so...like pretty much everybody nytimes.com/2022/02/18/wor…
obviously this is deadly serious, but it is also morbidly humorous how these descriptions of Putin's mental health describe that of literally everybody rn
Imagine if all the anxious and pissed off people you know had 1M active duty military and nuclear weapons.

1/Hey, I wrote about the San Francisco school board recall. tl;dr it's a lot more complicated, and more local, than a lot of the takes floating around would imply: motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
2/ Whether you're seeped in the SF school board controversies or new to them, I hope this will add some context motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
3/ Is this one of those things you have to say (probably) or an actual fact. 🤔

If anyone is surprised by this, they haven't been talking to parents, a wide multi-racial swath of whom voted to recall.
I though Moliga might survive, but the anger on so many issues that the board engendered swamped them all.

And Boudin should be worried, tho' different coalition pushing for his recall. All incumbents, frankly. @sfbos in particular should pull its head out of ass. It won't.
Every *single* precinct voted to recall Collins, except two, both of which have tiny voting/overall populations (as in 2 votes in one on west side, 12 votes in one in south side).sfchronicle.com/projects/2022/…

quasi obsessed with this logo/bug at NYT. How they took the five rings and made three podiums (blue, red, green), a medal (yellow), and used the black for the "Beijing" slug.
As @ReadyDavidM notes, you can also read this as 2-0-2-2🤯
The five rings represent a 1913 take on the five inhabited continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania*, and the Americas**.

*aka Australia, NZ
**Europeans downgraded us a whole continent. Even though arguably Europe is merely a peninsula of Asia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_s…

Once again, the @sfbos—particularly @AaronPeskin and @conniechansf—is doing everything in its power to ensure we are locked in a permanent state of not enough housing, pushing rents and evictions and homelessness ever higher. Just insane. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/May…
When you insure that no housing developments are built—even when 25% or more of units are affordable—you are not being progressive. You're throwing a can of gasoline on a regional crisis of epic proportions and benefiting the rich most of all.
If you live in Oakland and you wonder why rents there have gone through the roof, look to @sfbos (and all the towns on the peninsula)

1/ Going to be posting some job opportunities over the next few days. First up is a climate/enviro justice reporter position. Past @MotherJones climate reporters include: @rebleber @kate_sheppard @bradplumer @juliawhitty... motherjones.com/jobs/climate-r…
2/ We also launched @ClimateDesk more than a decade ago, so that news orgs who were serious back then could team up and amplify each other's work.

Where was @billmckibben's initial essay on "350" published? That'd be @MotherJones (in 2008): motherjones.com/environment/20…
3/ There is no more vital topic, and we don't silo it off from the rest of the newsroom, or treat it like an afterthought. But we want candidates to tell us how they'd like to approach the beat in 2022. motherjones.com/jobs/climate-r… Image

1/ Attn screenwriters & true crime podcasters: the further down this rabbit hole you go, the more insane this story gets. Top line is that this guy, a rape suspect, fakes his own death, flees to Scotland, where he's found on a ventilator for Covid. But... nytimes.com/2022/01/13/us/…
2/ a few minutes of Googling unearths so much more. he claimed that he was abused in RI's child welfare system. Became a state legislative page at 14. There a state rep felt so bad he offered to adopt him. He was waived off by a family judge (!!)
3/ Do you know how sus you have to be for a family court judge to warn a state rep not to adopt you? I mean... (also, the judge's name is Jeremiah Jeremiah? That's just insanely on the nose, writers.)
