"After the 6-year-old fired a single bullet from a Taurus 9mm pistol, the teacher he shot, Abigail Zwerner, quickly ushered her other students out of the first-grade classroom."
Honestly still pretty stunned that's a sentence I found myself writing

Sorry, building apartments near a transit stop in an urban area is going to have a negative environmental impacts. (The neighbors think the new residents might be loud.) Better to build detached homes in a wildfire area that's a 90 minute drive from the major job centers instead.

Elon Musk amplifying patently fake Russian propaganda 🤔 No, there are no NATO soldiers in Ukraine, dead or alive, and no, it’s not very likely that an obscure pro-Iranian Turkish website is exceptionally well-sourced in the Israeli Mossad.

My latest: I went to the West Bank to a Palestinian village named Beita and an abortive Israeli settlement called Evyatar. Few have heard of these places, but the outcome of their intimate struggle may define the future of the region. I wrote about why: theatlantic.com/international/

I'll keep repeating this ad nauseum, but here it goes again. GOP members recognize that hurting the economy is the most important thing they can do to bolster GOP chances in 2024. This is a party-wide consensus.

Memphis's skateboarders pushing down Main Street in honor of Tyre Nichols, who was known for his skills at parks here and in Sacramento.
The skating scene here is more scattered than Sac's, skaters say, but they told me they still feel like they lost a part of their family.

In the absence of reliable COVID reporting in China, a simple, smart idea. Count the obituaries for large state institutions where we have enough historical data to provide a background rate.

Important points, both absent in the standard NK model. twitter.com/IvanWerning/st
Non-linearity of the Phillips curve may be related to sectoral asymmetries: very strong demand for goods relative to services, right when supply chain disruptions curtailed manufacturing production.
Quote Tweet
Replying to @IvanWerning and @gchodorowreich
That’s with brush strokes. Two elaborations…
1. Open to non linearity ot of Philips curve contributing on the upside
2, supply moving up to meet demand, so excess supply falling on its own

Other people have made this argument, so it's not really mine, but it is striking the degree to which some of the core critiques that Trump offered of globalization have been made into actual Biden policy.
Quote Tweet
.@chrislhayes: When you look at the general economic vision of the Biden administration, ironically it actually borrows some of the most incoherent, yet genuine complaints that powered Trumpism. Biden and his advisors have managed to turn that into actual, progressive policy.

I live in Orlando. So much of the LGBTQ+ programming in our city has been the result of our communities coming together in the aftermath of the Pulse tragedy. This goes beyond culture war; by targeting our spaces, DeSantis is implying that our sense of belonging should die too

Ron DeSantis has filed a complaint against the Orlando Philharmonic and stripped its liquor license for hosting "A Drag Queen Christmas." They claim it was a felony violation. They are weaponizing the state to eliminate queer existence.

This isn’t the way the Chinese spy on adversaries. To spy is to gather information covertly. This is a low key show of force equivalent to how the Chinese navy will park a ship off the coast of Australia to monitor the country’s biannual Talisman Sabre joint exercise with the US.

The deadly H5N1 bird flu is spreading widely, including to mammals.
For the first time, it's now likely spreading mammal-to-mammal, among minks which are exceptionally well-suited conduits to humans.
We must act now.

This is a funny time capsule, because it was tweeted moments before Biden implemented the most successful gas price stabilization policy in history.
Quote Tweet
Biden had a year to develop a plan on lowering gas prices. He settled on a temporary gas tax holiday which if enacted would almost certainly increase the price of gas, enrich the oil companies, and do nothing about our supply problems. Idiocracy
