You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.

They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.

They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today we have 735 new design patents, a new mayor of NYC, and a group of spineless senators. I'm going to celebrate the first two, starting with D1101354, issued for an inflatable costume.

If you're going to do something today, at least be fabulous.

Outside of my normal posts, but we bought an 80's modern house to restore & I'm still in shock the difference 2 1/2 hours and a lot of elbow grease makes. And that someone thought painting this was better, but at least they left it for us to restore.
