American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I’ve said it before but news outlets worry a lot about looking biased and not enough about looking phony.

This is going to make trying these people harder. We still have to try them.
DHS stopped automatically archiving officials’ text messages.
Now to save messages — as law requires— officials gotta…

One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.

My ears were glued to Wesley Morris and Kelefa Sanneh on the nice-ification of music criticism. This is a thing I think about a lot lately with TV criticism, although the reasons/dynamics are different. Maybe inside baseball, but you follow a critic on social media! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zerX...
