In addition, he had no tie to the Americas—to the end of his days, he insisted he had landed in Asia. For him, “the Americas” didn’t exist, and he vigorously disputed the idea that he had "discovered" them.

ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.

I don’t understand how there’s not a 24/7 live cam of the reflecting pool hidden in a tree somewhere so we are unable to escape the constant reminder of what he’s doing to this country. It should be live on the background of news channels at all times.

The press will do stories on Republican sex creeps, but it will never, ever point out -- much less make an ongoing narrative out of -- the fact that the GOP has been *ridden* with sex creeps for decades. You have to be blind not to see the pattern.

You know how people go to Cuba and marvel at the classic cars people still maintain and drive there because they can't get American cars anymore? In 2050, the rest of the world will come here and marvel at the smoke-belching junkers we still drive around, and we'll have done it to ourselves.

Every time I look at this image, it gets worse. The photog tried to "not that deep" it - which is frankly a reason not to hire him, in and of itself. If your image literacy is that low, why give you the job?

For years I've been trying to tell my Jewish peers that conflating Judaism and support for the Isreali state is going to bite us (well, them, but me by proxy) in the ass. On this Day of Atonement, I hope we'll reconsider the path that led so many of us to overlook the death of so many children.

There are so many practical things the city council could get done, if they wanted to listen . The city's "Audit by mail" tax process, for one. You could have so many less enraged business owners if you just has one-stop-shop for all notices to the same recipient. Instead? Kafka-esque.

Macklemore is a human Rorschach test of our culture. Sometimes the general consensus decides he's cringe, performative and woke, and other times he's an earnest guy trying to do what's right with the spotlight he's been given. But it's the same guy, doing the same thing, the whole time.
