Oof, The more I read about the near-miss in Austin, the more terrifying it gets:

"This Austin situation is awful. As bad as it gets without body bags….

This was a total system failure. These airplanes were not separated by any good fortune of serendipitous timing. The only thing preventing another Tenerife was the FedEx crew's situational awareness and the breath of god." /via @JFallows

Would you like a chestnut tree? They used to be all over the place around where I live but there was a blight.
Some folks have genetically modified some of our native chestnut trees with a bit of wheat gene that provides blight resistance and they're trying to get it deregulated so that we can start growing these beautiful and useful trees again. You can learn more about it and comment here:

Another example: an identity team kept causing problems because they would conflate a user account and the actual human(s) using that account by calling them both "user".

After a week of me asking whether they were talking about user meaning "sack of meat" or "sack of bits", they did not have that problem any more.

Semafor said today that "a critical mass of conservatives do not trust McCarthy to lead them..."

Conservatives. Is that what they are?

John Boehner's description of the same crowd in his memoir:

"What they're really interested in is chaos... They want to throw sand in the gears of the hated federal government until it fails."

Are the sowers of chaos properly called "conservatives?"

Is MAGA conservative?

Why do #journalists with a commitment to accuracy maintain this fiction?
