I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

I'm reading an article about high school and thinking for the first time in decades about high schools having "guidance counselors." Isn't "guidance counselors" redundant? Is there a kind of counsel that doesn't guide?

ICE has denied it made an arrest at a school bus stop, but confirmed it made 118 arrests in Connecticut that week.

This Nextdoor alert showed up in my email. I guess I don't exactly have the right to be _offended_ by the question "Where do you go for the best Asian food" in Cambridge, but it does seem bafflingly pointless. Isn't this like asking what restaurant serves the best “meat”?
Under the Nextdoor logo in a digest email is part of a question: "Where do you go for the best Asian food around Cambridge? Chinese, Thai …" and then it trails off with a link to click to "see more," which I did not.

I've been watching "E.R.," which I mostly missed when it was on broadcast television. I'm midseries at "A Walk in the Woods," Season 7, Episode 14, and let me tell you, when this aired Feb. 15, 2001, measles was a shocking diagnosis. Twenty-five years ago, It may as well have been ebola.
Jing-Mei Chen is shocked at a diagnosis: “Nobody's seen measles.”John Carter barks out an order about the school where there's been one case of measles: "Call the school. Don't let anybody leave!"Jing-Mei Chen tells the idiot parent who did her own research and decided against vaccines for her children: “One in 500 kids die from measles.”

Just watched a guy in Davis Square litter after walking like 6 feet past a trash can. I mean, fair enough, it hardly seems reasonable to ask someone to think a few feet ahead, turn back or hang onto something long enough to put it in a trash can right across the street in the direction he's going.

1/2 A wild explanation by a U.S. attorney about why he sucks at taking on a case of terrorism ordered by eBay against journalists. “Linkage is missing”? Really? How did eBay know what it was paying for? How were the limits set?
New York Times business article excerpt (doesn’t seem to be online yet):

he could deal with the Steiners "off the radar" She added: "Just get it done. I don't want to know the details."
Two months later, Mr. Wenig wrote to the communications chief, Steve Wymer, about Ina Steiner. "If we are ever going to take her down," he said, "now is the time." Mr.
Wymer later texted Mr. Baugh that Ina Steiner "is a biased troll who needs to get
BURNED DOWN."
This might sound incriminating to a layperson, especially since the harassment operation started shortly after. But Andrew Lelling, the U.S. attorney who handled the criminal case, said it hadn't amounted to much.
"In my experience, executives at companies say things like this all the time," Mr.
Lelling told the filmmakers. "I think what you're seeing is loose talk by the executives at the company. But linkage is missing. Jim Baugh decided the right way to handle the situation is commit a federal crime. Is that something the senior executives could have reasonably expected?"

Not sure if John McWhorter’s been looking at who is unhoused or why when he uses this tired argument. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/o...
New York Times essay excerpt: 

Euphemism can feel so right. We imagine that if we create a new term for something we can get people to think about it differently. Surely more will understand that a "bum" isn't a reprobate if we refer to him as "homeless." I'm just old enough to remember when "homeless" was the new default in the 1980s - it sounded so polite, open-minded. But before long, sentiments associated with "bum" transferred to "homeless." We now have the dismissive slang term "homelessy" So we're supposed to say "unhoused.”
