It’s wild how the political press does some much writing about peoples’ perceptions while hardly ever acknowledging they’re one of the main drivers of it.
News Analysis: When Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies, the U.S. was confronted with a historical novelty: a felon who once held the highest office in the land. Will the label actually tarnish Trump, as it has so many people over the centuries?
A Mark of Shame for 900 Years. Until Now?www.nytimes.com “Felon” carries an ancient stigma — one that falls on millions of Americans today. Trump might well redefine it.

"Politics would be interesting again" is such a telling phrase, a sign that you're so insulated by money and power that it's all just entertainment for you.

Roberts, overruling Chevron with incredible and unearned hubris: "Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do."

It is very funny how one of the Supreme Court’s big issues is making it impossible to outlaw bribery because they like being bribed

Mental health tip: If you come across an article that starts "We talked to a group of undecided swing-state voters..." immediately close that tab and look at pictures of puppies for a few minutes

uk print media shops aren't workplaces, they're daycare for grabby drunk aristos and freakish strivers who couldn't make it in any other newsroom on the planet. their only job is calling their mums to ask their uncles at the exchequer what's going on with the PM. and they can't sue me for saying so

"Sure, the robber barons were cruel and rapacious, but they ultimately gave away their fortunes to build schools and libraries" kind of falls apart when their great-grandson still has enough generational wealth to give $50M to a literal felon's presidential campaign.

In ruling that bong water is a drug mixture, the Minnesota Supreme Court justices relied, in part, on the testimony of a state patrol officer who claimed that drug users keep bong water “for future use… either drinking it or shooting it in the veins.”

It's pretty disgusting that editorships at major papers are going to UK reactionaries who are dumber than a bag of hammers, can't write their way out of a paper bag, view facts as threats to their ideology, and have the ethics of a hyena. They're taking jobs away from Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens.
