Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Where we stand, in long arc of history:

-Story on left, adding race as a factor when that favors white people.

-Story on right, banning race as a factor when that favors non-whites.

I often complain about NYT headlines and story-play. But these are strong. Including "If Court Guts 1965 Law."

Two headlines on front page of NYT.

First is "Trump Weighs Transforming Refugee Policy. White People Would be Given Preference."

Second is "Justices May Ban Race as a Factor in District Maps. Nation's Political Balance Could Shift If Court Guts 1964 Law."

Some of the quotes in that Wired/Cybertruck story are wild but more should be said about how much the story of that guy who talked about confronting the woman at Whole Foods never, ever happened.

yet another example of how actually saying what’s going on (a unilateral seizure of Congressional power) doesn’t sound “balanced” enough, so view-from-nowhere media can’t tell you what’s happening in plain language

At this month's Repair Cafe, Helen kindly sewed up some moth holes in Barbara's jumper, skillfully making tiny darning stitches with a matching thread so that the repair couldn't be seen.
