A superpower that you can gain as you get older is to take a pause and realize when someone is actually talking about themselves when making statements. Obviously there's the "every accusation is a confession" of republicans, but often there's much more subtle things going on with people around you. Like, someone's cranky about how you've done something? Maybe it's because they're actually cranky about something else, like how *they've* done something.…

Yes, there are some amazing and excellent people at Harvard — and some utter dingbats, as anywhere else — but whatever actual excellence Harvard offers in education or research is secondary. Harvard is a •brand• first and foremost. It’s a name people put on their resumes to make themselves worth more money in capitalism’s eyes.

The only way to truncate that distrust would be to do a real, deep, constitutional reform to prevent a recurrence. Another Biden-like presidency would be a disaster. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a/…

Ugh, what a dumbass. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:f7utvjkqbgwfjonqtpfcf5fu/post/3luiljxdpdc2d
And yet, this is slightly better than "we're going to deport Mamdani".. I think?

I have only subscribed to an online news source when for a few years I supported The Guardian. Then they led the transphobe charge in the UK and I noped out. I have not subscribed to any physical news media with this name nor in this state of residence nor during this millennium.
However, NPR and PBS could certainly provide evidence to snag me in the woke-sweeps.

The Internet has ruined headlines.
It used to be that headlines had names. Now they carefully DO NOT on purpose, because using a generic role description is more likely to get a click-through to see who it is. The problem has bled into ledes as well, which are no longer synopses of stories but rather secondary teasers. You may be a few paragraphs into a story before you can get the information that every Journo 101 teacher would have demanded be in the first 3 lines.

It is important to recognize how horribly *NORMAL* that is.
It's only in the past century or so that humans have had any capacity to fight infection, because we had no idea how it worked until the mid-19thC, even though we had rudimentary Smallpox vaccination (and 'variolation') earlier. We didn't have safe and effective drugs to fight *any* infection until the 20thC and didn't have useful antivirals until the 1990s.
In a sense, we're all spoiled by mode…

Nepo babies can be so stupid about their supposed familial expertise…
The Fed doesn't control long-term (i.e. federally-backed mortgage) rates.Those reflect what the credit market believes inflation will be over the long term and how much return they think they can get elsewhere. Lowering rates before inflation has absorbed the tariff shocks and settled down will increase long-term inflation expectations, raising long rates.

A woman who has carried the name “Sparkle” all the way to the Federal bench is likely to have no difficulty asserting her authority over even Fash litigants. https://federate.social/@mattblaze/115126421803416035
