FYI: A heatpump is a reverse McDLT: instead of keeping hot and cold separate and then combining them, it takes combined hot and cold and makes them separate.

If you support the Electoral College on the grounds that it prevents the tyranny of the majority, how can you also support the end of Section 2 of the VRA?
Don't answer. I know. It's because you care only about conservative minorities, not racial ones.

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

This announcer pairing for the Club World Cup is highlighting why I prefer British soccer/football announcers to American ones.
The Brits sound like brand marketers; it’s business, but there’s art in there. American announcers sound like CFOs. It’s all stats and soulless analysis.

If trust in vaccines is declining (which it is, primarily among people who identify as Republicans), it may be because people like the head of the Department of Health and Human Services outright lie about vaccines being dangerous.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
