it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Preparing a talk, and the built in AI in powerpoint keeps suggesting designs for the slides. This is the worst one I have seen.
Powerpoint slide with images for each bullet point, including a skull for Marriage, birth, and death records; a checkmark for confirmation services; and Flying BATS for bar and bat mitzvahs.

Rubio: That’s irrelevant

Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down

I constantly return to the simple fact that we would be in a whole lot better shape right now if people in power could just admit when they make mistakes or are wrong.
It’s not that hard. Really.
