Le Pen's far right set for big win in first round of French election : worldnews - Highest voter turnout since 1997:
Macron's folly - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Well, the initial projections (generally accurate in French elections) are in. I said when it happened that I had no idea what upside there was to Macron calling a snap election, and I would say that it is not looking any more rational today: The National Rally party won a crushing victory in the first round of voting for the French National Assembly, according to early projections, bringing its long-taboo brand of nationalist and anti-immigrant politics to the threshold of power for the first time ... Turnout was very high, reflecting the importance accorded by voters to the snap election, at over 65 percent, compared to 47.51 percent in the first round of the last parliamentary election in 2022.

Supreme Court Upends Hundreds of Capitol Riot Cases ... In a ruling that will have implications for one of Donald Trump's criminal cases, the high court ruled that the feds must narrow their use of obstruction charges ... by ruling Friday that the feds need to narrow their usage of the charge of obstructing an official proceeding. In a 6-3 ruling, the justices significantly weakened the statute under which more than 330 rioters had been charged. Trump has also been charged with obstruction in his criminal case in Washington, D.C., related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.

About that thing that happened - Lawyers, Guns & Money - (1) It's important for the sake of sanity not to lose sight of how completely insane all this is. Choosing a president on the basis of last night’s fake debate format is like choosing whether or not to replace the guy who has been a mostly excellent quarterback for the last three and a half seasons on the basis of a hot dog eating contest. Donald Trump is good at lying nonstop on TV,
June 27, 2024 - by Heather Cox Richardson Heather Cox Richardson ... and by far the most striking thing about the debate was the overwhelming focus among pundits immediately afterward about Biden's appearance and soft, hoarse voice as he rattled off statistics and events. Virtually unmentioned was the fact that Trump lied and rambled incoherently, ignored questions to say whatever he wanted; refused to acknowledge the events of January 6, 2021; and refused to commit to accepting the result of the 2024 presidential election, finally saying he would accept it only if it met his standards for fairness ... In contrast, Trump came out strong but faded and became less coherent over time. His entire performance was either lies or rambling non-sequiturs. He lied so incessantly throughout the evening that it took CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale almost three minutes, speaking quickly, to get through the list. ... Of far more lasting importance than this one night is the clear evidence that stage performance has trumped substance in political coverage in our era. Nine years after Trump launched his first campaign, the media continues to let him call the shots.

A disaster on every level - Lawyers, Guns & Money - The obvious disproportionality of Israel's war on Gaza is not something that should be "left aside" — it's a sufficient argument to end the war now. But as Robert Pape explains, it’s also worth pointing out that the war is also a failure on any terms other than "brutality for its own sake." Hamas is if anything more entrenched in power than it was on October 8, and Israel's diplomatic situation is getting worse by the day: Since Hamas's horrific attack last October, Israel has invaded northern and southern Gaza with approximately 40,000 combat troops, forcibly displaced 80 percent of the population, killed over 37,000 people, dropped at least 70,000 tons of bombs on the territory (surpassing the combined weight of bombs dropped on London, Dresden, and Hamburg in all of World War II), destroyed or damaged over half of all buildings in Gaza, and limited the territory's access to water, food, and electricity, leaving the entire population on the brink of famine ... in part because the "brutality for its own sake" part seems the primary goal for much of Israel's governing coalition.

Chatbots use large language models, or LLMs, that consume vast amounts of text from the internet and can be used for various tasks, including generating text by predicting the next word in a sentence. The bots find patterns through trial and error, and human feedback is then used to fine-tune the model. But there's a drawback: Chatbots cannot think like humans and do not understand what they say.

They Made It a Religion and It Failed Us | by Jon Canas | Medium Christianity is not a creation of Jesus ... A major dogmatic cleansing followed with the burning of heretic texts and, sometimes, of their authors and even their churches ... Through its twisted and challenged evolution, some of the most important aspects of the teachings of Jesus were repressed from the beginning. Hebrews started the repression. The Roman Catholic Church expanded it. And by and large Protestants followed ... Unfortunately, by and large, priests, pastors and their superiors have been programmed by beliefs that belong to another era. That conditioning makes them ill-prepared to be spiritual guides in today’s environment.
The Church Repressed Critical Teachings of Jesus | by Jon Canas | Medium
Did Jesus Really Say These Awful Things? | by Jon Canas | Backyard Church | May, 2024 | Medium ... It is clear that as newer versions of the Bible were created, using, to some extent, the original Bible in common Latin and then translated into modern European languages, the church had no intent in softening the punishment narrative ... One reason was the role played by Saint Augustine, a bishop and theologian from Cartage (Tunisia) in the late 5th century. His pessimistic view of humanity demanded strong punishments ... Sadly, much of the religious lives of many followers - both consciously and unconsciously - are driven by fear and not by love, as I believe was truly shown and taught by Jesus ... Instead, Christianity has clung to the idea that the allegorical Satan is both real and in opposition to God.

The 32-year-old man, shot six hours after being paroled, obligingly pulls up his shirt so she can examine the massive discolored bruise that is developing where the bullet lodged after missing his spine ... The former Malden, Mass., police officer, who traded a uniform and walking shoes for scrubs and sneakers years ago, has an unusual resume in this world of inner-city trauma care ... She has shot more than 750 photos of tattoos, and hundreds more of unusual wounds to help her understand how they're inflicted and how they heal. She is certainly single-handedly developing a new field of what you call clinical forensic medicine.

Heatwave in New England sets in with dangerous temps this week Temperatures will reach into the 80s Monday, but it will remain comfortable ...

Use them on your forehead or place them on your inner wrists for a cooling effect.

Denmark Made Home Buying Easier. America Should Follow Its Lead. - Business Insider One simple change to mortgage rules could supercharge homebuying in America ... Many homeowners in Denmark, like their American counterparts, enjoy 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. But thanks to a quirk of their housing-finance system, Danish sellers are able to earn a profit when they trade in their low mortgage rates for more-expensive ones, making it easier to move even when rates rise. As a result, the Danes dodge the lock-in effect entirely ... As the Federal Reserve began pushing up borrowing rates in the spring of 2022, hoping to reel in rising inflation, mortgage rates went vertical. Rates doubled in less than a year, with the typical rate nearing 8% in October, a 20-year high. Rates have fallen a little since then, but they're still hovering at about 7% ... what all those extra payments would be worth in today's dollars, it'd be like taking $60,000 and lighting it on fire, according to the FHFA's calculations.

