An amazing birthday gift: getting to talk to the legend @swish41 for #WITHPod. Image
@swish41 Just an incredibly kind, gracious dude.
At the end of our convo he was like, "Man, you're a basketball *fanatic*." And I was like: guilty as charged!
Apologies in advance to #WITHPod listeners for the *extended* discussion of different pick and roll defensive approaches and schemes.

The @nytimes Visual Investigations team is *incredible*.
@nytimes They are able to verify video so well and quickly, as well as bootstrap their own investigations.

I've been thinking alot about what a left/liberal approach to the question of Pulic Order would look like, because I think it's a pretty missing part of the conversation.
I write a bit about this in A Colony in a Nation, but recently I've come to think of it as the Smoker on the Subway Platform problem. If you say to me, do you want the cops to confront and arrest someone who is smoking on the subway platform? I would say, Absolutely not!
And if you say: the two options are: a) the cops confront and arrest him or b) nothing, I'll opt for nothing. But also, it seems eminently reasonable to say "I don't really want people smoking on the subway platform."

The Covid discourse is weird and nasty because I think it just absolutely sucks to go through two years of a pandemic. But one thing that feels weird now is that the winning side in the "get back to normal" debate seems very angry about losing the debate even though they won?
I mean things are not back to normal because there's still a very active, highly transmissible, infectious disesase that's getting people sick and killing 2000 people a day. But from a policy perspective, the vast vast majority of stuff is open, including schools.
And I'll say I think that's roughly correct, policy-wise. Large scale NPI's - particularly closures - are not really on the table for good reason. Vaccinating and boosting 80+% of the population should be the priority along with...

Every time I watch a bit more of Get Back, all I want to do it is talk about it all day!

Also, man could they sign a tight, effortless harmony.

This our level best attempt to lay out - action by corrupt action - the coup attempt *just as it relates to Georgia*. There is a lot. They tried and tried, and tried some more. They came at it in every way they could think.
I would say if you found this useful or clarifying, please share it!
They
- forced an audit

- tried to intimidate the governor into calling a special session

- tried to intimidate the SoS into “finding” the votes to win

- tried to get the US Attorney to announce voter fraud investigations…

I think the basics here are incredibly straightforward: the big thrust of the Biden campaign was "back to normal" and things...aren't back to normal!
I don't really think that's Biden's fault at all. And it's more than a little infuriating to watch Republicans hand off a once-in-a-lifetime crisis to the Democratic successor for the second time in the last 12 years, and then make political hay off the misery.
But the bottom line is this: if thins are...like this 11 months from now Democrats will get annihilated no matter what their legislative accomplishments or messaging are.
