Just caught up on the USA-Belgium game. Belgium did well, but what an ignoble end to a host nation's ambitions. Having your president fix the rules to help you, then playing without competence, or passion, or commitment. An embarrassment.

Spicy blend. 🫖 Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.
Black and white photo of a shorthaired grey cat peeking out of the open top of a large, chipped enamel tea kettle. The kettle is outside on the ground in the sun, a wooden yard fence visible in the background.

Democrats launch New York counteroffensive following flood of GOP gerrymanders
The effort — dubbed the “New York Democracy Project” — marks a significant shift as Democrats consider using the same aggressive redistricting tactics Republicans are now deploying across the South.

Indeed. A person rushed at POTUS's security perimeter and was stopped there. A person whose plan is to do a one-man charge through POTUS's security perimeter is, ipso facto, irrational. To the extent anything can be done to prevent this, it's universal free healthcare including mental healthcare.

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

I want to say something actionable here because it's my way to see What I Can Do About It regardless of how ugly a situation is. So I'll say that we need to do better by people who come forward about assault, and we can. It takes work, it takes discomfort, it takes commitment, but we can do better.

Hard to believe that in what used to be one of world’s most prestigious newspapers, neither the NYT writers nor editors appear to know what the not-so-obscure acronym NATO stands for. (Hint: it’s *not* the below) BTW, a whopper like this probably would get you fired from a college paper in Ireland.
