The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

When even Mark DiCamillo is calling you a big baby
Stack added that polls conducted online, like the Berkeley IGS/L.A. Times poll,
"systematically [undercount] working-class families, seniors, and non-English speaking communities who regularly turn out on Election Day."
Mark DiCamillo, the director of the Berkeley IGS Poll, defended the methodology, saying he has spent 45 years polling in California and eight years running the Berkeley IGS
Poll.
"What would you expect from a campaign down by double digits? They attack the poll," he said.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

the Trump admin has already bullied some hospitals into ending gender-affirming care for minors, even in states where there's no ban on the books. and they are not content to stop there: now they want patients' records and providers' files and are turning to one federal judge to get them. my story:

NYU Langone used to offer gender-affirming care. Now a district court in Texas is subpoenaing it. What the hell?

🚨 LA's park system has dropped to 93 out of 100 U.S. cities — our worst-ever rankings in the Trust for Public Lands' ParkScore index. Last year we were 90th. The year before that we were 88th. A decade ago, we were 65th. Go here for the disheartening data: www.tpl.org/city/los-ang...
