CHRIS BRAY: What Blue Zone Collapse Looks Like: “In my last post, I said that the Blue Zones are functionally insolvent. ‘The well is dry.’ Several commenters responded with the observation that they’ve been hearing this story for twenty years or more, but the Blue Zones are still going, so what insolvency and collapse are you talking about? But the collapse of the Blue Zones doesn’t look like Enron or K-Mart; California doesn’t shut down. The state has 39 million golden geese to cut open. There’s a lot of ruin in a state. But the collapse remains real, and it’s already happening. It looks like this.”

DOUBLE-STANDARD JUSTICE: Authorities’ inaction on threats against Trump voters is alarming.

In America, threatening a voter with death is both unacceptable and a felony. In 2024, Pennsylvanians with Trump signs in their yards received anonymous, chilling death threat letters, a crime the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Pennsylvania State Police and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service are doing nothing about.

“We know where you live,” the menacing letters said. “You are in the database. In the dead of a cold winter’s night, this year or next and beyond, there is no knowing what may happen. Your property, your family may be impacted, your cat may get shot. And more.”

Why has no one been arrested, going on 15 months after these threats were made?

An orchestrated effort to threaten to kill Trump supporters unfortunately hasn’t seemed to matter to our appointed and elected guardians of American values. But it does matter to Americans who value our precious civil society.

History proves that threats of political violence are too often followed by actual political violence. Unfortunately, the institutions responsible for protecting civil society from political threats of violence in Pennsylvania have failed.

They could find who sent this, if they wanted to. They don’t want to.

I’D LIKE TO SEE A FOLLOWUP ON THIS 2022 STORY: AI programs can tell race from X-rays, but scientists don’t know how. Here’s why that’s bad. “There’s also the possibility that the results of the study show some innate difference between races. Alan Goodman, a professor of biological anthropology at Hampshire College and coauthor of the book “Racism Not Race,” told the Globe he is doubtful of this.”

Albanese had previously been sanctioned by the U.S. State Department, which accused her of ‘unabashed antisemitism’ and ‘support for terrorism.’”

To be fair, she is awful.
