    Someone in the threads or 'shed raised the possibility that he's a sock account, which seems quite likely. He's posting exclusively through an IP that registers to VPN service IPvanish.com. This also means he's successfully evaded being tied to any other account (which he may or may not have! --...

    wutthewut

    No IP match to Georgia Husker, and wutthewut appears to be from Nebraska. However, it seems related. This is just documentation for now. wut uses exclusively mobile IPs and the report on his most recent IP (from Member>Show All IPs) encountered a lot of error logs this morning (70.198.33.3)...

    Georgia Husker

    He hasn't stepped outside of the bounds, exactly, but knapp suggested to me he was a sock puppet some time ago: I confirmed this today. While he doesn't share IPs, he signed up for two accounts simultaneously recently and left one ('Mike Riley') in Validating. His email addresses were...

    'To My Fellow Plutocrats: You Can Cure Trumpism'

    http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/07/18/to-my-fellow-plutocrats-you-can-cure-trumpism-215347 This is a stirring and delightful manifesto. I'm buying what he's selling. Many aspects of this are so incisively well-stated. This line in particular resonates:

    #FakeNews

    While trawling through Ann Coulter twitter tonight (I know...), I came across a fairly disturbing story: supposedly Klaus Eberwein, a Haitian official "set to testify against the Clinton Foundation", was found dead in his hotel in an apparent suicide. Since this was trumpeted by the likes of...

Partially due to personnel losses which we have ...sustained (we miss you, Frank), I've asked Chad and he agrees it's time to add a couple more to the mods team for this season. Even the load for everyone, and inject some fresh blood for all...

    Dream hoarders

    I expected this to be one of those David Brooks columns I find top-down awful, especially given the blown-up about the sandwich anecdote, but I actually agree quite strongly with the first half of this. I also agree that he goes off the rails once he minimizes the "structural barriers"...

    California's push to drive down maternal mortality

    https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/6/29/15830970/women-health-care-maternal-mortality-rate Maternal mortality in the U.S. has increased from 19 to 24 per 100,000 from 2000 to 2014.

    Finland's UBI experiment

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/finland-universal-basic-income-lower-stress-better-motivation-work-wages-salary-a7800741.html Here's the kicker: this is a "Center-Right" experiment in Finland. It's opposed by Finland's largest union. It's refreshing to see politics move globally...

    The Top Fifth

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/10/opinion/sunday/stop-pretending-youre-not-rich.html Articulates what I've tried to do less well on several occasions. This isn't to say that within the top fifth, the lower 15% doesn't have many more burdens and risks than the upper 5%, for example. But class...

    Why do we give "NeverTrumpers" deference?

    Why are people surprised that McCain revealed (among other things) his Trump-friendly inclinations in his questions to Comey? Trump is exactly what they want. They love this. Guys like Rand Paul, John McCain, Lindsey Graham -- even non-politicians such as Evan McMullinm (who to be fair has...