Living a lie - Lawyers, Guns & Money Trump is blasting the jury's verdict as the product of a "rigged" trial and a "corrupt" judge, which is par for the course with him ... What Donald Trump requires of his supporters, and most especially of his supporters in the Republican political establishment, is that they live a lie. That lie is to claim that Trump is something other than what he so obviously is, which is the most corrupt and most unworthy of office major politician in the history of this country ... If conservatives were to face up to what Trump is, and to what his takeover of the Republican party signifies, they would have to also face up to the fact that their entire ideology — indeed their very sense of self - is nothing but a gigantic lie. Naturally they aren't going to do that until circumstances force them to do so. So until then, they will go on lying to themselves about what they, their party, and their country, has become.
Will the Trump verdict matter? - Lawyers, Guns & Money I should say that my inclination is to agree with Erik that Trump being found guilty on all counts will probably not materially affect the 2024 presidential election.

barryvm comments on At Texas GOP convention, Republicans call for spiritual warfare
User barryvm explains what "spiritual warfare" actually means : bestof ... As someone who grew up in a evangelical church this is pretty much spot on. Everytime a pastor or speaker would talk about "spiritual warfare" it was ALWAYS referencing the "demonic evil forces" that "caused" things such as abortion, homosexuality, secular thinking, evolution, and more. They always presented these subjects as "demons are fighting a SPIRITUAL BATTLE against us Christians by trying to influence us with their SPIRITUAL ATTACKS! ... TL;DR: "Spiritual warfare" is just jesus-speak code for "culture war". Some actually believe its a literal spiritual magic battle, but most use it as an easy way to push their bigoted beliefs with the cloak of righteousness.

Eschaton: Vibes From an electoral perspective, "the president appearing to have his wallet stolen regularly by a country smaller (population) than Sweden" isn't a great look ... I mean, even if you approve of what's going on there, our guy getting pantsed daily isn't how it's supposed to be for The United States Of Fucking America. Big loser energy .. Netanyahu has said no to all of it.

The Biden administration fears Israel is disastrously squandering its opportunity for victory against Hamas, losing its best chance to eliminate the group' s hold on Gaza and threat to the Israeli people ... Of course if they really believed this was genuinely an effort by Israel to get rid of Hamas, instead of murdering or expelling as many Palestinians as they could get away with before the US stopped them, then Biden's people are dumber than I imagine!

'Grave Mistake': Yellen Under Fire for Opposing Global Billionaires Tax | "To reject the very idea of a global minimum tax on billionaires is to cede control of our economies and our democracies to oligarchs and plutocrats," warned one progressive critic over the U.S. Treasury Secretary's position. : politics ... Oxfam International calculated earlier this year that a 5% wealth tax targeting multimillionaires and billionaires in G20 countries could raise around $1.5 trillion a year in revenue globally. Such funds, the group said, would be "enough to end global hunger, help low- and middle-income countries adapt to climate change, and bring the world back on track to meeting the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)—and still leave more than $546 billion to invest in inequality-busting public services and climate action in G20 countries."

Regression symptoms in patients with Down syndrome were identified as early as 1946, but the condition was often misdiagnosed as either early-onset Alzheimer's disease or late-onset autism ... Down syndrome regression disorder, or DSRD. Though its prevalence is difficult to measure, DSRD is believed to affect between 1 to 5 percent of people with Down syndrome ... Many believe a better understanding of Down syndrome, which occurs in approximately 1 in 800 births and is caused by an extra chromosome 21, could lead to advances in our overall understanding of cancer, autoimmune conditions and longevity. Remarkably, people with Down syndrome rarely develop hypertension as they age and almost never develop most solid tumor cancers. But they are far more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease earlier in life. About 30 percent of people with Down syndrome develop dementia in their 50s.

Trump Did October 7th - by John Ganz - Unpopular Front - Things Can Always Get Worse ... I don't like to hazard predictions, but if experience is any guide, I strongly believe a right-wing Israeli government, under the chaos of a second Trump administration, would attempt to go forward with annexation and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and God knows what permanent "solution" for Gaza. And I believe the chain reaction that would set off could very likely lead to World War III. We've already seen how bad things can get after just four years of Trump. What about eight? Or more!

The Kids Are Alright - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... Pritchett was the sheriff in Albany, Georgia who shut down the town's integration campaign in 1962 through peacefully arresting everyone, giving the media nothing to talk about, and taking their easily bored attention away from the movement. King realized what happened and so specifically chose Birmingham in 1963 because he knew that Connor was too stupid and violent to do that. It worked. King walked into Birmingham specifically to incite violence. Think of this too - King and Ralph Abernathy and Fred Shuttlesworth and all these leaders planned the children's march in Birmingham specifically knowing that kids would likely die and that only the blood of children would gain the national attention necessary to push for what became the Civil Rights Act. This was a sacrifice they were willing and even perhaps eager to make ... The administrations could have handled this in the peaceful way, such as happened at Brown. But with university presidents totally under the thumb of right-wing rich donors, they decided to do the Bull Connor thing and make it all worse. Great job! ... I don't know, it seems to me that a quasi-fascist ethno-nationalist government supported engaging in ethnic cleansing if not genocide and killing tens of thousands of people seems to be a problem worth responding to, especially when Joe Biden supports it! ... What we should be doing is supporting students in their activism, not whining that they aren't doing it in our preferred way. I have no preferred way. Because what do I know about what is the right way? There's no historical evidence that suggests there is a right way. So stop whining about the protests and do something.
Those crazy spoiled college kids: an infinite series - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... Friend of the blog Michael Hiltzik points to among other things the similarities between what's going on now on college campuses and what was happening 60 years ago in California, when the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley inadvertently jump-started the political career of a largely forgotten B-movie actor: ... Some university leaders may be trying to demonstrate a strong hand in managing their campuses, but the message they communicate is the opposite. "They look weak, they look mostly like they are appeasing hostile outsiders who have no intention of being appeased," Timothy Burke, a professor of history at Swarthmore College, has written.
A Generation of Distrust | The New Yorker Among the protesters on college campuses - and among the students who oppose them, too - there is a deepening disillusionment with American institutions.
Column: Calling the police on campus protests shows that college presidents haven't learned a thing since the 1960s ... The lessons should be obvious. Bringing police onto a college campus on the pretext of preserving or restoring "order" invariably makes things worse. It's almost always inspired not by conditions on campus, but by partisan pressure on university administrators to act. Often it results in the ouster of the university presidents who condoned the police incursions, and sometimes even in the departure of the politicians whose fingerprints were on the orders.
Decades after Kent State shooting, the tragic legacy shapes its activism - The Washington Post The university where 13 student protesters were killed or injured during the Vietnam War era worries that other schools have learned nothing from its history.

