I’m just here man
That another guy Giuliani relied on for anti-Biden dirt has been tagged as a Russian stooge is a good reminder of how effectively Trump neutered questions about Russian interference.

Trump’s most effective inoculation effort centered on Russian influence

New criminal charges in Ukraine targeting someone linked to Rudy Giuliani reinforce the utility of Trump’s blanket rejection of questions about Russia.

We knew this was coming.

Via Tamar Hallerman:

Just in: The #Fulton County DA's office is seeking emergency safeguards after recorded interviews featuring four defendants in the #Trump case were leaked to the media

"The release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case, subjecting them to harassment and threats prior to trial," the DA's office argues.

Here’s a poem called ‘As I Grow Old I Will March Not Shuffle’.

It’s often the case that critics of anarchism will demand to know how we might obtain public goods without the state, because their entire frame of reference for public goods is in the context of state monopolies.

And I might reply that all sorts of public goods predate the state by thousands of years or more. Neolithic peoples were building trackway roads and monumental architecture and all kinds of neat things.

And critics of anarchism will often gleefully seize upon this as if it presents some clever gotcha. They think this means that *the best* we can hope to achieve without the state is a Neolithic-level of technology and cooperation.

And I find that response to be…so immensely sad. They see a dead-end; I see incredible achievements with only the barest of technologies and available knowledge, and can only wonder at the marvels we’d be able to achieve together now.

Why does our national news media refuse to discuss having the morbidly rich pay the same Social Security taxes as the rest of us to save the program?

Why Did NBC Go Along with GOP Lies About Social Security?

What baffles me is why a TV news host who earns $2.9m a year would go to such lengths to avoid even mentioning a solution that’s been signed onto repeatedly by virtually every Democrat for decades?

New IIHS study finds that trucks & SUVs with hoods > 40 inches tall are 45% more likely to kill pedestrians than cars with low hoods.

Vertical/blunt hoods make vehicles even more deadly.

Reminder: NHTSA and USDOT continue to ignore these risks.

Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians

Vehicles with especially tall front ends are most dangerous to pedestrians, but a blunt profile makes medium-height vehicles deadly too.
