RFK Jr wants to eliminate costly drains on our health system: sickly, chronically ill people like…JFK.

“It is textual. Perfect representational society.”

In a Harris presidency we would all be very familiar with Judge Matthew Kaczmarek, who would be striking down abortion access, LGBTQ rights, and school loan forgiveness from his federal bench in the Northern District of Texas, and every Republican would be nodding and saying “Yes, that is fair.”

Centennial Anniversary of the PS 3 Building By Carlton E. Wynter Jr. As many might know, the PS 3 building was constructed in 1905 by the Board of Education specifically as a public school. The architect was not a faceless bureaucrat, but a well-respected designer of public education buildings. C. B. J. Snyder was the first Superintendent of School Buildings for the Board of Education. At the turn of the century, public education was undergoing a period of great physical expansion. This mirrored changing views of the role of public education, which was now seen as a means to bind the society, integrate rising numbers of immigrants into the American culture, and respond sensitively to the needs of the young. Snyder embodied all of these concerns, and had been working on school design for almost twenty years when he designed PS 3.

Snyder created many other New York schools, most famous of which is the old Stuyvesant High School on 15th Street. He introduced a number of design innovations. Most famous is the H-design, in which "two wings contained classrooms facing interior courts, while the center bar held a stack of flexible classrooms with walls which could be rolled back to provide a continuous open space for assemblies and games." (Stuyvesant has this design, but the small PS 3 site precluded it.) Large double-hung windows for classroom light became another of his trademarks, and are a feature PS 3 parents still appreciate. Snyder's early inner-city schools had a forbidding, castle-like appearance. By the late 1890s he was using a more domestic, sloped roof design, perhaps reflecting an increasingly humanitarian attitude toward the poor. But this did not allow for roof playgrounds. Finally, Snyder combined the two styles by using a flat roof with false fronts to give a sloped-roof appearance while still permitting a roof playground. That is the arrangement we have at PS 3, although there is no evidence yet of a playground ever having been constructed on the roof. In fact, plans show that there were originally large skylights on the roof letting light into the fifth floor.

I grew up in the city and never knew the answer. Just looked up my local PS 3 history and found this:

“Amity Shlaes” is a witch burnin’ name.

The fact that De Zerbi could bring Spence and Bergvall in on 76’ was insane compared to what they had on the bench last year. Despite all the injuries, they’ve had the players to expect results.

Jared Kushner's Real-Estate Firm Sought Money Directly From Qatar Government Weeks Before Blockade Jared Kushner's firm made a direct pitch to Qatar’s minister of finance in April 2017 in an attempt to secure investment in a critically distressed asset.

US diplomacy and military are just Trump-Kushner business leverage. Two failsons who couldn’t succeed with every advantage they’d been given were handed the ultimate “deal-maker”: the world can’t say no to the U.S.

But now that’s what the world is learning to do.

Qatar blockade: Tillerson was left in dark as Kushner met with Saudis Former US secretary of state tells lawmakers Trump's son-in-law conducted diplomacy on his own

In 2017, Tillerson didn't know why the Saudis were blockading Qatar, but Jared (who’d been looking for a bailout for 666 5th Ave) was deeply involved. Qatar/Brookfield gave Jared $1.2 billion, and a Brookfield subsidiary got a contract to build reactors in KSA.

Weapons-grade chemical carfentanil surges as dangerous substitute for fentanyl Carfentanil has experienced a drastic resurgence across the U.S., causing hundreds of unsuspecting drug users to overdose.

Booker has a lot of thoughts about how voters and other Democrats have failed, but he has made plenty of accommodations to Trump’s GOP.

Perhaps he should model some of this 100% commitment to opposition that he demands from others.

Oh dude this administration isn’t about governing in the reality; it’s about investing on the narrative.

I’d add Serena Williams to that list. There was a time when Venus was the prodigy and the hype was “She’s got a younger sister who’s better.” To actually be that, and more, was extraordinary.

I didn’t care for the extent of Xavi’s goal celebration. It’s been a hard season and it was a cathartic moment, but standing on the wall and posing is for the end of a game, not when there’s 20 minutes left and you’re about to cramp into irrelevance.

It was a “they’ve forgotten how to win” moment.

It’s really ok to not create some narrative that he was a good guy who has changed.

He had a very traumatic childhood, engaged in self-destructive behaviors, then decided to inflict trauma on everyone else.

Heroin, sociopathic infidelity, and conspiracy theories instead of therapy.

Everyone is saying “flesh eating bacteria is great, really cleans out the impurities” but wait—we’ve discovered a possible problem.

“I’m an ‘issue-based independent.’”

“Do you have a basic comprehension of issues?”

“I do not.”

“So you’re more of a ‘polite racist.’”

I’d love an estimate of just the lawsuits—what we’ve paid in ones his administration has filed (from “exonerate the J6rs” to “give me $10 billion”) to what we’re paying to fight/stop/reverse executive orders and injuries from ICE.
