Horrible to think about yet perfectly descriptive.

birdquirks: "Birders aren’t known for being cool. This is partially due to the inherently obsessive nature of our hobby, but also because of the, um, obscure places we tend to visit. When was the last time your neighbor dropped by the local waste treatment plant just for the hell of it? Never. Because they are normal.” -Lucas Bobay -... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

Pack journalism ruled Washington in those days, with few reporters bothering to question the oppressive consensus in favor of the war. At dinner parties, at watering holes, in greenrooms, most journalists accepted the prevailing line, often acknowledging that it was the safest position. The motto appeared to be: “Better to be wrong along with... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

Our industrial civilization has been pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at a great rate. By the year 2000 we will have added about 70 percent more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. If it remained, it would have a very marked warming effect on the earth’s climate, but most of it will probably be absorbed by the oceans. Conceivably, however,... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

This recent phenomenon of “running for office” when really they’re sprinting for a book deal, TV show, or cinnamon-cure spokesman, has become its own commercial enterprise. If you’re a conservative public figure, the real money is in selling yourself as a presidential centerfold: Lots of airbrushing and shared pet peeves—all with a wink and a... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

If like many Americans you thought that Keep America Beautiful was an environmental group, you’d be mistaken. It was created by beverage and packaging executives in 1953. By organizing volunteer cleanups and running public service announcements, the group has over the past half century managed to present pollution as an aesthetic problem for which... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

The problem is that there’s lots of evidence that gentrification doesn’t benefit low-income people. The new arrivals mark the beginning of higher rent and offer no quick promises for better education. By the time the neighborhood has the chance to address these problems, it’s likely that all the people who needed assistance the most will be gone. - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

I don't think I know of anyone who actually believed that gentrification was good for the people who were already living there. - rønin
I've seen anecdotes about how "cleaning up the neighborhood" benefitted current residents, or people saying that the new storefronts brought in more jobs (ignoring that they often replaced other businesses that had just as many employees.) - Jennifer Dittrich
I've seen some occasional comments to that effect. - John (bird whisperer)

Every next day that I’m alive I see more and more people valuing what science means to the world and to them. I see more and more people rising up, no longer simply accepting fuzzy thinking in the world. There might have been a day, for example, where Bill O’Reilly would have said ‘tide goes in and out, and you can’t explain that,’ and it would... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

In getting to this point, Ms. Harris displayed what many associates described as a relentless political style that has marked her career, starting with her first election as the San Francisco district attorney.

“I want to be able to go out at the top of my game,” said Mr. Reid, who used a sports metaphor about athletes who try to hang on too long. “I don’t want to be a 42-year-old trying to become a designated hitter.” Mr. Reid’s tenure has become increasingly combative in recent years and included a procedural change on nominations that infuriated... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

Almost no one believes that airstrikes can either permanently destroy the nuclear capacity of the Islamic Republic, or bring the Tehran regime down.

We’ll soon get around to appreciations of what Reid accomplished and tried to accomplish, and an assessment of the contest to succeed him as Senate Democratic Leader (Chuck Schumer and Dick Durban are the most likely candidates). I think he will be most remembered as the Senator who finally began restricting the out-of-control use of the... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...
