RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

An observation I've been thinking about:
Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

I’ve been thinking about how it was ten years ago this week when he came in second in iowa (on 2/1/16) but then won new hampshire (2/9/2016) and all the primaries after that.

But, more importantly, we need to recognize that Trump has brought us to a crossroads where (a) we can continue to stumble forward sucking out the last dying gasps out of our current constitutional regime, or (b) we can choose to reëstablish the United States as a pluralistic, multiracial democracy.

where my milman parryheads at! holla!
Classic scholar Milman Parry (whatever the other problems with his criticism of Homer) even said that it was chosen because it fills a metrical function. His theory was that these things have less to do with moving the story forward and more to do with trying to fit into Homeric hexameter.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.
