I don't think the office will be very busy tomorrow
EnvironmentGeneralGeographyHealthHistoryJournalismLawMilitary policyPoliticsSoftwareTrumpUrban planningUS PoliticsSo in case I don't have a chance to read all of these tonight:
- Did the White House staff put up tacky, gold-colored, signage outside the Oval Office because the OAFPOTUS is a classless tool, or because he's well along the dementia highway?
- Dan Rather puts the blame for declining educational outcomes in the US squarely on the party who has attacked public education for 40 or 50 years now.
- DOGE has officially ended, having accomplished absolutely nothing good, and of course it'll be up to my party to repair all the damage.
- The bottle of hairspray in the Pentagon's A-Ring wants the Defense Department to cut ties with Scouting America, accusing them of attacking "boy-friendly spaces" because they let girls in now. (Seriously. I am not making this up.)
- The DoD is also threatening US Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a retired US Navy captain and former commander of the Space Shuttle, for telling troops not to follow illegal orders. (Kelly noted that he merely repeated the relevant section of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which, of course, the Defense Secretary has probably never read. Also note that, under Article I, section 6 of the Constitution, sitting legislators can't be prosecuted for anything they say in pursuance of their elected duties.)
- The Attorney General of Alaska would like you to know he's tired of progressives in California making it hard for his state to despoil the wilderness.
- Matthew Yglesias has "been covering Larry Summers controversies" for most of his life, and he's pretty tired of it.
- After reading about her a bit, I have concluded that journalist Olivia Nuzzi probably has a cluster-B personality disorder, which Melody Schreiber does not see as an excuse for her elevating the most dangerous quack ever to grace the halls of the Dept of Health and Human Services.
- Bruce Schneier found four examples of "AI...being used to strengthen democracies worldwide," which is heartening.
- Charles Marohn also sees some good coming out of our "Gutenberg moment" where new technologies are exposing corruption and allowing new movements to gain traction.
Well, that seems to be enough for now.