Illiberal America - Lawyers, Guns & Money -- I appreciated the great historian Stephen Hahn's essay today on illiberal America. The short version is that this nation has long been deeply reactionary and in some ways, it's amazing we've gone this far without the kind of challenge to the sheer structure of American democracy as we had until Trump. An excerpt of this history: ... Few Progressives of the early 20th century had much trouble with this. Segregation seemed a modern way to choreograph "race relations," and disfranchisement resonated with their disenchantment with popular politics, whether it was powered by Black voters in the South or European immigrants in the North. Many Progressives were devotees of eugenics and other forms of social engineering, and they generally favored overseas imperialism;
Opinion | The Deep, Tangled Roots of American Illiberalism - The New York Times - By Steven Hahn - The federal government soon allowed former Confederates and their white supporters to return to power, destroy Black political activism and, accompanied by lynchings (expressing the “will” of white communities), build the edifice of Jim Crow: segregation, political disfranchisement and a harsh labor regime. Already previewed in the pre-Civil War North, Jim Crow received the imprimatur of the Supreme Court and the administration of Woodrow Wilson ... Most worrisome, the Ku Klux Klan, energized by anti-Catholicism and antisemitism as well as anti-Black racism, marched brazenly in cities great and small. The Klan became a mass movement and wielded significant political power; it was crucial, for example, to the enforcement of Prohibition. Once the organization unraveled in the late 1920s, many Klansmen and women found their way to new fascist groups and the radical right more generally.
Pontecorvo's Colonel Mathieu: the paratrooper who embodied France | openDemocracy
Opinion | How Prohibition Fueled the Klan - The New York Times Today, as we find ourselves in the midst of another fight over immigration, it is worth revisiting the role that nativism played in driving, and later enforcing, Prohibition. The consequences of that battle reverberated for decades to come. It sparked a vast expansion of the repressive capacities of the federal government and a rise of right-wing extremism, led by a revived Ku Klux Klan. It also forged a new political coalition that would bring ethnic working-class voters into the Democratic Party, where they would remain for much of the century.

You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

Leading counterintelligence officials issued a memo to all of the CIA's global stations saying that a concerning number of U.S. informants were being captured and executed. Announcing the specific number of killings is rare as that figure is typically held under wraps from the public and even from some CIA employees, the Times noted ... A Mission Impossible plot. The NOC List (Non-Official Cover List) is a list of undercover spies that we don't want leaked or sold or blabbed to other governments. It's being disseminated from the Oval Office. I swear i could remember a report where he specifically wanted the FBI/NSA/CIA to make a huge listing of all their assets. They came back saying that would be a bad idea ... he said he didn't care, he knows best and then the deaths started. Probably around the time ol' Bone-Saw MBS was bragging about having Jared Kushner "in his pocket". Wouldn't surprise me at all if some of that information was passed to MBS, who then passed it along to Putin and who knows who else. Trump gave info to the Russians directly, in person. No need to use intermediaries for that.

"We are devolving into a democracy, because congressmen and senators are elected by the same pool," was how one GOP delegate put it to the convention. "We do not want to be a democracy." The resolution sums up: "We ... oppose legislation which makes our nation more democratic in nature."
Survivors rejoice as Ohio lawmakers vote to make it illegal to drug, rape spouse : politics ... Twenty years ago, Ohio outlawed "forcible" spousal rape -- but lawmakers left in a provision that says purposely impairing your spouse's mental state with alcohol or drugs or waiting until they are unconscious to assault them is legal. Other than drugging and then raping, a spouse can "have sex" with their partner if the victim is substantially impaired because of a mental or physical condition - or due to advanced age. Also, a spouse can "have sex" with their child bride, as the law doesn't count sex with a kid less than 13 years old as rape. (O-hi-O) ... Canada had similar wording until the 1980s. The logic being (a century or more before that when these laws were written) was that marriage was ultimate consent. Society's thinking has evolved.

Opinion | We Are Blowing the Fight to Contain Bird Flu - The New York Times - This May Be Our Last Chance to Halt Bird Flu in Humans and We Are Blowing It ... The outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza among U.S. dairy cows, first reported on March 25, has now spread to at least 33 herds in eight states. On Wednesday, genetic evidence of the virus turned up in commercially available milk. Federal authorities say the milk supply is safe, but this latest development raises troubling questions about how widespread the outbreak really is ... In April 2020, the Trump administration ousted Dr. Bright from his position as the director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, the agency responsible for fighting emerging pandemics. In a whistle-blower complaint, he alleged this happened after his early warnings against the coronavirus pandemic were ignored and as retaliation for his caution against unproven treatments favored by Donald Trump.
Opinion | H5N1 Bird Flu is Causing Alarm. Here's Why We Must Act. - The New York Times - Bird flu - known more formally as avian influenza - has long hovered on the horizons of scientists' fears. This pathogen, especially the H5N1 strain, hasn't often infected humans, but when it has, 56 percent of those known to have contracted it have died. Its inability to spread easily, if at all, from one person to another has kept it from causing a pandemic.

