Confession of British spy for the Soviets made public for first time
Extracts from Kim Philby’s official confession to the UK’s security services in which he likens joining the Soviet secret police to signing up to the army, have been made public for the first time. Philby, one of the Soviet Union’s most notorious British cold war spies, fled to Moscow shortly after his 1963 admission of guilt. His confession, dated 11 January 1963, headed “secret”, has been published partially in the latest tranche of MI5 files to be released to the National Archives.

RIGHT-CENTER BIAS, MIXED
Kamala Harris and the Cult of the Presidency
Kamala Harris wants you to join her cult. But don’t worry: membership is voluntary — that is, unless a plurality of your fellow voters wants to join, in which case you’ll be automatically enrolled. You see, Harris’ cult is the “cult of the Presidency.” Coined by Gene Healy, the phrase describes the worship that so often accompanies what many Americans consider to be a grand, magisterial office from which all good things flow, and all evil seeks to corrupt. In their peculiar astronomy of this mindset, the Oval Office occupies the center of the universe. Everything revolves around it. The Presidency is a jealous god. It tolerates no competitors to its power. And neither does Kamala Harris.

Three Monroe Street Bridges. The wooden one, the steel one and this one, the elegantly arched concrete affair that is, let’s be honest, the greatest span in all the land.
