5/A similar attack by a U boat in WWII resulted in conviction for war crimes. Even in wartime, an attack like this is a crime. If we are not at war—an issue the experts are now hotly debating—it’s quite simply murder. Continue reading here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-moment...

Stress dream. Went to a faculty council meeting and the chair decided we all needed to meditate so he made us climb onto an airplane that he then drove around the parking lot. A medical provider then loudly examined my abdomen on the plane and let everyone know what he was doing.

Gov Walz is saying what we’ve been saying. If the president is this erratic, then the public deserves to know what is going on. Four simple words: show the MRI results.
If Trump is fine, prove it. If he isn’t, step aside.

The irony for me is how Musk bought Twitter with the clear intention of capturing & manipulating the press culture there — something many journalists reported on — and yet they stay there because each assumes they can’t be manipulated… while totally getting manipulated.
This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.