Biden and Democrats initially rejected GOP demands to include border security in a foreign aid package. But eventually they backed down and struck a deal with McConnell's designee, Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., who called it "by far the most conservative border security bill in four decades." ... Trump pressured Republicans to kill the bill anyway, saying on social media that "we need a Strong, Powerful, and essentially 'PERFECT' Border and, unless we get that, we are better off not making a Deal." ...In a separate post, he wrote: "I do not think we should do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING needed to shut down the INVASION of Millions & Millions of people, many from parts unknown, into our once great, the soon to be great again, Country!" ... Murphy said in an interview. "We got Ukraine done. And we improved our position dramatically on the issue that we were most vulnerable on in the election: immigration."

Climate Change in Europe - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Climate change is horrible enough in the United States. Summers in New England are so much hotter than they used to be, as we turn into Virginia, Virginia turns into Miami, and Miami disappears into the ocean. But it's one thing to have humid, gross summers. It's another to have be next to the Sahara Desert, not to mention the warm ocean currents that traditionally made Europe habitatable. So in Europe, climate change is worse than every other part of the world, in a place where the infrastructure in uniquely incapable of handling it because of the old buildings that trap heat and a lack of central air. Thus, deaths from heat are skyrocketing ... Europe is heating up about twice as quickly as the Earth as a whole, and that heat is killing large numbers of people during the summer months, according to a new report by European climate experts ... That's the kind of weather that can kill people if they don't have access to air conditioning. The final death toll from the heat wave is still being calculated, but is almost certainly in the tens of thousands, researchers say. One study estimated there were upwards of 60,000 people died prematurely because of the July 2023 heat wave ... Europe's rapid warming is being driven by a trio of factors. The continent is close to the Arctic, which is the fastest-warming region on Earth. It is also naturally situated near warm ocean and atmospheric currents - that's why London's winters are so much more temperate than Chicago's, even though London is farther north.

Senate passes foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan | AP News ... The bill passed the Senate on an overwhelming 79-18 vote late Tuesday after the House had approved the package Saturday. Biden, who worked with congressional leaders to win support, said in a statement immediately after passage that he will sign it Wednesday and start the process of sending weapons to Ukraine, which has been struggling to hold its front lines against Russia ... The legislation would also send $26 billion in wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza, and $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific. U.S. officials said about $1 billion of the aid could be on its way shortly, with the bulk following in coming weeks.

1968/2024 Vietnam/Gaza - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... The point of this thread is to explore the analogy between student protests against the United States government prosecution of the Vietnam War in 1968, and those against the Israeli government prosecution of the invasion of Gaza in 2024. The most obvious analogy is that a Democratic president who has carried out an extremely successful progressive political agenda at home may see his re-election hopes dashed by a foreign policy disaster, in no small part because of the political knock-on effects of university protests, and in particular the public perception of those protests, and the way university officials deal with them ... I'm writing this in the context of the situation at Columbia, where classes this week have gone remote, in the wake of the uproar over student protests, and the university's handling of them. (Relatedly, at least 40 student protesters were arrested at Yale this morning) ... one major difference that could be easily overlooked, which is that in 1968 less than 10% of the adult population had a four-year college degree, while that percentage has nearly quadrupled in the 56 years since. In other words, the social meaning of being a college student has shifted drastically in the post-WWII era, when college education has gone from a generally elite experience to a middle class rite of passage (this shift was underway in the late 1960s but was still in its early stages. One remnant of that earlier time is the obsession in the right wing and centrist media with elite colleges and universities, that functionally speaking somewhat replicate and preserve the pre-1960s cultural meaning of the concept of college). It would be a historical tragedy of the first order if Joe Biden's in my view anachronistic loyalty to the old Zionist vision is a or perhaps even the factor at the margin that leads to the re-election of Donald Trump. But this is clearly a possibility.
Opinion | Gaza Is Biden's War Now - The New York Times - What Happened to the Joe Biden I Knew? ... Gaza has become the albatross around Biden's neck. It is his war, not just Benjamin Netanyahu's. It will be part of his legacy, an element of his obituary, a blot on his campaign - and it could get worse if Gaza cascades into a full-blown famine or violent anarchy, or if a wider war breaks out involving Iran or Lebanon. An Israeli strike on a military base in central Iran early Friday underscored the danger of a bigger and more damaging conflict that could draw in the United States ... In January, the Israeli military dropped a bomb on a compound in Gaza used by the International Rescue Committee, a much-respected American aid organization that is supported in part by American tax dollars. The International Rescue Committee says that the near-fatal strike was caused by a 1,000-pound American-made bomb, dropped from an American-made F-16 fighter jet. And when an American-made aircraft drops an American-made bomb on an American aid group in an American-supported war, how can that not come back to Biden? ... President Biden is preternaturally supportive of Israel. It's in his DNA. Martin Indyk, who was twice ambassador to Israel, agrees. "You know the line about him being an old-style Zionist?" Indyk asked. "That’s the heart of it." ... Reports were already coming in of catastrophic starvation in Gaza, yet the Biden administration effectively blocked this alternative by watering it down to nothing, according to people close to the negotiations. The upshot: Children starved to death ... Another way of putting it: The more than 1,000 children in Gaza who are now amputees, their suffering is partly on us. ... So far the war in Gaza has, according to authorities there, killed roughly 34,000 people, including about 13,800 children. The toll includes some 484 health workers, 100 journalists and 200 aid workers. The war has also damaged or destroyed up to 57 percent of the territory's buildings
No appeasement goes unpunished - Lawyers, Guns & Money -- Minouche Shafik not only completely rolled over for Congress at hearings, she literally called the police to arrest peaceful protestors while also evicting them.

Overreacting to Campus Protests - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... The thing that strikes me about the last couple of days is that, like in the 1960s, university administrations are massively overreacting to campus protests and in doing so, making them far worse. Criminalizing protest at Columbia and Yale is going to do one thing, which is lead to more protests ... It might not have felt that the campus protests of the mid-60s were that important either at the moment. They also came out of nowhere. Of course, in California, they also led to that state's population electing Ronald Reagan governor. Like you are seeing from cynical actors such as Elise Stefanik, far-right forces are more than ready to take advantage of legitimate protest for their own ends. In conclusion, we live in interesting times.

