The NYT (here, Peter Baker) must both-sides everything. Whatever Trump does, no matter how egregious, must be balanced with something Harris did, no matter how innocent.

Trump immediately exploited his assassination scare for fund-raising. Did Harris do anything like that?

Barely four hours after Mr. Trump was hustled into a motorcade away from the golf club for his protection, his finance team sent out an email to its fund-raising list with a button to click to make a donation. "My resolve is only stronger after another attempt on my life!" Mr. Trump said in the email. *Ms. Harris's fund-raising emails continued as well.*

The death of Alexander Woollcott en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexande…
In visible distress, Woollcott commented ten minutes into the broadcast that he was feeling ill, but continued his remarks. "It's a fallacy to think that Hitler was the cause of the world's present woes", he said. "Germany was the cause of Hitler." He said nothing further, but reportedly took a notepad and wrote the words, "I am sick." The radio audience remained unaware that Woollcott had suffered a heart attack and died at New York's Roosevelt Hospital, aged 56, of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was buried in Clinton, New York, at his alma mater, Hamilton College, but not without some confusion. By mistake, his ashes were sent to Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. When the error was corrected and the ashes were forwarded to Hamilton College, they arrived with 67¢ postage due.

The scam-ridden cryptocurrency industry is spending wildly to elect a Republican senate. Makes sense. So much of what Trump controls -- and he owns the Republicans outright -- has proved to be corrupt.

A bit of political jujitsu ought to be able to turn that all into a liability for Brown's opponent.

Who's going to trust a bunch of crypto bros? Name them as the predators and grifters they are.

Donald Trump's cowardice is exhausting and wasteful.

WTF is there to investigate?! I'm so damn tired of these people. At least I see where his followers get it from --If you've ever had to deal with someone who refuses to admit defeat or that they've been wrong about something, you know exactly what I mean.

Imagine being a tiny newborn chick with a broken leg and zero chance for help, pain relief, or recovery. The meat industry simply looks at them as expendable, minor losses in profit.

From Xitter, yesterday, poster named Sharif Kouddous: "The Ministry of Health in Gaza has just published a 749-paged document with the name, age, gender, ID number of every Palestinian killed in Gaza from October 7 to August 31 that it ha info for (over 34k out of 40k). The 1st 14 pages the age is listed as 0 (under 1 year old)" Illustration below this text is a list where you can barely see some numbers and words mostly in Arabic, to show the list is real.

There was another probable gravitational-wave signal yesterday, Sunday.

S240915bd comes – if it is not of terrestrial origin and actually comes from space – from the merger of a binary black hole at a distance of 2.2 billion light-years.

The sky position could not be determined very precisely because only one of the @LIGO detectors and Virgo were taking science data.
