@MattWelch before we descend into electoral madness I want you to know at least one listener enjoyed the excellent Watership Down reference that went unacknowledged a few weeks ago on the round-table (Harris experiencing "Tharn"). That is all. See you on the other side (?) 🫡

@nickgillespie What is the libertarian upside for the president being off the hook if they want to order mass execution of dissidents or start a military coup? Other branches checking that power is part of the design, no?

This sounds positively Trumpian in its hyperbole and norm-smashing. Always good to have someone from one branch of govt denouncing another branch as fundamentally illegitimate.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC

The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.

@kmanguward The perfect encapsulation of this is the episode where there is a surplus and Josh tells Donna they can't give it back to the tax payers because they "might not spend it right"

@aporeticaster I will inevitably be back to this theme in the pod, but the short version is: The people who run DC today all came here buoyed by a Sorkinian fantasy of well-intentioned semi-technocratic competence. When in fact, as with all places, DC is full of self-interested dummies.

@kmanguward any chance you’ll indulge us with your case on how The West Wing helped create the current sociopolitical timeline (hellscape)? Sounds like a fun ride (Just finishing up the Roundtable where it‘s mentioned in passing).

I'm a diehard Android phone user and--Merrick Garland be damned!--am absolutely not switching to an iPhone. But it's time to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S20+ after 4 great years. Fellow droid-stans, should I stick w Galaxy S2x, go with Google, try a foldable? Thanks--

A genuine question not an assertion: who is a pessimist that has changed the world for the better?

ie, we invented codices, kids these days won't use scrolls, we invented scrolls, KTD won't use stone tablets, we invented the written word, KTD won't memorize. That general vibe.

@galosgann @mbeisen Ah, so from the PIs perspective, not the Unis. That makes sense, thank you. Now that you mention it I recall hearing some departments had their PIs pay tuition for the students and some do not so that makes sense.

@aporeticaster @mbeisen I presume in this scheme it's what you pay to the university if you have a student, so it's just a part of direct costs.

Why is that when you say "I believe we must legalize/decriminalize all drugs," every single person follows up by asking "Even heroin?" Bitch. What do you think "all" means?

@ABitMorePod I think the tenor of the show lends itself to good faith inquiry about the topics so it seems like a natural fit. I will continue to follow and would be open to potentially engaging with the community as it evolves.

@aporeticaster We haven't talked about doing that! But we'll consider it. Thanks for the suggestion and kind review! We might need a good mod to run things...
