Yeah. It's not about having some guarantee that the people in question will get back pay. It's about what it says about the GOP's internal perception of the strength of their position that they're walking stuff like this back so quickly.

She hasn't copped to it (and I wouldn't dream of asking), but I'm about 85% sure my therapist is on the spectrum.

Johnny Cash has been cool so long that he's had more than one round of being "forgotten and then found again to be cool" by people that weren't paying attention as they grew into middle age. Been going on for over three decades at this point.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was clearly a perfect little man who will be dearly missed.

If Hamilton is rolling with the lies-exposed-by-video "rammed by 10 cars" version of that incident on Saturday, his case is in a lot of trouble here. Judges don't enjoy being told to ignore the evidence of their eyes in favor of lies from lawyers.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

this cat looks like one of the Old Master painters who's just slept with three servants, argued viciously with his annoying patron about the inferior ham he receives, and then painted his masterpiece out of spite

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

Trump's temper tantrum after he isn't given the award will probably lead him to completely abandon any peace process for Gaza, which suits Netanyahu just fine. I wouldn't be half surprised to find that Netanyahu's been stringing Trump along to exactly that end.

"a future vote on extending subsidies" offered to the minority party that cannot pass the bill on their own, with a President utterly committed to the idea that he has unchecked recission power over spending?

It's about half a step removed from nothing at all.

The young progs yelled at you online, and, well, I guess you showed them! You helped render their culture an ugly, violent, stupid, contemptible wreck that will likely take decades to return to any form worthy of pride.

You showed those fucking kids! That will teach them to talk back.
