I have a very flexible job, but that’s a catastrophic delay. A system where that happens regularly is not usable. I’ve done what I can as a rider — I know the 8:00 is often late, so I take the 7:30. I have several backup routes. But ultimately, this is a system issue with system solutions.

My dad was a big Crab Salts Ultra guy. I remember when I was a kid, our garage cabinets were full of different supplements. I would take a dropper full of colloidal silver every day before school. Crab Salts Ultra can do a lot to help you. Unfortunately for my dad, it didn't treat lung cancer.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Smith chose to stay away from Willis because he's smart and she's an idiot. He was managing the unusually sensitive optics. But it's not a rule. There's nothing wrong as such with state and federal prosecutors talking to each other about related cases. It wouldn't be scandalous even if he had.

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

One of my most galaxy-brained takes is that politicians and political groups should talk more about workers’ share of national income. It's one of the clearest, simplest ways to describe how billionaires and corporate elites captured so much of the economy--and something policy can change.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

Trump wraps up his authoritarian presser by doubling down on his "very simple ban" of CNN, MS NOW and Politico, boasting that he got paid off by CBS and ABC, and saying that "we are banning them" and "there may be others to follow." Anyway, I'm sure the WHCA is proud of itself today.
