Yesterday, Robert Reich took on the issue of Elon Musk (and also shared his infantile response.) Also, a couple of things happened that i don’t kow enough yet to discuss – a Jack Smith filing and the exposure of a “Media Corporation” in Tennessee as part of a Russian influence operation (which apparently Elon Musk is involved in, as should surprise no one.).
This post by Dan Froomkin is somewhat like yelling at a cloud. Except that he isn’t old (around his mid-fifties), and this cloud is something that actually exists – journalistic integrity (or more correctly, the absence of it.) But, like a cloud, there will be no one listening – certainly not the big guys, and if perhaps some with less clout do listen, they will likely go unheard by the general public.
Another righteous rant, this time from Heather Cox Richardson. Being a historian, she makes the analogy between MAGA and Confederates during Reconstruction, and, yes, it’s too close for comfort. Calling it a rant is probably an exaggeration, but it struck me that way. There’s also not much we can do about this (always excepting voting Blue) and Heather can’t suggest one, because our ancestors cannot provide an example of a solution they didn’t even try very hard to find.