On Criminalizing Homelessness - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... It's pretty clear the conservatives on the Court are going to let localities do whatever they want to the homeless. I'm not surprised. It fits their psychotic form of governance. It does seem to me though that one part of the solution needs to be that if we are going to effectively criminalize homelessness, we also need to criminalize actions that force people into homelessness ... I don't see how criminalizing homelessness is going to solve the problems. Fining the homeless is ridiculous on the face of it. But like a lot of issues, we are talking about a complex set of problems where no one really wants to wade into the complexity because to do so would be to knock them off their talking points, and that's across the political spectrum.

Strivers' Row | History - Strivers' Row
St. Nicholas Historic District - Wikipedia David H. King Jr., the developer of what came to be called "Striver's Row", had previously been responsible for building the 1870 Equitable Building,[6] the 1889 New York Times Building, the version of Madison Square Garden designed by Stanford White, and the Statue of Liberty's base ... King sold very few houses and the development failed, with Equitable Life Assurance Society, which had financed the project, foreclosing on almost all the units in 1895, during an economic depression.[3] By this time, Harlem was being abandoned by white New Yorkers, yet the company would not sell the King houses to blacks, and so they sat empty until 1919-20, when they were finally made available to African Americans[3] for $8,000 each. Some of the units were turned into rooming houses, but generally they attracted both leaders of the black community and upwardly-mobile professionals, or "strivers", who gave the district its colloquial name.[3]

Eschaton: I Suppose The Harvard Bureau Of The NYT Needs To File Regularly
Eschaton: Oh No Elmo He's desperately trying to loot Tesla before it implodes, and it's pretty likely he'll succeed.But even by Tesla standards, this year has been unruly. Its stock has slid more than 40% amid slumping sales, confusing product decisions and more price cuts.ll the while, the board has tried to revive a $56 billion payout to Musk that a judge voided in January, on the grounds that directors had acted as "supine servants" to the CEO. On Tuesday, Tesla is expected to report a 40% plunge in operating profit and its first revenue decline in four years. Musk has ordered up the company's biggest layoffs ever and staked its future on a next-generation, self-driving vehicle concept called the robotaxi - Ah, yes, that idea has just been "kicking around." Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company should have robotaxis on the roads in 2020. Also, this is genius business brain. The actual number of people ushered out may exceed 20,000, according to people familiar with the company's planning. Musk's reasoning, according to one person with direct knowledge of his edicts, was that Tesla should reduce headcount by 20% because its vehicle deliveries dropped by that amount from the fourth quarter to the first quarter. I think this is claiming it's "learning" now instead of just reacting, which is what Tesla fanboys believed for years.

Terry Anderson, RIP - Lawyers, Guns & Money -- I am struck, on the death of Terry Anderson, at how the American hostages held in Lebanon was a story in the 1980s that was at least as equal in the American imagination as bombing Libya or all the crimes the government was committing in Nicaragua. This was like a daily thing on the news and really at least to a reasonable extent until Anderson was released. Then it sort of disappeared from our consciousness. I would say far more people talk about Nicaragua these days when they think about 80s international issues than about the hostages. And if they are talking hostages, it’s of course the ones in Iran, understandably.
Terry Anderson, Reporter Held Hostage for Six Years, Dies at 76 - The New York Times The Beirut bureau chief for The Associated Press, he was kidnapped in 1985 by Islamic militants ... He sued Iran for $100 million in damages in a federal court and eventually collected about $26 million from Iranian assets in the United States that had been frozen by the government. His windfall lasted about seven years; he filed for bankruptcy in 2009. (3.7 million/year, gave to charities) ...

Erik Visits an American Grave, Part 1,608 - Lawyers, Guns & Money - This is the grave of Samuel Lanham - Born in 1846 in South Carolina, Lanham grew up in the world of owning humans, which as a young man he was happy to defend and commit treason for. His family was alright economically, but not super duper wealthy. He just went to the common schools, for instance. Not sure how many slaves they owned, probably “just” a couple. He volunteered for the Confederate Army immediately upon secession, even though he was only 15 years old. They took him too. He spent much of the war in Virginia and somehow did not die. He was wounded at Spotsylvania Court House, though I am not sure as to what severity ... But on other issues, he really was a good progressive reformer. For example, unlike the current spate of Republican southern legislators, he led a fight against child labor in his state. He signed laws limiting the hours railroad workers could labor in a day. He pushed for a constitutional amendment to allow the state to charter its own banking system, which voters approved. He pushed for new taxes on railroads and other corporations. He also pushed for election reform. Texas politics were, shockingly I know, incredibly corrupt and bribery was a real problem in nominating processes.

The regulations update also enhances protections for students, employees, and applicants against discrimination "based on pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy, lactation, related medical conditions, or recovery from these conditions.

This is part of the mechanism that makes it so hard for abused spouses to leave their abusers, to the point where victims of spousal abuse will defend their abusers and fight to stay with them.

This "biological tribalism" - which was once an essential survival mechanism - is now the root cause of most of humanity's ills.

Haidt is issuing a cri de coeur to parents, legislators, social media czars and schools to take courage and collective action: Raise the age of internet access to 16 and facilitate age verification; require social-media companies (Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, X) to keep youngsters away from dangerous sites; make all schools phone-free by fall; make in-person play a priority.

Yellen says global concerns growing over China's excess industrial capacity : worldnews - They started out with basic, simple, and cheap trinkets and gradually climbed the value-added ladder. They are now doing a final push into the top of the industrial value chain: cars, ships, planes, and chips. But last year the had to accept the end of the real estate boom. That means all the people directly and indirectly involved in building and selling but also steel, cement and furniture industries basically collapsing. Some estimate this to be 20% of China's economy. They hope the advanced industry will replace the 20% but that is unlikely. Other countries producing these complex but profitable goods aren't going to allow it. However, they will probably dominate the market in the rest of the world ... Essentially, China is much more focused on the interests of consumers and strategic advantage, and less interested in whether investors make a profit. Therefore it can build things at scale and without having to worry about the greed and desires of corporates and investors.

At present count, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 33,000 Palestinians, the majority being women and children, have been killed in the territory ... The AI tool's name?

