The New York Times@nytimes.com · 9mo agoBreaking News: The U.S. trade deficit rose sharply in November, as President Trump’s tariffs generated intense volatility.
Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.
O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more. (Psalm 10:17-18)
As I noted in ONE NATION UNDER GOD, a lot of the 1950s-era campaigns to post the TC on school walls fell apart when they moved from theory to practice and had to pick a specific text. Proponents were often stunned to learn that Protestants, Catholics and Jews had different versions.

Thunderbolts made $162M worldwide. It made a little more internationally than domestically. It will clear its production budget next week. It’s doing fine.
Alex Zalben@azalben.bsky.social · last yr.It is pretty interesting to see the same outlets that framed Sinners making $48 million on a $90 million budget opening weekend as cause for concern, also frame Thunderbolts making $76 million on an $180 million budget opening weekend as a little soft, but nothing to worry about.
Also, we had TV movies about autism when I was a kid. True, I’m not as old as RFK, who I think died like 20 years ago and was then reanimated.

I know it’s a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it — Sam Alito is a mediocre turnip and the assertion we should take him as a serious intellectual has always been suspect.
