Here’s a link to the paper referenced by the article. Not sure why it wasn’t included with the article. Anyway, this chart stood out to me:

Don’t believe or respect anyone who says the White House is working on a ceasefire deal. This administration has clearly been working on just the opposite.

Meanwhile, with Harris’s enthusiastic acceptance of Dick Cheney’s endorsement, there’s a resurgent fascism within the Democrats that these normies are happily ignoring. That guy did more to expand American fascism than Trump even promises. Therefore, this election isn’t really about totalitarianism versus democracy. That’s another reason why the anticipatory obedience accusation isn’t relevant. It would have also been anticipatory obedience to endorse Harris.

WaPo could certainly have done worse. It’s not unreasonable to expect that a billionaire might look after a newspaper like a rare classic car or other vanity purchase, that he would be content to keep it running nicely even if it’s ostensibly a poor investment.

I just do not understand this worldview that the billionaires are supposed to have protected journalism, let alone served as an important bulwark against fascism. It was already game over if that’s the case.

Well, these and other injuries against journalists and journalism aren’t new, but the coverage and outrage that I would have expected these and other outlets to produce has been relatively weak. Doesn’t seem like there’s much left standing to collapse.

I just try to be concise when I can. Either these papers only just started serving their owners’ material interests a few days ago or the outrage over the non-endorsements is contrived, irrational, and/or self-important; an embarrassing freak-out.

These papers have been privately owned by billionaires for years.

When I think of journalism collapsing, I think of the persecution of Julian Assange or the targeting of journalists in Gaza. The blocking of editorial boards’ endorsements seems trivial in comparison.

It sure looks a lot less comfortable than their cruisers.

Maybe they reduced the height on that police HUMVEE. It’s not like we have a lot of wilderness around here through which to drive it.

A HUMVEE and an H1 are the same size, right? That’s my main point, that this vehicle which was once considered totally oversized for public roads now looks normal or small compared to today’s SUVs.

Okay, this vehicle is definitely not an H1. I thought there was a question as to whether it’s even a HUMVEE.

Some people have remarked that it might not be a real one. It looked legit in person, but now I’m not so sure.

You might be right about the Chevys not being Blazers.

I don’t know why the police would have a kit Hummer. The interior looked like a real HUMVEE, with tiny seats, a wide partition down the center, and a spartan dash and instrument cluster. It even has a big, circular hatch in the roof.

Yeah. Non-zero chance something happened to her outside of the oven and someone put her body in there.

My house in the winter if I let my wife have free reign over the thermostat.

Thank you. The article was not paywalled for me and I am not a Washington Post subscriber.

I think the idea is that passenger vehicles should have to have design features that mitigate harm to pedestrians, specifically pertaining to head injuries. Apparently having a low, angled hood is better than a high, vertical grill. So I guess the Cybertruck wouldn’t be the worst offender among the other pick-ups out there.

I know it’s a seller’s market, but God damn!