During the early stages of the war, the army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavender’s kill lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on which they were based ... This was despite knowing that the system makes what are regarded as ‘errors’ in approximately 10 percent of cases, and is known to occasionally mark individuals who have merely a loose connection to militant groups, or no connection at all ... Widespread concerns about Israel's targeting strategies and methods have been voiced throughout the course of the war ... Lavender, observed Adil Haque, an expert on international law at Rutgers University, is "the nightmare of every international humanitarian lawyer come to life."

A maximum of 60,000 Palestinians could return under a proposal deemed acceptable by Israel, but they would mostly exclude men between the ages of 18 and 50.
Eschaton: Things We Knew Almost From The Beginning : Netanyahu wasn't concerned with the hostages; if anything, he thought they were an obstacle. This was no war against Hamas, it was a deliberate destruction of as much of Gaza and its inhabitants as possible with the intention of expelling them all, if possible. This was always going to end, at some point, with much the same resolution other than the scale of destruction and body count ...

Between the wars, and in the aftermath of his own daughter's death by Spanish Flu, Freud hypothesized an instinctual drive: an inherent, even biological, impulse to die in one's "own fashion." In so doing, Freud established, in an act of anti-Darwinian blasphemy, a primal conflict in every organism (and society) between the life instinct, Eros, the drive toward pleasure, unity, mastery, and self-preservation; and the death instinct, Thanatos, the drive toward destruction, disunity, death, and the numbing of passion.

Increased brain size could also help explain why the incidence of dementia is decreasing, as bigger brains offer a buffer against “late-life effects” of brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's ... And while 7 million Americans live with brain diseases like Alzheimer's, the incidences of those diseases overall have decreased by 20 percent since the 1970s ...

Reinforcing the synergy between Netanyahu and the GOP, House Speaker Mike Johnson warned in a post on X, "The President's ultimatums should be going to Hamas, not Israel." ... Netanyahu is many things, most of them appalling, but he's not stupid, and it makes perfect sense for him to want Republicans to win -- which is going to make constraining him even more difficult.
A very popular plan that cant be achieved ... This analysis seems depressingly accurate: Several experts told CNN that Israel was facing an impossible situation because the goal it has set for itself -- eliminating Hamas -- is both unachievable and very popular domestically.

Opinion | As religion fades in America, Trumpism rises - The Washington Post - Authoritarian Populism Fascism ... Even more striking, of those White voters who attend religious services once a month or more, 71 percent voted for Trump in the 2020 election. (Even similarly religious Black Americans, by contrast, voted for Joe Biden by a 9 to 1 ratio.) The key to understanding Trump's coalition is the intensity of his support among White people who are and who claim to be devout Christians. (who worship Satan) ... he United States was long an outlier among advanced industrial countries in that it remained religious. But around the 1990s that began to change, and the numbers plunged after 2007. As the scholar Ronald Inglehart has shown, since that year, religious decline in America has been the greatest of any country of the 49 surveyed. By one measure, the United States today is the 12th-least-religious country on Earth. In 1990, according to the General Social Survey, less than 10 percent of Americans had no religious affiliation. Today it's around 30 percent.

The $100,000 a year college - Lawyers, Guns & Money t was only a matter of time before a college would have the nerve to quote its cost of attendance at nearly $100,000 a year. This spring, we're catching our first glimpse of it. One letter to a newly admitted Vanderbilt University engineering student showed an all-in price -- room, board, personal expenses, a high-octane laptop - of $98,426. A student making three trips home to Los Angeles or London from the Nashville campus during the year could hit six figures ... Whether this can survive the Court, who knows - they did, after all, hold that the authority explicitly granted by Congress to "waive or modify" student loans did not entail the power to modify student loans. But there's no point in capitulating preemptively.

The Miseducation of Kara Swisher | Edward Ongweso Jr. -- The long and short of it is that Swisher is not a good journalist - - or, framed more generously, that she thrived in an industry with remarkably low standards for which we are still paying the price. For decades, tech journalism and criticism has primarily consisted of glowing gadget reviews, laudatory profiles, and reprinted press releases, all of it colored by Silicon Valley's self-aggrandizing vision of itself as a laboratory of a brighter future ... Swisher's intended audience is not you or me, but instead those with power: she writes about and for them. Over the course of a long and storied career closely reporting on the tech industry and its titans, she has aped their motions, sat at their dinner tables, drunk their wine, gone to their weird parties, played with their baubles, repeated their lies, and offered them counsel. Swisher may style herself as Silicon Valley's critic laureate, but she's much closer to the court fool.

A new possible explanation for the Hubble tension | ScienceDaily ... However, there has recently been an observation that could explain this. According to this, the Earth is located in a region of space where there is relatively little matter -- comparable to an air bubble in a cake. The density of matter is higher around the bubble. Gravitational forces emanate from this surrounding matter, which pull the galaxies in the bubble towards the edges of the cavity

4.8-magnitude earthquake shakes New Jersey, New York City - The Washington Post ... The earthquake -- of a stronger magnitude than is usually seen on the East Coast -- hit at 10:23 a.m. Eastern time.

The true Covid death toll - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... The bottom line here is that the global death toll from Covid is almost certainly (95% confidence interval) somewhere between two and a half and five times greater than the official number of Covid deaths. There are about seven million of the latter, while excess death statistics indicate somewhere between 18.5 million and 35.2 million people have actually died as a result of the pandemic to this point. Note that in this respect the United States does very well, with an excess death rate that’s only 20% higher than the official Covid death toll (Official toll: 1.17 million; excess deaths around 1.4 million). This isn’t surprising, in the sense that rich countries with advanced public health systems are likely to see much less of a gap between official Covid deaths and actual deaths. On the other hand, relative poverty plus authoritarianism produces very much the opposite effect:

Since Robin once accused me of twisting his words in this regard, I will reproduce the whole quote: ...

Is There Really Hope for Judas? - Crisis Magazine My fear is that just as the Devil used Judas to thwart the Savior, Judas is now being similarly used to revise the traditional doctrine of salvation, particularly in its teaching about divine mercy ... These last few Maundy Thursdays, my feed has been populated by various musings presenting Judas as a pitiable figure who may not be in hell after all. I thought it rather diabolical that a day of sympathy for our Lord is now turning into a day of sympathy for His betrayer. But as I considered this transformation or, rather, deformation, I saw that sympathy for Judas is about far more. It is about the redefinition of divine mercy.

