According to my Garmin, I got almost 18 hours of sleep the past two nights, but also according to my Garmin (and my groggy head), few of those hours made a difference. I take some of the blame for that, but on the other hand, someday I want to stay in a hotel room where I can control when the air conditioner turns on and off.
Anyway, while I slept fitfully, these stories passed through my inbox:
- EJ Dionne reminds us that the current Supreme Court has decided many more anti-democratic cases than just the one on abortion.
- Inae Oh wants the Democratic Party to stop relitigating 2016 and actually do something. I agree.
- With a little more than 9 months before the election, the Tribune lists the current and probable candidates for Mayor of Chicago.
- Amanda Mull explains how awful medieval life actually was, despite myths to the contrary.
- Jill Lepore tries to help Justice Alito (R) understand why the Constitution doesn't mention women.
And finally, good news for the Brews & Choos Project: Lagunitas plans to re-open their taproom later this year.
