That makes it more palatable to remain indoors for lunch and catch up on these stories:
- Josh Marshall reminds us why, given today's anemic jobs report, listening to Larry Summers never ends well.
- David Brooks asks, "Could today’s version of America have been able to win World War II?" Tl;dr: Nope.
- George Conway III outlines Rudy Giuliani's legal troubles.
- Ted Koppel takes a look at "cancel culture" in the context of the past 40 years. Tl;dr: old practice, new name.
- Thanks to inside dealing, bad drafting, and the usual bullshit neighbors give each other, a 6-unit condo building in Wicker Park with 5 parking spaces has triggered a 3-year lawsuit over who can park in one of the spaces.
And finally, via Bruce Schneier, Australia has proposed starting cyber-security training in Kindergartens.
