This headline stack is one for the time capsule. First, analyzing Harris's message discipline, which is common to normie politicians, as if it's uniquely revealing and shifty. Second, framing Trump's openly racist, completely dishonest stump rhetoric as if it's quirky and full of subtle meaning.

Top headline: "In Interviews, Kamala Harris Continues to Bob and Weave. Her media swing showed how she often responds to uncomfortable questions by acknowledging them, yet not fully answering them."

Second headline: "In remarks about migrants, Donald Trump invoked his long-held fascination with genes and genetics."

Haha. For you Youngs, Milton Friedman was a famous economist in the 1970s who advised both Reagan and Margaret Thatcher and doomed us all to the predatory free market. The GOP still clings to his ideas, despite the misery 50 years of them has produced.

"seizure of over $25 million worth of cryptocurrency." ? It's like saying "more than 700 rare Beanie Babies with a street value exceeding $6 million."

Muriel Rukeyser, "Poem", 1968

I lived in the first century of world wars.
Most mornings I would be more or less insane,
The newspapers would arrive with their careless stories,
The news would pour out of various devices
Interrupted by attempts to sell products to the unseen.
I would call my friends on other devices;
They would be more or less mad for similar reasons.
Slowly I would get to pen and paper,
Make my poems for others unseen and unborn.
In the day I would be reminded of those men and women,
Brave, setting up signals across vast distances,
Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values.
As the lights darkened, as the lights of night brightened,
We would try to imagine them, try to find each other,
To construct peace, to make love, to reconcile
Waking with sleeping, ourselves with each other,
Ourselves with ourselves. We would try by any means
To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,
To let go the means, to wake.

I lived in the first century of these wars.
