"And this is where Communion—which I will say now, in order to get it out of the way, is a very bad and boring book, in ways that greatly exceed even the badness and boringness of Hillbilly Elegy—gets interesting, if not to read then certainly to think about."

I got angrier and angrier reading this column.

"The Carney government clearly sought to curtail debate and study on C-39 to limit knowledge about the bill, and public outcry."

Opposition parties banded together this week in a futile attempt to hear more expert testimony on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Building Canada Strong Act, C-39, after dozens of witnesses warned MPs the bill is deeply flawed, and more than 100 individual Canadians and groups — including the Liberal Party’s national women commission — urged amendments or begged the government to change course on legislation that will impact labour rights, Indigenous Peoples and environmental safeguards, including the protection of endangered species.

It’s enough to restore your faith, at least a little: the far right is a cancer of the human soul and a magnet for incompetence, and it has been rejected in Hungary, in Serbia, and in Brazil. And now in America, where the future is not a white nationalist dystopia because Trump has been turned into an 80-year-old has-been who might one day go to prison, if everything breaks right. He isn’t dead but he’s dying as a politician, and the real hope is some of his ideas die with him. It doesn’t repair the wreckage, of course; there’s too much of that. But it’s a start.

Peep the word choice in the headline and subhead here.

Observation: People resort to fancier words when they are unsure of themselves or don't want to be accountable.

Alternative wording: talks more, swears more and makes less sense.

Screenshot from NYT article showing headline, subhead over jowl of the president. Embedded text reads: news analysis. Threats, gaps, and men's posteriors: Trump's talk gets Wilder. A Times review of the president's public speeches finds that he is more profane, more absolute, longer-winded and less coherent than he was in 2016

By the time the full consequences of the administration’s actions become apparent, experts warn, it could be too late to fix. That’s because basic research funded by federal grants often takes decades to mature into the technology, medical treatments and consumer products that change American life.

During Xi's rule, more than 600,000 cadres have been criminally prosecuted. Denunciation culture is on the rise. Some of the most competent were expelled from the party. Unclear where this is going, but a confident political system looks differently.
