Just as an aside, I would like to see various Democrats put into a video game engine where I can turn on low gravity and hit them with a physics gun with ragdoll effects. It'd be funny.

I like how all the moral panic about kids mental health during distance learning ignored that during normal times the US school system is a factory for mass killers.

I'm not a native speaker of one, so do gendered languages really conflate gender as a social role with grammatical gender other than adjectives agreeing with your social gender

like I'm from the midwest so "hey you guys need to quiet down" has no gender connotation to me even though the word 'guy' alone does. you have to say the etymology is problematic even tho the immediate phenomenological experience of hearing the word isn't

the vice president will take many calls and have many meetings

but we won't know with whom she's meeting:

quote:

The schedules for the president and vice president aren�t posted online. The White House comment line is shut down. There are no citizen petitions on the White House�s website.

The White House has committed to releasing visitor logs. But it doesn�t plan to divulge the names of attendees of virtual meetings, which are the primary mode of interaction until the coronavirus pandemic eases.

And while Biden has received kudos for keeping the American public informed, primarily by resuming the daily White House press briefings, he has yet to hold a news conference of his own.

�The steps they've taken are welcome, but insufficient to the moment and the need,� said Alex Howard, an open government advocate who directs the Digital Democracy Project at the Demand Progress Educational Fund, an arm of a left-leaning group. �They need to keep �showing their work� by opening Cabinet meetings, disclosing information and using political capital to emphasize that being �open by default� isn't just an option but an obligation across the government.�

For dozens of good government groups on the left and right, simply not being Trump is not enough. They are now urging Biden to do more, including fixing the very problems in transparency laws that his predecessor�s actions showed need fixing. That includes answering public records requests more quickly; publishing Office of Legal Counsel opinions; revising classification policies; and releasing logs of virtual meetings and physical meetings at other locations where the president and his aides travel.

***

Biden still has not held a news conference, even after meeting virtually with his first foreign leader, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as is tradition.

The White House did not respond to questions about certain policies, including the citizens petition and the comment line, but said that Biden is making transparency a priority.

�President Biden committed during the campaign to restoring ethics and transparency to government, and in his first weeks in office he�s taken significant steps to deliver on that, including by reinstating the daily press briefing, putting in place sweeping ethics guidelines for the administration, and pledging to regularly release visitor logs again,� spokesperson Mike Gwin said.

***

When Biden pledged to bring the logs back, it was seen as a reversion to the Obama norm. But Covid changed the basic concept of White House visitation and has altered expectations around what should be revealed.

Norm Eisen, who served as Obama�s ethics czar and spearheaded the report from Brookings, where he serves as a senior fellow, said Biden should release virtual visitor logs even though he understands the hurdles to disclosing online meetings, including the lack of a centralized, preexisting list of virtual visitors similar to the one Secret Service keeps for physical visitors. Still, he said the Biden administration could make the distinction to release video meetings for a certain number of attendees or for certain topics.

�For the Covid era when so much is being done remotely, there should be an accommodation for that,� he said.

The White House does provide readouts of some of the virtual meetings that Biden and other White House officials host, most recently with groups pushing for gun restrictions. The information, like the president�s and vice president�s daily schedule, is usually disseminated through an email list that has more than 10,000 recipients.

A White House official confirmed it would not release virtual logs. �Virtual meetings will not be subject to release � in the same way that previous administrations didn�t release phone logs � but we�re planning on regularly releasing the attendee lists for in-person meetings at the White House,� the official said.

Biden has also yet to restore the popular citizen petition program. Two years into his term, Obama launched the We the People page on the White House website to give the public a voice on what issues he should tackle. If a petition received more than 100,000 signatures it would get an official response within 30 days. More than 38 million signatures appeared on more than 473,000 petitions during Obama�s tenure.
