Google "Timothy Eugene Scott": only hits are for bio's of him. Not one conversational quote. I expect he's only heard his full name from his mom when he was in deep trouble…as he should be now: "Timothy Eugene Scott! You apologize for those racist ads this second, and don't you EVER do that again!"

Generally legacy media allow Rs to get away with egregious racism. This is not objective journalism. It is enabling racism. Every R should be confronted with this crap in every interview

Reading onward in Moral Man and Immoral Society (1932): Niebuhr is looking at how the morality an individual can aspire to and achieve might be realized more boardly in mass society, and he (tho' a theologian) says religion (or at least Religion) won't likely be a lot of help. /1

Back to this. A great thing about older books is that they aren't reaching for novel ways to say important thing all over again to make them their own. It's fine to state them plain, since perhaps they were new at that time. What Niebuhr says here of France in the 1930s may be true of others today…

Pret' near perfect. Loon off stage right just drifting, and only sounds were the cheeping or gocking of other birds. And lots of rain, so a wet woods.

Niko Helm, a Carcross/Tagish First Nation citizen…, said on this trip to Moosehide alone, he witnessed personal growth in the youth. "A lot of the kids, you could tell they were having life-changing moments," Helm said. "Some of them, they'd just break down crying when they'd see these big events."

Saw mention of this book yesterday and realized Reinhold Niebuhr is one of those folks I've long seen discussed and quoted and felt I "knew about"... ...without actually having read any of his sustained, book-length arguments. So I started this one from 1932, and right away thought, "Yup." /1

Coincidentally, these are the same skills needed to work in the current White House or sit on the GOP side in Congress.

The hidden caption you get from clicking the little "i" says: "Mitch McConnell is taken to a policy lunch on Capitol Hill in May." May. Using this pic in this way is reeeeally questionable, since anyone just skimming will think this is him leaving rehab, as the headline suggests.

Jess Calarco

Okay, but did any member of the press actually *see* McConnell leave the rehab center? Because I'm pretty sure this photo is from before his original fall. And the article itself only mentions a statement saying he went home.

Plus Napoleon. There are no videos AT ALL of him, so how could he have been real? And shooting video in black and white is def a sign they were covering something up, because they would have actually had to do extra steps to select that filter on their phones, and who does that at a game?

This tale has a twin on the other side: A Chinese journalist told me that at this same site, a U.S. Secret Service agent was rudely pushing around Chinese bystanders, so a large Chinese plainclothes security guy came up from behind, gripped the American by the arms, lifted him and set him aside. /1

Returned to this to apply that "starting point" advice: Asked for a list of women newspaper and wire service reporters in Washington in 1974, and then if any were noted for being short. Naomi Nover's name came up, and ordinary googling found this great anecdote from a Newsweek piece. Delightful! /7
