Whatever evils may be made possible by state subsidy of the news, they are nothing compared to what happens when it lets the news die

I wonder if there was some sort of reason the Founders routed the war power through Congress rather than the whim of one person. Probably not.

If Trump’s people cared enough to hire a top-notch crisis management firm to re-cast what he said in the post, I’m not sure they could have written something better than this

When I was young I would watch groups of ants scurrying about on the playground and make up elaborate stories about their motives, their personal histories, etc. Not sure why I just remembered that

To get to the President's primary channel for public statements, where he declares his intent to commit war crimes, you must first click through a pop-up ad for health misinformation then scroll through past three ads (two for novelty political items, one for a misinformation site).

It would take less than 2 dozen honorable Republicans to stop this tomorrow and prevent an atrocity, but there are not two dozen honorable Republicans.

Until now, I have generally agreed that there are such things as laptop, purchases, and phone purchases. However, it seems I have just initiated a wire for our house’s down payment from my phone, so that may no longer be true

Most photos of Clapper Rails (or rails of any kind really) look like this: Taken extremely quickly before they disappear into the marsh never to be spotted again. I captured this sneaky bird in the marsh south of Bodie Island, OBX! #bird
