The Supreme Court ruling overturning the Chevron doctrine that gave federal agencies leeway to set rules for clean air and water was largely overlooked in the wake of the debate. But it was possibly even more apocalyptic.

Well, now it's up to federal judges to closely examine and decide what to do with "fecal soup."
In other Iowa news, "Fecal Soup" - "Health experts are warning of the possibility of floodwaters containing "fecal soup" after an agriculture-heavy region in Iowa was inundated with an unprecedented amount of precipitation." abcnews.go.com/US/fecal-sou...

I have hated "drilling down" ever since I first heard it some 20 years ago.

The private equity firm sold Red Lobster to a seafood company in 2020 after selling off the real estate. Then the seafood company used them as a way to sell tons of their own shrimp. pluralistic.net/2024/05/23/s...

Latest comic. Too many of our institutions, including some news outlets, have bought into this reactionary inversion of hierarchies in which dominant groups are victims.

The NYT loves to hand-wring about polarization, but I unsubscribed a few years ago because the personality of the paper became smug, condescending, and gratuitously polarizing! "Safe spaces" is ideologically-loaded insult. Any editor should know that in 2024.

Worth noting that this is immediately adjacent to the place the Nazi tiki torch rally happened in 2017. The police did not stage anything like this response to that one, even though the Nazis were beating and pepper spraying people.

In 2016 the dean sent out a welcome letter to incoming freshmen full of ideologically-loaded rhetoric about the University's commitment to freedom of expression. It received a lot of press attention and served as a model for other schools. jensorensen.com/2016/08/30/u...

I've been drawing strips for years about attacks on students' right to protest, yet strangely I've never been invited to give a TED Talk, speak at an "ideas festival," or pen a column for the Atlantic. This is from 2016.
