Holy hell, a MSM news article about the Walz family that isn’t a hit job.

The One Sin White Evangelicals Couldn’t Forgive Barack Obama For
It was an instant classic when written and relevant since the Obamas took the big stage last night.
Racism, and the embrace of hatred, endorsed by nearly all Christian denominations in this country since the 1980s is why I don’t go to church anymore. Trump just doubled down on it and is successful in getting Christians to agree to the worst possible things.
The DNC roll call featured a musical salute to each state. Here’s what your state chose
Not bad, not bad at all.
They *did* wimp out on Iowa though.
School Vouchers Were Supposed to Save Taxpayer Money. Instead They Blew a Massive Hole in Arizona’s Budget.
I mean, I am not an education specialist or a journalist, but this headline – and assumption – are just ridiculous.
Pro-tip for modern American journalism. If a Republican says something is about saving money or freedom? It is about NEITHER.
At least for you. Vouchers are for sending public money to private institutions that can’t make it on their own. It is about tax breaks for folks who don’t need them. It is about denying children a proper education on the public end, and to shield children from properly learning about the real world on the private end.
It is about taking from the poor and kicking them while they are down some more for cheap jollies. That’s it.
If I were an employer, I’d hesitate to hire someone who hid from the world in homeschooling, or private/parochial schools without at least asking why it was done. You are getting an incomplete person, even with the finest instructors. Public schools *should* be better, I agree, but life lessons are learned from being challenged, not running away and saying, “screw you and your’s, I’ve got mine (on your dime)”.
Explaining why your keyboard feels so darn good—or way too mushy
I am a bit picky about my keyboards. I have a nice, clicky Velocifire with a 10 key (DON’T EVER NOT GIVE ME A 10-KEY!) but don’t need to go too deep into the $400+ options.
Anyway, here’s a breakdown from Ars Technica about your computer’s main interface (unless you really just spend all day browsing).
Kamala Harris doesn’t owe the national press anything
The same mass media that will stop everything to air a Donald Trump fart but never fact check a thing a Republican says, demands to know why Kamala Harris won’t sit for their loaded questions.
I mean, she picked a VP choice who spent decades in the National Guard only to be attacked by some 4 year REMF Marine and they took the couch fucker’s side. Gee, wonder why they aren’t thinking they’d get fair treatment.
Hell, I even called out our local NPR affiliate and actually had a reporter question whether I really believed they were biased. I provided examples. Haven’t heard back.
Figures.
So, yeah, fuck ’em.
The Battle Over Chavez Ravine
This got replayed a couple weeks ago and is another reminder that folks get driven out of their homes for the commercial benefit of already rich people all the time.
The fact this country isn’t burning in righteous indignation over the mistreatment of the poor and minorities is all you need to know about how timid folks are.
She could become the first Native American woman governor if Tim Walz steps down. Meet Peggy Flanagan
We could be in for a seismic demographic representational change in this state.
Flanagan seems good people. My only rip on her is that her husband, Tom Weber, was a great up-and-coming journalist for MPR before she became the lieutenant governor. He stepped down because of the perceived conflict of interest.
Frankly, given the conservative voice MPR has had since it changed owners, they’d have run him off anyway, but it was definitely a loss at the time.
Lawrence: ‘Stupidest’ candidate Trump did not answer reporters’ questions
Once in a blue moon, one of our major media journalists remember that they are there to serve the public, not just pass on lying pablum.
