Top blogging in August

At No. 1 was an old one from 2018, highly relevant with last Sunday's Movement for a People's Party convention, and that is "Roses, sunflowers and red flags on Twitter." Roses being the DSA Roseys, ie, Berniecrats as today's Roseys, behind MPP, sunflowers being the Greens (which I am for now) and red flags being socialists, which I am of some sort, or communists, which I will never be.

Speaking of? No. 2 was "Fuck the Movement for a People's Party."

No. 3, from early in August, was "Georgia schools get an F on COVID after one week."

No. 4 is an old favorite, trending again: "Timothy Treadwell was really fricking nuts." And he was!

No. 5 is from just this last week, about The Three Sleezekeeters of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, state Sen. Pat Fallon and state Rep. Drew Springer on the timing of a special election to fill Fallon's seat.

No. 6? One with personal relevance. I dissected Kroger's Kabuki theater PR bullshit over the coronavirus, masks, and "Kroger Andy" in Louisville. (I've started boycotting Kroger.)

No. 7? As I know professionally, because they're not going to save mail in general, No, FedEx and UPS aren't going to save mail voting.

No. 8 and 9 are related. No 8 is my discussion of "Coronavirus 2021 and beyond," starting with the fact that we WILL NOT have a vaccine both safe and effective by the end of this year.

No. 9 was this week's installment of my split version of the Texas Progressives roundup, looking at coronavirus, reinfection, Deborah Birx a Trump toady again, Stephen Hahn maybe starting to be, and much more.

No. 10? It's about how both L//l-libertarians and neoliberal Democrats refuse to recognize the fact that behavioral economics undercuts their economic ideas base.
