This story wrecks one of Trump's biggest scams: The idea that he is putting his knowledge of elite corruption and self-dealing to work for the "forgotten." It shows him milking the inside game for his own corrupt benefit with extraordinary clarity. 5/5 newrepublic.com/article/1814...

Thanks for all your thoughtful posts! Have you seen the following thread from the influential, conservative jurist, John Michael Luttig? The attached are the first two of ten short, extremely clear comments, analyzing the immunity question before the SCOTUS. twitter.com/judgeluttig/...

This is hilarious! :-) What a scamp!

Thank you, AnneA! I'm sticking with Post too, as long as possible, and would be glad to support a subscription model there (with different levels of financial support as possible for people, and perhaps an "angel" category for those who can.) Meanwhile it's great to find #Posties on Bluesky!

Thank you for sharing this commentary! Although I've read about Morrison's tremendous significance/influence as an editor, I'd never known about her approach to rejection letters. It's so like her, of course, to see them as another genre for sharing her incomparable insight, advice, and humanity.

Well said! 🇺🇸 I dare to hope for an America in which she has one of those "higher profile positions." :-)

I'm not a happy bulb-planter either; it's my one garden maintenance indulgence to hire a helper in fall to do that task. All best for your hip surgery!

Thanks for sharing the full interview :-)

Yes, the crunching feel is a lovely thing about this salt! If I may ask, do you use it generally in your cooking, or only on certain things?

Yes, an incredible blue! In our garden, we are working toward the "masses" stage that you achieved ~ by planting additional bulbs year by year. If I may ask, did you plant thousands of bulbs all at once or let them naturalize and spread over time?
