With Trump being so respectful of constitutional chain of command on all other issues I am sure he would exactly follow established protocol on this one. And if he didn’t? Well congress has shown itself so willing to fight for reclaiming its power.
Worthy of the many accolades it has received.
Saw another fantastic Jesse Welles concert last night - and if that were not enough - the opener SG Goodman, who I had never heard of blew me away.
My recent readings on the US have made me think more about racism in Canada - and it happens that one of the our most prominent Black Power activists and I went to the same elementary school in Nova Scotia (which he called “Alabama North”). Full of familiar names and places experienced differently.
Things never taught - especially enjoyed how the author individually discussed enslavement and freedom in different Empires.
The other J Kerouac - barely known to her father - with a wild story worth telling.
The Economist fact checkers really failed on this one.
“Mass spectroscope??”
The Human Exposome Project will map how environmental factors shape health

That strange feel one gets as a parent at a zoo is captured perfectly in the first half of this “undelivered lectures” book.
Here at Harvard judging a debate tournament and they have chalk! And a Chalkboard! I am tempted to use just for old time sake!
Picked up for the name - BUT the name is random (the name of a British flat) and it is a beautifully written book on love and AIDS. Somewhere near the end of the book the real NS is mentioned. And I often wonder as I look at the airplane map - why this small place is mentioned (New Glasgow?)
Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.
Trying to increase my US history - and having grown up surrounded by Black Loyalists and now living where the formation of the republic is constantly celebrated - the question of who was pro British and why is always there. Through this book I learned the answer.
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
The “marsh” where was walking was land given to black loyalists. The elementary school we went once had separate bathrooms for blacks and whites. The pics and the names have me thinking about the time then (1975-81) and there was a lot of racism.

Since her sister was in my class in elementary school and I remember the victim as a smiling, happy little sister - and 45 year later these pictures show the same smile. (1/2)
Remember all the anger against the 9/11 hijackers for "using our freedoms against us?"
Where is that anger for the Broligarchs, like Thiel & Musk, who also used our freedoms to destroy the US--immigrating here, getting rich on tax $ (esp fed contracts), then blowing up democracy from the inside?
I have a 3-year postdoc position available at University of Manchester for a mass spec expert in proteomics. The person will be involved in exciting projects in single cell proteomics, drug discovery and innate immunity - on timsTOF Ultra AIP & HF & Astral Zoom.

Cartography, the Soviet H-bomb, Dutch exploration - all somehow woven together in a way that makes you want to keep reading.
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.
Abolish the Republican Party.
Like every Canadian woman in the late 1980’s I was an Atwood fan girl in undergrad. I loved the stories her woodsy childhood, the birth of the CanLit scene (I am still a big reader of it), and the description of how people and events ended up in her writing. Also a moving love story.
I am drinking Molson Canadian (no boycott) and it is “Hockey is for Everyone” night at the Bruins game (a lot of cheering for the Boston Pride player). I love Massachusetts but we are still here in the USA.
Abolish, redefine, rename. Like the NKVD to the KGB post Stalin.
Is there a version for Drabble
