As President Biden pardons his son — a private citizen — it's worth noting that *literally yesterday* Trump appointed a convicted-felon family member whom he'd previously pardoned to a major ambassadorship. I do not expect that these two stories will garner similar coverage.

Trump was going to pardon anyone he wants no matter what Anyone pretending otherwise isn’t credible

Donald Trump pardoned literally every single crook who supported him and violated the law to do so. Bannon, Manafort, Stone, Fynn, etc...what an insanely stupid thing, why are there so many pathetic fucks so desperate to signal to people who cool and non-partisan they are?

Listening to the NPR story about people losing trust in vaccines is maddening.

Sony is all-in with the "usb-c to mag lock" style adapter for stuff, huh? Kind of curious on why that isn't a more generic pattern others follow.

Gmail seems to somewhat randomly respond to keyboard events in ways that are incredibly frustrating. Am I just being punished for having keyboard shortcuts on?

"A certain amount of reflection and self-criticism is healthy, but we’ve blown past that point and are in danger of over-interpreting the 2024 results." Time to shake off the torpor and act like an opposition. thebulwark.com/p/damn-the-dem…

Realizing Monty Python's room for abuse is far too apropos for life.

This was a really good conversation.

Crap. Forgot to see how much eggs are.

Best part of this pod is tough to call, but "is this Portlandia?!" is a strong contender.
