No great or fast solution here, but the focus on print media, while important in an age of social media and shared headlines, sometimes misses the point that most swing state voters are not getting their news from the NY Times and the Washington Post but from just leaving the TV on all the time.

Would be a lot better if they could edit out the few moments of coherence and instead say, "Trump was in Wisconsin today and made a set of incoherent and outrageous claims about low-flow toilets and immigrants riding sharks to sneak into the country" before showing a supercut of such statements.

It's a tough spot to be in. They can't air him uninterrupted because that's bad, but when they air these quick cuts with no more setup than "Trump was in Wisconsin today and made the case against Harris" it's also bad!

Ha. I host a podcast and think, "is that what my voice really sounds like when i talk?" So adding video is really something.

It's so strange! Also I hate looking at myself when I'm recording, so the screen staring right back at me makes it hard.

Difficult to get your head round the scale of devastation in Chimney Rock, NC. Vast swathes of it now wiped from the map. #Helene

Before and after photo showing the buildings now swept away. Nothing remains.

Sorry to be snippy, but I've said over and over again that a well managed city could enforce sensible regulations. Minimum sidewalk clearance/accessibility would be one. Widening sidewalks or taking more space from cars would be even better. Plenty of other cities do this without much of a problem.

I had a feeling this day would come and I am here for it.
