The Times has gotten just weird in its seeming determination not to seem biased toward the Democratic nominee (who is now always clouded in shadows) or against the unhinged fascist, even if reality itself is biased. I'm starting to understand why Silver got so fed up with their political desk.

WaPo's The Fix has put real numbers on the taco-truck-on-every-corner proposal. Their conclusion: jobs. Also a lot of tacos.

When your own Hispanic advisory council is staging a walkout after the speech… (Excepting the guy who doesn't understand Americans and our relationship with tacos—he's still there. The people who support DACA and don't want all those kids or serving soldiers deported, though, they gave up.)

"What about the emails?!!!"

Thank you; please print.

They have to hold the rallies in nonsensical places because it's getting hard to turn people out in swing states.

I think one might get somewhere by encouraging extreme pledges from candidates in the last few weeks—like, they will refuse to vote on any Supreme Court nominees. (Not that they will agree, but draw them out on how dysfunctional they intend to be.) Since a lot of Rs will be running on "I will be a check on Clinton,"…

Better debate idea: All time most popular candidates of every party to at some point hold the White House are exhumed and propped on stage, puppeteers carry out mock debate. Halfway through a coalition of tube socks robs a stagecoach.

He just hired a guy known for decades of Clinton attacks, seemingly with no experience in elections. He will be in charge of integrating their data analytics and ground game, says Kellyann.

I live in New England. A glut of taco trucks is not our problem.

Right? This guy seriously underestimates the pent-up desire for decent tacos.

My husband loves Radiolab's sound style. I find it nails on a chalkboard.

Whoa yourself. I used 'shouldn't have' in the context that to avoid losing all their savings, we don't recommend "well people shouldn't have to protect themselves. It's the criminals who are wrong" and then stop, confident we've done all we can. I did not imply "well you shouldn't have done X, because that makes it…

Can I take a centrist position? For example, trigger warnings as initially created are good: Let people who may have ptsd know that an explicit description of stuff known to cause that is coming. Somewhat like NPR does the 'this story will contain X, so if your kids are around we're giving you this opportunity to…

I think the nationalism, conviction that we're being held down by those Others we need to round up, etc, are real parallels to the rise of the third Reich—so do some holocaust survivors—and find the "you can't say that, Godwin's law!!!!" instinctive response really irritating. Even though i have certainly seen the…

I find the "just teach men not to rape" answer really frustrating. If your mom asks you how she can avoid having her financial information stolen online, you don't answer "Mom, if someone stole your identity and savings it would be their fault! You shouldn't have to do anything different!"

Why? And I type that as a parent to teenagers, who does not myself drink. There's nothing like saying "ooooooh this is SO special and grown-up and only for the truly mature" to make something appealing. And encourage the binge drinking party where you don't call for help lest you get in trouble, rather than the…

A big part is social expectations. That is, men rape drunk women at parties because they think it makes them more studly to their friends. People who feel that everyone around them would sharply disapprove of (insert thing) manage to control any related urges, because the social cost is steep.

That you individually can do, no.
