A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Build a friend group who are more than willing before a planned get together to say "hey I'm at the tail end of a cold, ya'll want me to skip this one?" Yay for having consideration for the people around you!

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Under the Trump administration, fashion is losing its playfulness and taking cues from authoritarian aesthetics and conservatism.

How Trump-Era Politics Are Reshaping Fashion: From Barbiecore to Workwear

In this reported op-ed, writer Kelsey Stiegman connects the rise of MAGA politics to a darker fashion shift — where self-expression gives way to self-preservation.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Barely started and I've dug in to learn [more] about the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet that hit Jupiter in 1994, the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, and the Zanclean flood that apparently refilled the Mediterranean Sea somewhere around 5.5 million years ago.

Everyone needs to watch this.

1) Stephen Miller just blurted out that Trump has dictatorial power (plenary authority).

2) CNN removed the entire section of the exchange from its online version.

We need to ensure that this gets shared widely.

I did. For various reasons that are not the book's fault, it took me 6.5 months to finish and will probably take me half the day to review all the tabs and update my commonplace notebook. But worth it!
