Why I'm Writing About Travel Photography (And What This Newsletter Is About) On photography, place, and the art of paying attention

Legal poker rooms in the nation's capital? It's on the table DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is eyeing potential taxes on revenue from poker, black jack and bingo venues

I don't write up breaking news too often but @mayorbowser.bsky.social's proposal to bring legal #poker and blackjack to the nation's capital caught my eye. #DC #pokersky pokerbook.substack.com/p/legal-poke...

The NBA should 100 percent find a way to make this happen randomly in real games.

I remember that! fun times.

On the eve of this year's WSOP, all eyes are on Scott Seiver The Poker Hall of Fame beckons the defending WSOP Player of the Year but will he get the call this year?

Will Malignant Stupidity Kill the World Economy? Trump’s tariffs are a disaster. His policy process is worse.

Stay calm and read @pkrugman.bsky.social. Oh shit, so much for calm. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/will-carel...

After Unveiling Tariff Plan, Trump Will Abandon White House Early Today for Miami Golf Club Trump will then spend the night at Mar-a-Lago

Trump is set to leave the White House early today to go to his Florida golf club after setting the economy on fire with his devastating tariff announcement.

Apparently, “America First” is another way of saying “America Alone.”

We are celebrating black history month at my daughter’s school. You can’t erase history with executive orders.

Obviously a staged ambush. I can't ever recall a VP sitting in on one of these oval office media gaggles. #standwithUkraine

Really it’s hard to keep track #allthebestpeople

Good book. My biggest takeaway: You need to know the difference between decisions and results. You can make a good decision and have bad results. And vice versa.

Fear, loathing and Vegas 20 years after Hunter S. Thompson's death The desert oasis is still humping the American Dream

Back in 2005, a few days after #huntersthompson killed himself, I posted a remembrance that, thematically, was off. I let the outrageousness of his life distract me from deeper meanings. Hopefully, I've corrected that error today. #poker pokerbook.substack.com/p/fear-loath...

Craig have you taken a position on changing Florida's name to MoonPieTown?

Remembering "Miami John" Cernuto He leaves a poker legacy of being an ironman of the game.

Me: (channelling my inner Bobby Womack): I'm from the streets, baby. I grew up across 110th Street.

Wife: I used to live in a dorm that looked out on 110th Street.

Me: Did you ever see me?

Day 3 is done.

So now we have the answer to the trivia question: name one thing Trump did in his 2nd term that wasn't completely bonkers? (not that he actually has the legal authority to do this)

Autogolpe What’s really happening beneath the Musk/Trump chaos

Don't just ask how Musk/Trump actions serve their supposed purposes. Ask how they aid the attempt to seize power paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe

The divorce will cost me much more.

Damn! I've pumped a lot of money into this machine back in the day.

The big question is at what point would I lose my nerve to make the next bet? After day 11, I'd be up to $3,072 and on day 15 at $49,152. I think the exit ramp would be somewhere in between.
