Ten things you can do instead of obsessing over who's going to be President next year
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Fri, 07/31/2020 - 11:14pmAfter some conversations I've had with the Biden faithful, I've concluded this: there are two crises. There's a national crisis right now, to be sure, with high unemployment, a lot of eviction, and COVID-19 running rampant throughout America. But then there's also a crisis in the brains of the President-obsessives.

Friday Open Thread ~ "What are you reading?" edition. Volume 3
Submitted by phillybluesfan on Fri, 07/31/2020 - 8:56am
For today's open thread, we'll be looking at the world through the eyes of one of my favorite authors:
Barry Lopez, in full Barry Holstun Lopez, (born January 6, 1945, Port Chester, New York, U.S.), American writer best known for his books on natural history and the environment. In such works as Of Wolves and Men (1978) and Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape (1986; National Book Award), Lopez employs natural history as a metaphor for wider moral issues.
Lopez also has a special place in my heart because my alma mater, Texas Tech University, has designated him their first scholar in residence. In that role, Barry spoke in Lubbock about the modern writer's social responsibilities.

The Logic of Adam Schiff
Submitted by fire with fire on Thu, 07/30/2020 - 11:39amI live in Adam Schiff's Congressional district, and over the years I have contributed to Bernie Sanders and a few other Lost Causes so his campaign has my email addy. His fundraising appeals tend to be unintentionally hilarious. This is what he sent today:

The Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) is the tactical unit of the US Border Patrol. Their mission is "to respond to terrorist threats of all types anywhere in the world in order to protect our nation’s homeland”. Formed in, wait for it, 1984, BORTAC has steadily expanded its scope and mission capabilities. The Bush administration expanded the border patrol to 20,000 members and increased its budget to the $5bn it is today.
