Wow, it's a real scorcher out there!

Guess what? Every summer, for the rest of our lives, is going to be the hottest summer its ever been. Eventually, most of the winter will be spent trying to figure out how to survive summer. And then, some day, we won't.

@JabbaNoBadda @tribelaw Exactly.

@drvolts I remember when Joe Biden had the national stage 14 days after January 6th publicly declaring it was peaceful. “Unbroken tradition of a peaceful transfer of power,” he lied

@xkcd Oh I know this one! It’s survivorship bias

George Santos has been expelled. If they can do this to a college volleyball star, world famous Brazilian journalist, successful NYC financier and noted producer of the Spider Man musical, what hope is there for we mere mortals?

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

It's official: A soft landing.

These criteria were both pre-specified, and viewed at the time as improbable.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

There's been about a million think pieces asking "why are people so miserable about the economy," but I'm yet to see one grapple with the fact that folks are spending as if they're actually pretty optimistic about their economic futures.

Massive credit to Biden for this: when someone's student loans get cancelled, he's sending them an email saying "I DID THAT, IT WAS ME." Obama would never

@NYCMayor He certainly was consequential for Cambodia

“Children may experience difficulties with attention, concentration, memory, and problem-solving abilities after contracting COVID-19. These symptoms can impact academic performance and overall quality of life.”

Mounting evidence for multiple long term issues for kids - immune deficits, cognition….

Yet certain paediatric practitioners continue to double down with their entrenched pathological minimiser biases at the expense of the long term welfare of kids and the whole community…….🤷🏻‍♂️

Watched ‘The Marvels’ with my kids. When I was growing up, only the baddies mentioned Allah or Islam onscreen. Now we get to see good guys praying to Allah, doing duas, speaking in Urdu. Representation matters. Treating Muslims as just normal folks matters. Thanks @MarvelStudios.

@RadishHarmers This is a perfect joke

[Andreas Duus Pape @dr_duus]

@JasGregory @tribelaw Exactly. Hard to believe this was the intent.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news during this holiday season, but the 14th Amendment will not stop Trump from coming down the chimney. The legal reasoning is good, but no judge is going to have the courage to do it.

The best part: The headline assures us that this is bad for Biden.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

An absolutely bonkers example of the bad-news bias (and a failure to take Econ 101) in econ reporting: The @WSJ observes that the price of metals used in electric vehicles are crashing, and somehow infers that it will create shortages and snarl adoption of EV's.

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

If the Guardian is the only paper to front page this then I can’t see how we can make it. People with influence need to urgently call out the Mail and The Sun and their suppression of the climate change reality - or the public will never demand what’s necessary. This situation is madness.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Republicans are once again perfectly fine with using courts to target political enemies I see.

[Brian Beutler @brianbeutler]

Yet another reason it would’ve been nice if House Dems in 2021-22, and Senate Dems in 2023 had taken any interest in exposing the Kushner-Trump foreign bribe machine. Instead they shrugged as Rs falsely convinced half the country the Bidens are the REAL global corruption family.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

More of this please…
Political ads that speaks to the real-life base that makes democracy happen.

Well done.
