The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.

The reason Trump enjoys the phrase “back to the Stone Age” is that, like a prehistoric man, he tends to cave.

Astronauts Dedicate Moon Crater to Carroll Wiseman, Wife of NASA Commander

I didn't know anything about the Artemis II astronauts a week ago and now I would fight my way into Hell for any of them.

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

Shortly after 2 p.m. EDT, the crew described two small, unnamed craters on the heavily pockmarked lunar surface. Calling down to Earth, they suggested provisional names for them. Just northwest of Orientale basin, highlighted above, is a crater they would like to name Integrity after their spacecraft and this historic mission. Just northeast of the Integrity crater, on the near and far side boundary, and sometimes visible from Earth, the crew suggested an unnamed crater be designated Carroll in honor of Reid Weisman’s late wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman, who passed away on May 17, 2020. After this mission is complete, the crater name proposals will be formally submitted to the International Astronomical Union, an organization that governs the naming of celestial bodies and their surface features.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

I mean Iran is obviously a terrible actor, but there is no denying the deliciousness of this.

Church attendance report pulled after YouGov finds 'fraudulent' responses The original report claimed a rise in young people attending church in England and Wales.

Very happy to see this on the BBC. Last April headlines far and wide parroted the Bible Society uncritically. We've uncovered the truth. All hard evidence points to religious decline, not 'revival'. And, as of yesterday, the Bible Society pulled its report.

If Kamala Harris does win, that’s a big argument to reduce the US campaigning season to three months. Bad for consultants who make a fortune out of a never-ending election. Good news for everyone else who is slowly driven insane.

Top headline: "In Interviews, Kamala Harris Continues to Bob and Weave. Her media swing showed how she often responds to uncomfortable questions by acknowledging them, yet not fully answering them."

Second headline: "In remarks about migrants, Donald Trump invoked his long-held fascination with genes and genetics."

This headline stack is one for the time capsule. First, analyzing Harris's message discipline, which is common to normie politicians, as if it's uniquely revealing and shifty. Second, framing Trump's openly racist, completely dishonest stump rhetoric as if it's quirky and full of subtle meaning.
