I found some very specific instructions on how to download the exact fonts, set the size / line spacing, etc. so that once PDF’ed a Word doc looks (almost) exactly like LaTeX.

(IMO the headings are a little off.)

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

True story: I had a field experiment that was just racking up brutal desk rejects from various political science journals so I used the formatting to make a Word doc look like LaTeX and it got accepted on my next try.

I figure the reviewers assumed a dude wrote it.

I just want everyone to know that I’ve pre-emptively decided that if at some point I can no longer bring myself to engage with news and current events, I’m going to just convert this to an A’ja-Bam stan account.

It’s really important that this story is in People magazine. It’s really important that this representation of ICE violence against a clergy person is in a very “mainstream” outlet that reaches people who may not consume political media.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A small group of federal agents in camouflage and face masks watched from atop the immigration processing center Thursday night as a unicorn, peacock, dinosaur and raccoon danced to Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

UPDATE: The new Prime Minister that Macron just named is... Sebastien Lecornu.

Lecornu is the Prime Minister who Macron appointed in September, and who resigned on Monday because he couldn't form a government.

I don't know what to tell you—situation has been risible for a year.
