Ohio gave the world leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons. Where is the Thomas Midgley Jr. license plate commemorating Ohio's impact on the world?
My local coffee shop gave me a somewhat involved handmade St. Valentine's Day card for "John the Pour-over Guy." My loved one was impressed by it, too... but did tease me for insisting on calling it Saint Valentine's Day and not just Valentine's Day.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.
It was a "sideshow," I was told.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

The study found that only about 4% of the tariff burden is shouldered by foreign firms, with a “near-complete” pass-through of 96% to US buyers.
Americans Bear Almost All the Cost of Trump Tariffs, Study Shows
President Donald Trump’s duties on imported goods are paid almost entirely by American importers, their domestic customers and ultimately US consumers, a study from a German think tank concluded.

Ok I'm going to bed Bill Kristol is quoting Karl Marx
Marx remarks somewhere that historical events appear, as it were, twice: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
He forgot to add that beneath the farce also can lurk tragedy.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.
We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

Feels like we're at the stage where Nixon caved to the pressure and released transcripts of the Oval Office recordings, which turned out to have been heavily edited and misleading.
We might be jumping ahead to the 18 1/2 minute erasure, though.
But I'm not sure the 1-to-1 comparison really works?

Attention, historians of Watergate! I'm getting flashbacks from the months of back and forth, reversals and blunders over release of White House records. What stage are we at with the Epstein Files? Drip, drip, drip, as we used to say. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

You should quit social media for good
Platforms optimized for engagement warp our politics, erode attention, and harm our wellbeing. Here’s how I minimize time on the (anti‑)social web.

#cleveland #ideastream #wcsb Took a couple weeks, but the shadiness of a publicly funded non-profit destroying a public university's volunteer station under cover of secrecy has regional attention www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...
Tainted transfer of CSU radio station to Ideastream should be reversed: editorial - cleveland.com
To avoid further embarrassment, both Cleveland State University and Ideastream should acknowledge the irregularities and missteps, and unravel the deal until it can be transparently and openly debated -- including with full input from the loyal WCSB community, volunteer staff and others. And CSU still owes its own institution and the community detailed explanations about why such a move was even contemplated, writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.

The more I dig into what is going on at #Ideastream, something appears clearly wrong. I've supported them since their inception, but their $500k/yr CEO destroyed thriving local media #WCSB and appears mostly to spend time in California, not northeast Ohio.

As a supporter of #Ideastream since it's inception it pains me, but following the truly horrible thing they did to #WCSB and how they did it, the only action that will change their leadership is a boycott.
