Rick Steves could have easily stayed apolitical in an effort to sell more books and tours. But I love that he hasn’t. Far more people in this country should be following his example
Germany had its own January 6-style attempt at a coup. It also failed. But Hitler was sent to jail.

Lots of fun stuff in this week's episode: best practices on iguana butchery and preparation, Georgian feasting, and the delightful Little Guys of Tasmania. Also some journalism chat and whatnot, but it's mostly (literal) escapist stuff. defector.com/a-big-world-...

it is wild that Labour is doing exactly what the reactionary centrists recommend and is absolutely destroying its base of support as a result, and yet reactionary centrists in the US are just utterly silent about the complete failure of their program.

So excited to share my brand new project. I’m back out in the world talking to people. Like United Shades of America but in shorter bursts and with more hope. This one is “WHO’S WITH ME AT THE FOOD BANK?”

Neat, the writers found a way to tie together the flight delay plot line with the anti-vaxxer plot line
“Travelers and anyone else who was at the airport’s terminals A and B between 8:50 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday may have been exposed to the highly contagious disease, according to a news release from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health”
Philadelphia airport passengers may have been exposed to measles, health officials warn

I couldn’t see the northern lights tonight because it’s cloudy. And also my hotel room windows don’t face north. And also I’m in Cancun.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
