bringing it forward again, I say go for it.

Ugh. I never subscribed, but I used to have respect for it as a publication. I wish I could remember the exact article I read that made me realize it no longer deserved it, if it ever had; it was something to do with education, and it was flagrantly biased, while pretending to objectivity.