How ultra-Orthodox conscription could destroy Benjamin Netanyahu - Vox -- At midnight Israel time on April 1, the government will hit a deadline for changing its policy on the military draft. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will then be required to send conscription notices to roughly 66,000 ultra-Orthodox men, who had been previously exempted by a law carving out special privileges for students at religious academies, or yeshivot -- Netanyahu depends on ultra-Orthodox parties for his parliamentary majority; if he permits mass conscription of yeshiva students, they'll abandon him. But if he gives the ultra-Orthodox what they want, he'll run afoul of key members of his own right-wing Likud party, potentially prompting their defections.

Our school district just eliminated an elementary school and restructured the other four due to the exploding ultra orthodox population. We're estimating we've got 5-10 years left before we have to move as the Hasidic community seeks to take over the school board so they can divert all the taxpayer money to busing their kids to the private yeshivas that are popping up everywhere in private homes. They already did this in East Ramapo.
Religion and Welfare Shape Economics for the Hasidim - The New York Times ... At least one-third of the estimated 7,000 Hasidic families in Williamsburg receive public assistance, according to neighborhood leaders ... And they have large families: the average household has eight children, neighborhood leaders say. Hasidic parents commonly say that large families are the most satisfying realization of their religion, which tells them to be fruitful and multiply ... The focus on religious studies results in children ending secular education at age 13, curtailing job skills. ... They have 6, 10 children, no computer skills ... But the Hasidim in Williamsburg have a unique, sophisticated and highly efficient capacity to generate documents that support eligibility for public assistance that do not always reflect reality.
In Hasidic Enclaves, Failing Yeshivas Flush With Public Money - The New York Times ... The Hasidic Jewish community has long operated one of New York's largest private schools on its own terms, resisting any outside scrutiny of how its students are faring. But in 2019, the school, the Central United Talmudical Academy, agreed to give state standardized tests in reading and math to more than 1,000 students. Every one of them failed. ... The result, a New York Times investigation has found, is that generations of children have been systematically denied a basic education, trapping many of them in a cycle of joblessness and dependency ... Segregated by gender, the Hasidic system fails most starkly in its more than 100 schools for boys ... The schools appear to be operating in violation of state laws that guarantee children an adequate education. Even so, The Times found, the Hasidic boys' schools have found ways of tapping into enormous sums of government money, collecting more than $1 billion in the past four years alone. The review provided a rare look inside a group of schools that is keeping some 50,000 boys from learning a broad array of secular subjects ... Now a nursing school graduate, Mr. Pape said he believes his Hasidic education was designed to keep him from leaving the community ... There are about 200,000 Hasidic Jews in New York, making up roughly 10 percent of the state's Jewish population
NYC school officials say yeshivas run by Hasidic community fail to teach students in core subjects | AP News Published 3:32 PM EDT, July 1, 2023 : Eighteen private Jewish schools run by New York City's politically powerful Hasidic community deprived thousands of students the required secular education in English, math, science and social studies that they need to function successfully outside their religious enclaves, according to findings from an eight-year investigation by New York City school officials

Judas and the economics of betrayal ... But on a more positive note, plenty of research suggests that acts of betrayal are rare. Most humans can be trusted it seems, not because they are genuinely good, but because it is in their interests to be trustworthy ... The apocryphal Gospel of Judas for example, casts Judas as an Easter hero, without whom there would be no Christianity. And in his short story Three Versions of Judas, the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges suggests that the disciple's act was a vital part of a divine plan, which he carried out despite realising that in doing so he would become history's ultimate villain. From that perspective, perhaps the kiss of Judas could come to be seen not as an act of betrayal but as the ultimate act of selfless cooperation.

US Census changes how it categorizes people by race and ethnicity ... Under the revisions, questions about race and ethnicity that previously were asked separately on forms will be combined into a single question. That will give respondents the option to pick multiple categories at the same time, such as "Black," "American Indian" and "Hispanic." A Middle Eastern and North African category will be added to the choices available for questions about race and ethnicity. People descended from places such as Lebanon, Iran, Egypt and Syria had been encouraged to identify as white, but now will have the option of identifying themselves in the new group. Results from the 2020 census, which asked respondents to elaborate on their backgrounds, suggest that 3.5 million residents identify as Middle Eastern and North African.

What is the meaning of Easter? - Carlos Sandoval The feast day of Easter was first a pagan holiday of renewal and rebirth. Honored in the early spring, it praised the pagan goddess of fertility and spring known as 'Ostara', 'Eastre' or 'Eostre'. The word "Easter" finds its etymology from the goddess's name. The Germanic folk, known as the Teutons, worshiped pagan gods and goddesses and it's believed that the origin of the Easter Bunny, hares and eggs can be dated back to the 13th century in Germany. Due to its prolific breeding tendencies, the rabbit became a symbol for Eostra. Eggs on the other hand were used as fertility symbols since antiquity. Originating among German Lutherans, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide. As a result, the Easter Bunny would come, just as Santa Claus would, bearing baskets filled with candy, chocolate, colored eggs, and such for the children.

Putin's Other War: Domestic Violence, Traditional Values, and Masculinity in Modern Russia ... The Battle For Traditional Values ... To many in the Church and politics alike, re-criminalizing domestic violence would run against these values. In the Russian Orthodox tradition, the family is a 'small church,' meaning that state interference in family matters like domestic violence would be tantamount to restricting religious rights. Some religious leaders, like Dimitry Smirnov, a Russian Orthodox archbishop, also worry that laws criminalizing domestic violence would break up the family unit, leaving Russian children to be adopted by "homosexuals." ... Putin's strategy to divert Russian attention away from corruption and towards morality has been incredibly successful ... Putin's use of masculinity, a subset of these traditional values, models a dangerous and violent type of masculinity to a receptive Russian male audience ... As Russia staggers into its 22nd year of the Putin regime, understanding why Putin has power is vital to understanding how he could be unseated, or, more immediately, how to avoid further destruction of women's rights within Russia.

