And here we are. It occurs to me that the difference between prices short-term and long-term is like the difference between “weather” and “climate” and there ARE people who don’t really know (or care about) the difference.

I almost didn’t read this entertaining bit because (a) I’ll probably never need it or use it successfully, and (b) HN usually takes these things way too seriously, but, unexpectedly, there’s a smidge of humor on HN:
Actually, this seems like a good argument in ANY election.

Today is Noah Smith day, apparently.

Worth a read, y’all.
«The picture went all around the world, and then disappeared, as if we willed it away. One of the most famous photographs in human history became an unmarked grave, and the man buried inside its frame—the Falling Man—became the Unknown Soldier in a war whose end we have not yet seen. Richard Drew’s photograph is all we know of him, and yet all we know of him becomes a measure of what we know of ourselves. The picture is his cenotaph, and like the monuments dedicated to the memory of unknown soldiers everywhere, it asks that we look at it, and make one simple acknowledgment.
That we have known who the Falling Man is all along.»

This.
becca harrison (@_beccaharrison) Tweeted: Enough with the 9/11 fluff. We’re literally not allowed to forget it. Meanwhile 700,000 people whose lives mattered just as much have died of Covid. We can’t seem to forget fast enough. Imagine if patriotism meant caring for each other rather than mere nationalism? 🥺💔

Sherrilyn Ifill (@Sifill_LDF) Tweeted: These are not organic appearances by concerned parents. This is a plan to “take over the school board meeting.” Oh, and they’d like “a manly presence.” Ups the intimidation factor, I suppose.
This only matters for some poor school board in Smithfield NC, but (a) this is how the far right operates (probably hoping to get kicked out so the can get more publicity), and (b) it’s always the school boards, isn’t it? The thing nobody pays attention to (along with judgeships).
Carolina Forward (@ForwardCarolina) Tweeted: Deep in the swamp of the NC far-right’s facebook groups, this notice is circulating. Cawthorn is teaming up with two no-name Congressional candidates to ambush a local school board meeting 300 miles from his district in JoCo, and gathering a crowd to come with him. #ncpol https://t.co/HTaTzb6w2I https://twitter.com/ForwardCarolina/status/1434686254663323649?s=20
