Classic MAGA. Corruption in the name of cruelty or cruelty in the name of corruption, they’re so mixed up you can’t tell the difference. But it’s always stealing from us to hurt us.

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

Now that many people are buying my 2017 metrical verse translation of the Odyssey in great numbers (thank you, Mr Nolan!), or at least, gazing at it and wondering whether to buy it, I thought I should share some thoughts on the cover design.

This is a really good read on the status of the ICE warehouses and how they are being stopped.
KABAS: What role do you feel resistance by regular people played in changing the conversation around the warehouses?

WRITSTON: Massive. When we talk about the political side of things, there was an assumption that the typical liberal left was going to be upset about the warehouses, and that was going to be that. And of course they're upset. But because it was a very bipartisan backlash and there were Republican senators and Republican representatives and Republican townships that were fighting against these in Republican districts alongside your broad spectrum of political affiliations, it really sent a message that this is a group of people that are united in their dislike. That sends a pretty clear message on down-ballot issues in upcoming elections, especially the midterms, and I think they realize that this is a losing issue.

I stood for hours in bitter cold to hear him say, “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Today, not 6 months later, in the heat, in the same spot, millions made that manifest: “What a gift it is to be brought together by pure, unfiltered joy.”

🧵(1/3) NSW respiratory surveillance reports: 21 May 2026 Week ending 16 May 2026: 🔸COVID positivity rate: 4.1% (+0.1%) 🔸Number of laboratories reporting COVID: 3 out of 4 🔹COVID: 1,092 (+20.4%) 🔹Influenza: 435 (+28.7%) 🔹RSV: 1,815 (+15.0%) Source: health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/c...
The image is a document titled "NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report – week ending 16 May 2026" from the NSW Government.
A prominent box at the top states: "Influenza and COVID-19 are both at a low level of activity. RSV is at a moderate level of activity."
The text contains two main sections:
•	Summary: Repeats the virus activity levels and notes that 2026 influenza vaccines are available.
•	Data sources and methods: Explains how NSW Health monitors respiratory viruses using PHREDSS data, wastewater surveillance, Whole Genome Sequencing, and laboratory networks. It notes that public registration of positive RATs ceased on September 30, 2023, and that data updates prevent direct comparison to previous report versions.
The image is a data table titled "Table 1: Notifications of COVID-19, influenza and RSV, NSW, tested in the week ending 16 May 2026."
An interpretation text at the top notes a past-week increase of 20.4% in COVID-19 notifications, 28.7% in influenza notifications, and 15.5% in RSV notifications.
The table breaks down total notifications and year-to-date counts for all three viruses across three main categories:
•	Gender: Shows counts for Female and Male.
•	Age group (years): Lists 11 age bands ranging from 0–4 to 90+.
•	Local Health District of residence: Breaks down notifications across 15 regions in New South Wales (e.g., Central Coast, Northern Sydney, Western Sydney).
The final row provides the total weekly notification counts: 1,092 for COVID-19, 435 for Influenza, and 1,815 for RSV.
A bar chart shows weekly COVID-19 notifications in New South Wales from 1 November 2024 to 16 May 2026.
The vertical axis measures weekly notifications from 0 to 8,000. The horizontal axis plots the test date by month.
Key trends in the data include:
•	Late 2024 to Early 2025: Activity fluctuates between 1,500 and 3,000 weekly cases.
•	Winter 2025 Peak: A large wave begins in May 2025, peaking in June and July 2025 at just over 4,000 weekly notifications.
•	Late 2025 to Mid-2026: Case counts steadily decline through spring, remaining consistently low under 1,000 cases per week through early 2026, with a tiny uptick in May 2026.
Would you like an alternative text description for the Influenza or RSV sections of this report if you have them?
The image contains a dual-axis line and bar chart (Figure 14) and a data table (Table 2) showing COVID-19 test positivity at NSW sentinel laboratories from 1 November 2024 to 17 May 2026.
An interpretation note at the top states that in the last week, test positivity increased to 4.1% for COVID-19, 1.5% for influenza, and 4.7% for RSV.
•	Figure 14 (Chart): Light blue bars represent the number of positive tests (left axis, 0–12,000), while a dark grey line tracks the percent positive (right axis, 0–30%). Positivity peaks at 9.6% in January 2025 and 7.3% in July 2025, before flattening below 5% through early 2026, ending at 4.1% in May 2026.
•	Table 2: Details the four weeks ending 17 May 2026 across 3 reporting laboratories. For the final week (17 May), it highlights 363 SARS-CoV-2 positive cases from 8,916 PCR tests, explicitly circling the 4.1% positivity rate and the 3 reporting laboratories.
