For esoteric reasons, I've read more about Gustave Caillebotte than about any other single subject over the past few years. Vacuumed up much of the literature, art historical & critical. I can confidently say that Tom Crewe's @lrb.co.uk essay is the best thing out there. Thrilling piece

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”
The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists.
They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

I can say this now that I’m leaving, but on this trip i took several intercity trains and all of them were on time, both leaving and arrival, to the exact minute. I know British people have lots of complaints about their rail service, but to an American it’s nothing short of magic most of the time.

Trump's VA killed a home loan program. Vets are now losing their homes because of it
Foreclosures on VA loans are at their highest level in a decade. VA has a fix but it is months away and could still leave vets worse off than most other homeowners.
