When Mark Twain coined the term Gilded Age, he was mocking the Golden Age. He ripped into the greed, corruption, and extreme inequality of post-Civil War era. Gilding referred to applying a thin layer of gold foil over cheap material. Any wonder why it’s Don the Con’s favorite period in US history?

Heat pump running this morning. Time to go looking for the sweater and slippers. In a few weeks I will be used to this temperature change but this morning I feel chilled to the bone.

I had a high school sociology teacher who used colored dot stickers to express reaction to an essay. Green, yellow and red. I sometimes got TWO red dots.

Who could have predicted in 1945 that red ball caps would one day take the place of swastikas.

Flying is officially on course to account for *almost all* the UK's carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Heathrow expansion alone would cause more carbon emissions by 2054 than *any other sector of the economy*. So why is it being contemplated? My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The expansion of Heathrow would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the world. Burnham needs to block it | George Monbiot
A third runway would fly in the face of reason. If we are to prioritise human life over short-term ‘growth’, we need to use planes less, not more, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Georgia’s election board asked the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate a leading nonpartisan voter roll maintenance program, potentially adding yet another probe based on hyper-partisan conspiracy theories to the department’s portfolio. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Georgia’s GOP-controlled election board wants DOJ to investigate nonpartisan voter roll maintenance program
Despite his request for a federal investigation into ERIC, the board's executive director appeared to know very little about the organization during a meeting earlier this week.
