In other news I think I just used the Pythagorean Theorem for the first time in my adult life to solve a real world problem. Appreciate the congrats.

I do a lot of hand tool woodworking. Or I did until a couple years ago and then I recently got a chance to set up a new workshop so this is a caddy for bench dogs like these and other wooden jigs. Image
I’ve been spending off time recently building out this tool wall. Chisels and planes are under the bench. ImageImage
The logic and organization is pretty haphazard for now. I'm just setting up the holders as I go for the tools I use the most. Once I get everything in place I'd put more thought into where things go. Perhaps redo a few of them. The marking gauge and square holder was rushed.
The nice thing about this french cleat system is everything is movable. Even the big saw till on the right slide across the eight feet of wall more or less effortlessly.

I tend to think in terms of analogues to movies, tv shows, novels to understand the present. There’s something about Trump right now - it’s an analogue to something but I can’t quite place it. Vaguely tragic, mostly ridiculous, but above all just stupid. A sick old man ...
2/ possibly about to get very sick, doing some great dictator antics while obviously struggling to breath. Seemingly in the midst of a manic episode brought on by medication, helped forward by his army of cronies and toadies and sycophants. What movie is it?
3/ For idiosyncratic reasons it is reminiscent to me of some themes in Blake Edwards SOB. But I can’t think past the squalid, terrified, soul dying image of an obviously ill man recording videos claiming he hasn’t felt better in decades. Is it the emperor has no clothes?

A variety circumstantial evidence suggests the real possibility that President Trump was the superspreader at the Barrett announcement event. He travelled last Thursday and Friday with RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel. But "earlier this week" she was experiencing COVID symptoms.
2/ That makes likely she was already infected when she traveled with the President and possibly infectious. To the best of my knowledge this is the only example of a line into the White House cluster. Of course, it's quite possible there are others. But the timelines would ...
3/ line up quite well with a McDaniel to Trump to GOP VIPSs scenario. Of course others in the Presidential entourage also were on that trip. It could be one of them. Or it cld be a number of people who got it from McDaniel and then attended the Saturday event.

Seeing people pointing out that Kellyanne was talking to this or that person at what looks like the spread event on Saturday. Folks are missing the logic here. It looks like she and other likely **contracted** covid there. If that’s true, she’s not contagious.
2/ Covid is just making first contact with her body at that point. There’s likely one or two people there who gave it to everybody. We might not ever know what that was. Now this of course assuming that the Barrett nomination event is the spreader event and we don’t know that.
3/ But there’s growing circumstantial evidence that it was. And that’s how to think about it if that’s the case. Other point. We have a lot of evidence that covid doesn’t spread well outdoors. There were receptions inside the White House tied to event. We’ve seen a few ...

This is that situation where the White House's total lack of credibility, especially about health matters comes back to haunt not only the White House but the whole country. I don't know the details. But it doesn't seem implausible to me that ... talkingpointsmemo.com/live-blog/trum… via @TPM
2/ you'd want to relocate the President to Walter Reed even if his case remains mild. His obese and in his 70s. A whole apparatus of the executive branch is focused on preserving the life and health of the President. Why not have every possible contingency at the ready?
3/ But is it worse? Maybe much worse? We truly have no idea. The White House has zero credibility and even the President's military doctors have no credibility. It's a bad situation not just in terms of the President's health but in terms of the uncertainty it creates for ...

Not sure i cld see all the relevant info in the Parscale body cam video. But it did seem like he had emerged from house unarmed and in a non belligerent posture and was venting abt his wife to the officer who’d coaxed him out and then four of five other officers burst on ...
2/ to the scene and tackle him pretty aggressively. Didn’t seem like he was really injured in any real way. But it certainly seemed like hyper aggressive posture that probably wasn’t merited by the situation.
3/I base this on what seems to be a non threatening demeanor and seemingly having no weapon and no real easy place to conceal one in his person.

It’s worth understanding what is behind these kinds of opeds. They make perfect sense for a tenure review committee, or perhaps a think tank appointment. But they capture the worst of a century and a half of professionalization of the law and ... bloomberg.com/amp/opinion/ar…
2/ the professionalization of the elite legal academy. Barrett may be a brilliant mind - many who know her say so and I take their word for it. She may be a kind person. But these opeds manage a near total indifference or willed obliviousness to the fact that as ...
3/ constituted today the choices of a Supreme Court nominee have a profound effect on the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans, often interpose themselves into the legislative process on facially absurd grounds ( basically all the ACA court cases).