Fani Willis ruling in Donald Trump case outrages MAGA : politics
The sleazefest in Atlanta - Lawyers, Guns & Money WAPO has a grimly hilarious expose of Fani Willis's and Nathan Wade's excellent adventure ... One way to see how wildly improper Willis's conduct has been is to simply reverse the genders of the power couple at the center of this mess ... The point of the gender reversal is that the notion that Wade was paying for those trips, as opposed to the unwitting public, is made momentarily plausible by the cultural norm that the man pays for these sorts of shenanigans. By contrast, if the woman is "paying," it becomes instantly obvious who is really paying for this stuff ... There's now going to be no trial before the election, which is probably for the best, since Willis's and Wade's conduct has probably made it impossible to convict Trump in any event.

But he's not, so he won't.

For her and Fairbanks both and really for most, though not all, of the silent film stars, the talkies were a disaster ... She and Fairbanks divorced in 1936.

In this trope, the indigenous people never have thoughts, feelings, or complexities. They are strictly there to frame the problems with white society. The hippies and counterculture did this all the time too, so it’s hardly surprising that it would be picked up on in a very successful ad ... The other problem is that IRON EYES CODY IS ITALIAN!!!

A great Yass and the Hair Club For Growth: how Donald Trump learned to stop worrying and love TikTok and Xi Jinping - Lawyers, Guns & Money -- The idea that Trump would be better on Palestinian rights because he wouldn't be "cucked"” by Bibi is extremely dumb because he and Bibi are on the same lawless and bloodthirsty page, but also because he gets "cucked" by foreign leaders on an ongoing and systematic basis. Any modest honorarium will cause the national interest to vanish immediately.

Gender/sex trouble - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... am speaking here of a universal birthright: the freedom of sex. This freedom consists of two principal rights: the right to change one’s biological sex without appealing to gender and the right to assume a gender that is not determined by one's sexual biology ... By asserting the freedom of sex, we may stop relying on the increasingly metaphysical concept of gender identity to justify sex-changing care, as if such care were only permissible when one’s biological sex does not match the serial number engraved on one's soul ... In general, we must rid ourselves of the idea that any necessary relationship exists between sex and gender; this prepares us to claim that the freedom to bring sex and gender into whatever relation one chooses is a basic human right ... ...

This factory kills everything: the red dust of death in Italys under-developed south - Taranto residents separated from giant steelworks by a flimsy net fence tell a story that pits livelihoods against lives lost to cancer, the economy against the environment - Angela Giuffrida in Taranto - For the first few decades, the factory brought prosperity to a city that previously survived on fishing and agriculture. Workers flocked from neighbouring areas or returned home from overseas to take jobs there. At its peak, the plant produced more than 10m tonnes of steel a year, with a workforce of more than 20,000. Pollution from the red-and-white-striped chimneys that loom over the city became an accepted part of life. Some former workers recall blowing black mucus from their nose. Children played with the dust, some finding it on their pillows in the morning when windows were left open in summer. “It was like glitter,” said Ignazio D’Andria, the owner of Mini Bar in Tamburi. "We thought it was a gift from the fairies, when really it was poison."

The Chaos Agents - Lawyers, Guns & Money Derek Thompson talks about what appears to be a newly significant strain in politics in America and around the world: a kind of nihilistic burn it all down attitude, that isn't based on some sort of heighten the contradictions revolutionary logic, or any logic at all: The researchers came up with a term to describe the motivation behind these all-purpose conspiracy mongers. They called it the "need for chaos," which they defined as "a mindset to gain status" by destroying the established order. In their study, nearly a third of respondents demonstrated a need for chaos, Petersen said. And for about 5 percent of voters, old-fashioned party allegiances to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party melted away and were replaced by a desire to see the entire political elite destroyed-even without a plan to build something better in the ashes ... On one level, it really is as simple as that. And a lot of men would rather see the world burn than live in a world with liberated women.

The Supreme Court's unanimous Trump ballot ruling is actually a 5–4 disaster. he court's ultra-accelerated consideration of Anderson sits in sharp contrast with its treatment of Trump's claim of absolute immunity in his criminal trial over Jan. 6, which the justices have, by comparison, slow-walked to the point that it appears unlikely the former president could face trial before November. This disparity alone may provide a clue that there is something other than law afoot in these cases.

Borrell: The era of Western dominance has ended ... The Global South" encompasses very different realities, but it nevertheless raises a real problem. If the current global geopolitical tensions continue to develop in a "West versus the rest" direction, Europe's future risks being bleak. The era of Western dominance has indeed come to a definitive end.

"If we do not help end the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and finally realise the two-state solution, this conflict risks setting the entire region on fire. The consequences for Europe will be profound in many ways: migration, terrorism, internal tensions, an energy crisis, interrupted sea lanes, as we are already seeing in the Red Sea."

Median usual weekly earnings: Wage and Salary Workers - Lawyers, Guns & Money -- If you want to understand the political economy of the New Gilded Age, this chart represents essential data. Note that median wages were essentially unchanged between 1979 and 2017! ($335 and $345 per week respectively, 1982-84 dollars). During this time frame, real per capita GDP almost doubled, going from $32,322 to $60,001 (2017 dollars). This, of course, means that nearly all of the massive productivity gains during these four decades went to capital rather than labor, with the exception of what was siphoned off by employer paid benefits to fund The Best Medical System in the World ... it's worth contemplating what these statistics say about what's happened to the American economy since the first ascendance of modern movement conservatism, with the election of Ronald Reagan and everything that followed.

The truth about illegal immigration and crime - The Washington Post ... There is little evidence that immigrants — or even undocumented immigrants — cause more crime. Still, there is enough ambiguity in the data — or so little hard data — that it’s difficult to point to conclusive findings that would change opinions. ... There is strong evidence that all immigrants — in the United States legally or otherwise — are more law-abiding than native-born American citizens ... Most immigrants are motivated to do well in their new country, especially if they bring skills that can enhance local economies, and so there is little incentive to break the law ... The nature of those crimes is not clear. (The FBI estimates that about 30 percent of the adult U.S. population has a criminal record, such as a felony arrest or conviction, though the figure also includes some misdemeanors.) ... , in Texas, there are significantly lower felony arrest rates among undocumented immigrants compared to legal immigrants.
