Clearly we need entire verticals dedicated to this person at the Atlantic and CBS News.

Learned this living in Chicago in winter when it was usually a good bet weather will delay flights later in the day (when I’d have a booking) but people wouldn’t show up for the 6AM that was too expensive before.

Fly standby! Just roll up to the earlier flight’s departure gate and get on the list. If enough people moss their flight (there’s always someone) or they are underbooked, voila.

Undiscussed benefit of arriving at the airport early—there’s always the chance you can catch an *earlier* flight to your destination!

Before he was Pope, even! a.co/d/0cHLUkSy

So what you’re really saying is the nephew instead of the uncle, an adventurer who hides his trivial and repulsive features behind the iron death mask of Napoleon.

@ianmhartshorn.com tipped me off to this long ago.

He’s probably not the first Pope to have done so! Benedict co-authored a book with Habermas!

It will be that long before the picks they receive mature, so that sounds wise.

End the Giannis era… and begin the Tyler Herro era…

That’s grim.

We wonder why Joel Embiid keeps getting freak injuries when the owners invite nazar like this?

I’ve maybe invested too much in this sports team, and there are more openly scummy owners out there, but Harris is really a bottom barrel VC heel.

There needs to be a move to get Josh Harris out of the Sixers.

Yes, when it was just one, the Lille baby worked… until they outgrew it and the siblings came along.

My baptism as a new yorker was when my 1 year old vomited all over me in the Lille baby on the A train and I was able to clean it up and complete a full change between 125 and Columbus circle.

Public schools start at 3! 12 weeks of paid parental leave! Childcare workers are plentiful and not any more expensive than the suburbs! So. Many. Playgrounds!

And yet leaving your neighborhood requires D-Day level logistics.

I took 3 babies around in Manhattan during our time there. It’s amazing how quickly you mentally map the accessible subway line, how much earlier you need to leave, how far out of your way you need to walk. NYC was far better for my young family than I ever imagined but really for this one thing!

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.

And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.

And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.

And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

A good day to remind people that, around 2000 or so, Edward Said began routinely telling journalists and editors in his interviews that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory was now the longest in modern world history, after having surpassed the Japanese occupation of Korea.

True in the long run, but there probably was a tradeoff in making these things luxury goods to begin with when more investment in phevs might’ve reduced overall emissions earlier. I was able to lease a phev in my 20s, for instance.

We have one phev and one ice for these purposes but really isn’t the issue here that putting one full on EV in every driveway would be just as big an environmental problem as we have now, only vis-a-vis minerals? Realizing this turned me into a phev lifer.

As long as the #Lebanon ceasefire lasts the Strait of Hormuz will be open, #Iran's Foreign Minister announces.

Censorship and Surveillance at US Universities The night before the start of the Fall 2025 semester, facilities workers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill quietly boarded up a pro-Palestine mural. The mural, created by art…

As frustrated as I’ve been with Klein at times, this interview was excellent.
