Michael Tracey seems to see himself as goring sacred cows, and interprets the resulting hate as proof he's a free-thinking iconoclast. The problem is, he's not smart enough to find actual sacred cows, so instead he just acts like a lout, then bizarrely celebrates being widely despised.

Psychics should have their brains melt out of their ears if they walk into Auschwitz, but I'm guessing ghost hunters are smart enough to realize how (at best) insensitive it would be to claim people tortured and killed by the Nazis are trapped forever in one of the worst places on Earth.

The raw visceral hatred some men have for women, at least women who step out of line, is shocking. I know it sounds like some sorta "one of the good ones" ploy but I am genuinely taken aback when I see it because I think: I had a fairly normal socialisation as a man in the west, how did I miss this?

As a survivor reading between the lines of this very carefully written story it sounds like Jonathan McKinsey was a trans man in an abusive and controlling marriage who was targeted for violence repeatedly by his ex-wife and her parents and eventually murdered. But as a reporter? I can't be sure.

The immediately following sentence seems to make this pretty damning for Biden. It is indeed true that a PTOUS has exceptional discretionary power to suspend military assistance, so why didn't he do so? Especially after three State Dept bodies said Israel was in violation of US arms transfer law.
The Situation Room connected the call. Biden jumped in. “Bibi, man, what the fuck are you doing?” He gripped the phone tight. “You think I’m Santa Claus? No Santa in Israel, pal.” When Netanyahu asked what he meant, Biden said he could cut off military aid to Israel with the snap of a finger, leaving the country on its own. Netanyahu retorted that Israel would defend itself even without the United States. (We later learned that he concluded from this call that we were cutting military supplies.)

Did third spaces really used to exist? What are some examples of what they for and how they functioned?
I keep hearing that the death of third spaces have made so many things worse, but it's genuinely unimaginable to be able to go to a place and just hang out and not have to spend a bunch of money. The only one I can think of near me is a library which, since it's government funded, doesn't require it to make a profit.
Did third spaces used to be more common? How did they fund themselves? What kinds of things did people do at them?Captain Black falling under control of the Mysterons

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.

We should try having some group of people who get to vote on approving agency heads like OMB director.

Sen. Susan Collins

@SenatorCollins
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse. 
 
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.  
  
Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
 
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
 
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.
