Kuvin: So, we know the FBI has it. We have to assume they reviewed it—and that some agent, or multiple agents, have created internal memos identifying who appears on those videos. And that’s what we need: the internal FBI memos showing who they’ve identified on the recordings.

You may now use this information to subtly troll very conservative members of your extended family, as you pick out any winter holiday decorations.

As I get into the sexual selection and sexual dimorphism part of my evolution module, a reminder:

In Northern Cardinals, the males are bright red. The females are a brown/gray, with orange beaks.

So if you see two bright red birds snuggling together on wrapping paper or a card: they're gay.

If you don’t believe narrative matters more than reality, just look at how hard (non-Black) born again Christians have polarized towards the GOP since 2016, when a man who has approximately none of the qualities encouraged by Jesus in the Gospels became the leader of the Republican Party.

“The Insurrection Act was meant to preserve the republic when civil authority collapsed, not to overrule it.”

Federal judge blocked troop deployment.

“The law was written to protect the republic from collapse. Now it will test whether the republic still stands.”

Bari herself aside, the assumption that a bunch of newspaper people, even ones with actual chops like Bennet, can run a TV newsroom seems… misguided??

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

Not an expert on this stuff but I have the sense that no one backing Weiss understands that what she has done her whole career, opinion-based news-flavored content, is distinct from news reporting.

Again, going in circles, but Trump ****literally**** does not understand how the American government works. He has ****never**** understood it. He was, until this administration, protected from his own stupidity but now there is no longer anyone at the helm. It’s ***actual*** anarchic governance.
