I listened to a podcast with Ross Douthat (yeah, I know) last night and the "reasonable" conservative line seems to be "yeah, this is unseemly, but there is no evidence that it influenced his decisions" and

Anyone else's mom forward texts from relatives and family friends regarding this significant diagnosis with the clarification about who it was from AT THE END so it reads:
Path report says [uncurable cancer], meeting with the oncologist tomorrow. This is the message that [Friend] sent
Just me?

Andrew Gillum was found not guilty today.
Enrique Tarrio was found guilty today.

I'm re-reading the transcript from an interview I did a year ago. I had forgotten that the interviewee kept calling me Karen. My name is not Karen.
This was over Zoom. My name was literally on the screen the whole time.

Gentle reminder Ruth Bader Ginsburg isn’t responsible for the GOP’s 50 year assault on women’s rights, voting rights rollbacks, mass shootings, transphobia, antisemitism, January 6th, Merrick Garland’s investigation, covid, Russia invading Ukraine, or HBO turning into Max

It is like hitting the audience over the head with the point.

The reporting on Louisville's shooting On NPR's Up First included:
Louisville is a city but it is still a city where people know each other... these are people who people knew.
