In the NYT, here are the two reports directly beneath the news of two Guardsmen being shot: Trump agents deporting the spouses of citizens and Trump agents arresting folks without warrants. Don’t tell me Trump and his aides aren’t trying to incite violence to justify martial law.

anyway these are all great books so far and you could do a lot worse than picking one up, reading the first two chapters tonight, and desperately using it as a conversation topic if someone gets a little too weird over pie

do I agree with this or am I just happy to see someone cite the original meaning of “unveiling” contained in ἀποκάλυψις
The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

for no reason at all, imagine your estranged mother is a famous actress and a lot of your friends have a little crush on her and you can't really avoid hearing about her
and then you get on estrogen and you end up looking almost like a carbon copy of her

Liberal arts are only good for understanding people, not things, and so they suck
Who, pray tell, is worshipping the liberal arts? Where is the mythical university alluded to here where STEM and business courses are criticized and somehow disincentivized by those in power?
It’s time to stop worshipping the liberal arts | Letters
Letters: While such institutions have intrinsic value, that doesn’t mean they are entitled to be socially favoured or economically exceptional for ever, says Jianyang Geng

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

I'm pretty sure this is the one where, as I bleed out onto the forest floor, they play a silent shot of the swordsman using a knife to free a trapped bluebird from a bramble. and I die, having learned nothing

Well that makes our decision a lot easier
Once more leaning in to “Let’s just be assholes”. Right across the spectrum of cases and circumstances, it’s all so hateful and pointless.

Hell with it, I'm just going to post the whole thing here via screencap and alt text. It's Kaleb Horton, man, his writing always deserves the second read, especially since it could have just easily been lost forever like so much else. Read it, share it.

Charlie Brown was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by Scheoeder, Lucy, Linus, and Peppermint Patty. Snoopy signed it: and Snoopy’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to.

It can literally be caused by poverty. Literally just subjecting your caregivers to financial stress causes it.
We should dream of a world where the first 10 years of a child's life is filled with happy, calm, kind adults. Even just three years changes everything.

I think a lot about how profoundly unfair childhood trauma is.
It gives you a disability for effectively the rest of your life, AND can make you underearn, struggle with stability, become abused later in life, on top of impacting your physical health for years.
