Trevor Stewart, president of Village Preservation, notes in its annual report for 2022:

“Our city is at an inflection point in so many ways, as it faces real challenges for its future direction. Will we repeat the mistakes of the past and give over vast swathes of our city to big real estate under the pretense that the public will benefit, or will we pursue new and innovative ways to preserve and add to the qualities that make our city and neighborhoods so distinctive and wonderful? Given the will, we can both preserve and improve livability, affordability and diversity.”

The sniffs came fast and furious as Adderal-addled Trump boasted on News Max about his defamation and attempted intimidation campaign against Jack Smith.

He is frenziedly ramping up his attacks on law and order in the U.S.

Tom Joseph suggests that one of the judges  order a (long-overdue) psychiatric evaluation.

Dr. Bandy Lee has been insisting for a long time that candidates for public office be subject to psychological profiling. (Not quite the right word — that’s for criminals— but in this case. . .)

Clearly, Trump’s treasonous insanity and his accelerating dementia require an immediate response.

The shame of the Murdochs.

Laura Ingraham sounded like a snarling hyena, while Jesse Waters emitted noises indicative of a problem with underwear two sizes too small.

Not a bit chastened by Fox’s defeat at the hands of Dominion, its “news” hosts ginned up the hyperventilation to lie through an espousal of Herr Trump’s imaginary innocence.

They were there at Bedminster  kissing his ass last night—just in time to advise him re: his latest, but not last indictment

Everyone around Trump becomes infected not only with his malevolent duplicity but his delusional stupidity: how else to process the news that Trump & Co. are now going to use his trial for treason to actually attempt to re-litigate his preposterous, totally debunked claims of voter fraud in 2020?

In yet another sign that he and his running-mate Casey are complete, shameless frauds, Ron is now attacking “elites.”

“Elite Colleges Prefer Wealth” is the subhead in today’s New York Times story unpacking a new report by Opportunity Insights that details the “extent to which being very rich is its own qualification in selective college admissions.”

And the GOP Supreme Court has no problem with that at all.

Reading Quentin Bell’s superb biography of Virginia Woolf.

She decried the literary “Underworld” whose “ambition was to be on the winning side. . . When Conrad published Victory, Virginia found it hailed by the Underworld as a masterpiece. . . But when she expressed her doubts. . .there was a kind of uneasy shift of opinion–perhaps Conrad was going out, perhaps the moment had come to disparage him.”

Oh, but she says she’s a Christian, so no harm, no foul, right?
