CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.

She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Fox has devoted just over 6 minutes of airtime to the Hernández pardon since Trump announced his intention to pardon the notorious drug trafficker 12 days ago.

The legal system is in no way ready for climate change.

If county doesn't pay for access road to wealthy coastal enclave:

"Abandoning Calle del Arroyo to the rising seas, for example, would expose the County to billions in liability from Seadrift homeowners who would lose access to their homes."
This is the totally wild letter I was thinking of - from after the county abandoned the coastal hazard planning update but in response to the "Adaptation and Resilience Collaborative" report from this past summer. Page 2 is where the gloves really come off.

What are we as a culture & civilization going to do w/ the full appreciation of the knowledge every human on earth has striven & worked for, the understanding, the grasp of the grand scope of human history? Idk, do workers drones need any of this? The new nepolosipher kings can decide all that now

Chainsaw Man Reze Arc is such a good standalone experience, built to just tell a cinematic story without needing the previous season necessarily. But I’m so happy that they added the end credits with Power. She’s not really a part of the arc, but she’s one of the best characters in the series

Deep thought: people who compare Nuzzi to Didion have not read Didion (or at least not recently) and do not understand her (for want of a better word) program--what she was trying to do writing as she did.
I write words. Words are written. Words that form writing. Words to the wise. Word to your mother. Word to your father too. Have you heard? The bird is the word. My word is bond. Bond, James Bond. I, too, was shaken, if not stirred. Shaken by my words. The words I write. Because I write words. Word.
Only 17 pages in and I am winded.
