4:50 a.m. — Carmen arrives at the airport for her 6:15 a.m. flight.
4:53 a.m. — Carmen heads to security early, because she doesn’t have TSA PreCheck, CLEAR, or the subscription service where a man in a suit carries you, piggyback, to the front of the line.

THE BELIEVER: You’ve been in the poetry and publishing worlds for some thirty years now. What changes have you seen in that time?
KEVIN YOUNG: I think poetry itself has broadened and deepened. What I see, having edited The New Yorker anthology, is the way that poetry really, in the past forty years, has exploded in terms of who’s publishing and who’s able to publish and the outlets for publishing. At the same time, it once felt like there was a different kind of robust, smaller-press life, and you had these different outlets and magazines, some of which I miss. But in general, I think there are a lot of people writing who were always writing, but who are now getting published more.
Doctor Who spinoff The War Between the Land and the Sea will simultaneously hit BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 8:30 pm on December 7th.
You know me as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Over the past three years, I’ve tried changing the system from within. I’ve written increasingly urgent court opinions. I’ve even deployed symbolism. For President Trump’s second inauguration, I wore a massive cowrie-shell collar honoring my African ancestry and the strength and ingenuity it requires to overcome America’s darkest days. Nothing gets through to you people.
In the last court term, I wrote ten dissenting opinions, more than any other justice. Have you previewed the horror show on the docket for this term? Alito just winked at me and asked if it’s too soon to joke that I don’t have the brain processing power to do this job.

TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak warns that tech and media billionaires are threatening our democracy, as they campaign to destroy the BBC
Speaking to Sky News, Wes Streeting dismissed reports that he was manoeuvring to topple and replace Keir Starmer. ‘Nor did I shoot JFK,’ he protested. ‘I had nothing to do with Shergar, and I don’t think the moon landings are fake.’ Two hours later, however, the New Statesman suggested the rumours were more conspiracy fact […]
When the SNP first took the reins of power in Holyrood, Alex Salmond and his Cabinet promised to heed the words of Alasdair Gray inscribed on the Scottish Parliament’s Canongate Wall. ‘Work as if you live in the early days of a better nation,’ wrote the Glaswegian author, paraphrasing the Canadian poet Dennis Lee.

It’s been so long, you sometimes forget that eventually, IT will HAPPEN.
It’s impossible to say when IT will HAPPEN. But it can’t be too long until IT HAPPENS. Looking at the data (age, high-stress job, cardiac history), it is statistically plausible that IT will HAPPEN in the next thirty-six months.
Eighteen, if you factor in hamburger consumption and all the weird bruising.
Of course, it doesn’t feel right to want IT to HAPPEN. And it’s obviously not okay to try to make IT HAPPEN. That’s not what this is ABOUT, just to make things CLEAR LEGALLY as far as VARIOUS AGENCIES are concerned.
But regardless, IT is going to HAPPEN. So you’re allowed to think about IT.
