Take a stroll in these waning hours of the snowstorm, if you can manage it. There’s something magical about watching the snowflakes flutter against the street lights, the quiet and the pristiness of the freshly coated landscape.

"The scariest thing about contemporary American politics is that on January 7, 2021, it was widely acknowledged among American conservatives that Donald Trump’s behavior on January 6th was completely unacceptable" but now "nobody in the Trump orbit feels any need to even try to reassure anyone"

I’ve said it before, will doubtless say it again: These folks are going to be permanently resentful because they’re seeking political power as a substitute for cultural power, and it’s never going to give them what they actually want.
I love how far afield this is from any problem government can address. “Now that Trump won people have to like and agree with me and not tell me I suck anymore.” bsky.app/profile/yash...

Wouldn’t it be nice if this fact mattered more than the false perception that crime is up.
Breaking News: The U.S. is on track for a record decline in homicides in 2023, according to FBI data, after they rose sharply during the pandemic. Many other categories of crime are also in decline.
