This Instagram page was pretty ludicrous, but also hasn’t been updated since May. I would be interested to know about the choices made here — to aggregate the paper’s existing Harris coverage with all these marketing-type photos, and then stop.
It frankly looks like the actually-existing Harris puff magazine from the LA Times for sale at supermarket checkstands. And that is a business that magazines have been in for some time (Obama and Trump had them) but I don’t think I’d seen one from a newspaper before.
Anyway the whole thing reads as very “business side” to me, but editorial should have said no.
The LAT Kamala “magazine” is even listed as produced by Meredith Corp. m.barnesandnoble.com/w/los-angeles-…

I just want to say I appreciate all of you who have been privately sending me suggestions about what points to make about Europe’s inferior home appliances and generally low standard of living. I have been keeping notes.
By the way, have Europeans even heard of the concept of homes with swimming pools?
Just kidding, Europe is too rainy and cold for swimming pools.

A message from a person who does not have a clothes dryer: Image
There’s a reason 86% of American homes contain a dryer. Dryers are awesome. (If your country of residence is productive enough to afford them.)
Do you know what else is great? Ice cubes. Does your home have a machine that makes ice cubes? You probably don’t live in Europe.

so much cope
Of course also the ceilings in Europe are low, so you’re going to keep hitting your face with the clothes.
And some Europeans want to change the subject, “but single payer.” Okay, then why aren’t you like Canada, which has single payer and modern household appliances?

This is the adorable thing about Europe, all these little countries that are like “look at me, I have pretty high GDP per capita,” and then nobody actually owns a machine that makes clothing dry. It’s so cute!
And then Europeans are like, “well if you only put four pounds of clothes in the machine, and run it on ‘extra dry,’ they’ll only need a little time on the clothesline.”
By the way it also rains a lot in Europe, quite rainy

Masks hide expressions and inhibit interaction. They make exercise hard. Enforcing mandates is a burden on govt and business. And mandates embolden busybodies. Mask mandates were a bridge to much more effective vaccines we now have. Don't bring them back. businessinsider.com/vaccines-work-…
Where people should have to wear masks is not a matter for the "experts." Experts can provide an input -- estimates of how policy affects illness and death. (Alas they've often gotten this wrong.) It's up to us to decide what indefinite rules are worth it. businessinsider.com/vaccines-work-…
And rules that get imposed now *are* indefinite. We awaited vaccines; now, we have them. So what are mask rules supposed to hold over to? Living in an indefinite posture of COVID restriction is not worth it. So we must vaccinate and get back to normal. businessinsider.com/vaccines-work-…

Had Chilean sea bass with beurre blanc for dinner tonight and frankly ‘90s food is underrated.
Flashbacks to Kinkead’s. Although I guess it would have been potato crusted there.
Realizing I need to do a “‘90s” theme dinner this fall, but I need to get some PVC pipe sections so I can stack the food as vertically as possible.
