I saw this sentence in an article about Texas politics. “Republicans are scrambling to understand what went wrong.” I’m almost certain I’ve seen this sentence before, but I’ve also got a feeling this will become a trademarked slogan. The lesson they learned was “Be More Horrible.”

Light Reading
Two weeks ago, before heading to Japan on vacation, an engineer I work with asked for reading recommendations, instantly elevating him in my estimation.

Why does he hate America? www.foxnews.com/sports/trump...

Trump says America should change football's name so soccer can have it: 'It really doesn't make sense'
FIFA awarded President Donald Trump its inaugural Peace Prize, and Trump suggested soccer should be called football and the NFL should be renamed during the World Cup.

Authoritarians want us to censor ourselves before they even ask. That’s “complying in advance.” Improv has a better rule: Yes/And. Yes: this is real. And: we won’t stop speaking, creating, resisting. Turns out “Yes/And” is more punk than silence. #improv

In Hong Kong they plopped traffic cones on top of tear gas canisters, and poured water through the opening to extinguish them. Wet towels did the same job. Umbrellas are everywhere in Hong Kong and were used used for countering rubber bullets and shielding the firefighters who dealt with the gas.

The AP reminds us that on this day in 2023, “In 2023, a jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million in damages.” Too bad we got worn out hearing about “stolen elections” over the last four years.
