Also: “We’ve decided to review our coverage of climate, energy, and policing to ensure more balance”

That this isn't the lead story in every US news outlet this morning is not surprising but is deeply depressing. Real question: what is to be done?
I’m listening to HR McMaster talking, unchallenged, on MSNBC as if he wasn’t the National Security Adviser in the previous administration: “this is what happens when you surrender to terrorists.”
Have you no shame, General?

First time I've watched a speech by a major party (presumptive) nominee in 12 years without hiding behind the sofa watching through my fingers like the Daleks had come on screen when I was 6.
Jesus watching Ireland rocket up in these charts is some scary stuff. And given how much Ireland did right in the first few phases of COVID, it must be maddening to public health authorities. What changed? B117 transmissibility or other factors boosting infections?
FOLKS—if you think
#COVID19
cases is really bad in the US, it is even more epically surging in the UK 🇬🇧 & Ireland 🇮🇪. I made a short video... and highlighted the simultaneous rise in the more contagious b117 variant. Denmark CDC thinks B117 will become dominant strain by Feb. 🧵

As a ND alum, I agree entirely. Only wish I was there to slap that headband off personally. And I hope admissions takes a look first thing Monday to consider any offers to students at that school that might need to be rescinded.
@Timodc
It's almost like 40 years of hollowing out education in history, civics and anything not in Common Core or No Child Left Behind had consequences. Like knowing the 1890s sucked if you weren't named Morgan or Rockefeller.
@MLiebreich
It's amazing. And I'm kind of saddened that the response from the West isn't "cool let's compete, what can we learn from this" it's "those sketchy Chinese must be cheating somehow".

England calling. Well received. Thanks for restoring my Mrs's faith in UK soft power.

Ireland version:
what you said, minus memes. Plus 4 pints after lunch. Then whiskey. Then explain to wife you've been out to pitch the novel.
So. Came out of the men's room at n the BA business lounge here in JFK T7. Fat, white, rich dude with a few glasses in him raises his voice and says "how dare you talk back to me" to a black lady lounge employee trying to clean up his mess. 1/

week for some light relief involving a presidential candidate, a Kennedy, Rosanne, and a dead bear in Central Park. You will never regret watching this gold from

I mean, it's not exactly the Blood Libel but it did occur we might pause before spreading it with a chuckle? And it took me a few hrs before I really thought how bad it could get.
"[Migrant/'other'] neighbour ate my dog" isn't even a new trope. Yet here we are.

Ah well. The guy who rendered him unconscious is going to prison. And the Senator is facing charges for assaulting a minor. So maybe they'll have a nice cry together in the cells.

One of those goobers is wearing a Notre Dame headband. It’d be a shame if
@NotreDame
Admissions got wind of all these guys. Or if the local ND alums were to clarify in person if they’re happy with his fashion choices.

It’s a coup, built on hatred and racism whipped up by millionaires to please billionaires. If they’re not stopped now they will transform this country into their image.

I'd forgotten what it was like to watch a speech without hiding behind the sofa looking through my fingers and waiting for the anvil/banana peel moment.
@Timodc
Hopefully it came down to
@KamalaHarris
deciding he’s a good hang (as a sufficient, beyond necessary, condition). Which actually seems like a good criterion.
@Stonekettle
He might not lose voters if he shoots someone in 5th Ave but will he lose voters if he runs around in a bathrobe during a psychotic episode yelling "they're all gonna die!"?
@joshtpm
Delightfully revealing. The sneering dickishness comes with cleavage shots, and the prospect of telling incels that if you vote for the fash you can have that on tap.
Which might, to the other 95%, seem...weird?

@NotreDame
Right? And presumably they were fresh from the March for Life (based on some tshirts), which obviously filled them with compassion, reverence and piety and in no way geed them up to be obnoxious morons. Quite the field trip to DC.
@IanDunt
Is it though? Or is it making the kind of choices - Stonehenge tunnel vs offshore wind expansion the last lot just couldn’t? It does seem possible some of these projects are white elephants and only the sunk cost fallacy kept them alive, no?

@MollyJongFast
Also he seems confused when he claims “American values” but “your (sic) American taxes”.
Milo’s next act will be to stand near Pennsylvania Ave with an overturned hat with coins and a sign reading, “will self-own for food”.
Moral: if you’re the one w some privilege, DO NOT stand by and do nothing if someone is out of order. I’m glad she felt better. But really I wanted to make him think before he did it again. 10/
@Lollardfish
Yes. And with

inevitably going to get better and into the hands of school admissions and HR people, if you think your kid won’t suffer for your decision to post, you’re delusional. Don’t sell out your kid for cheap click dopamine.
@IanDunt
TBF maybe it was "her" not "they"? ie former civil servant just thought that being attacked every day in the RW loon-o-sphere was pretty taxing? And their comms shop has been just not at the races, which would make me wonder if anyone really had my back.
It's weird -- I saw all of the Indiana Jones movies in theaters and I don't remember any guys yelling that he didn't deserve to be called "Dr. Jones" in any of them.
