Higher gas and oil prices is actually a Good Thing for us long term. It provides an incentive to shift to other energy sources. I just wish it happened because of rational policy choices, and not because we decided to start an extremely stupid and illegal war.

You should still impeach her, because via impeachment you can bar her from being a federal officer

And ultimately the math is easier for impeachment

Yeah, if you want to apply a TEXTJOIN to every row in a range, you need a LAMBDA, although there's more than one way. I use this one to join each column value in a row, applying a number format to each value. I manage my favorite LAMBDAs with Monkey Tools

Excel can understand that just fine. Seems like a skill issue for the user.

the rejection of international binding rules and an impersonal international order built on the fundamental equality of peoples and nations was (and is) a cornerstone of fascism

This is actually a more humane response than we’ve gotten from either the United States (β€œwe’re investigating”) or Israel (β€œthey bombed themselves”).

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

The breathtaking stupidity of saying "we destroyed their nuclear capabilities" a few months ago only to pivot to "they were two days from having THE BOMB" is absolutely stunning. They are the Miles Davis of stupid, forever capable of stripping stupid down to its roots and reinventing it.

It is wild to me that DOGE/Musk could dismantle so much of the government in just a few months from a combination of anti-regulatory personal greed and fascism-tinged stupidity and no one will ever face any consequence for it.

Hey, that's not fair. There are also people with inside information manipulating the betting pools to take the addicts' money.

This is a good piece, but I am struck by how he explains that Trump's brazenness has taken every 'congress must authorize' and turned it into 'congress needs a super-majority to stop.'

And I think the solution, to be frank, is in 2029 to put administration officials on trial for their illegality.
