Maybe. I’d say becoming galactically wealthy had more to do with it.

Car hit the building. You can see the tire tracks in the second pic.

Anyway, they’re getting what they actually paid for:

Also, just because he turned out to be stupid and wrong doesn’t change the donors’ intent, or the fact that they’re buying access, or that the people inside aren’t unjustly enriching themselves through insider trading and selling access.

Saying it’s not “all about the oligarchy” is no different than people saying zoning reform is “not a panacea,” or “won’t solve the housing crisis.” You’re right. It’s not all about the oligarchy. It just mostly is, or at least largely is.

Definitely describes me. Not a catholic or religious person at all really, but admired the man more than maybe any politician I’ve ever known and sad to see him go.

Pondering and sharing the world's grief over Pope Francis's passing, I'm reminded of Andrew Sullivan's comment that many non-Catholics were blown away by Francis because they hadn't intimately seen a genuine Christian before.

Me in a car on 395: God this sucks. Worst part of my day.

Most annoying characters in a children’s television show:

3. Everyone else

A headline that reads "Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change".

Four maps. 2015, 2017, which shoe substantial pollution, 2020 which shows it reduced a good deal, and 2024 which shows it reduced even more

Did he hit the free throw? Because it’s not an “and-1” unless you also get the 1.
(he did not)

Other than Kieran Culkin winning an Oscar for playing himself, I liked the show.
Anora is a beautiful movie. That a story that robust can be completely conveyed in 2 hours is why I lack the patience for prestige TV.

I really hate when they go to the booth and its a green screen of an empty Bourbon St with the crowd muted.

You’re absolutely right. I should have said it’s lame to call anyone (not just these two brown guys with non-Anglo names) who disagrees with you and believes DEI programs are counterproductive an opportunist who doesn’t care about racism.

I agree with all that. I don’t think that describes the people quoted in the article. I think they simply sincerely believe what they say in the article: DEI programs are counterproductive to their stated goals.

The best part about beating the pub trivia champs from 9 other DC-area bars and winning the 2024 Supercup was seeing our enemies driven before us and hearing the lamentations of their women.

Watched Anora last night. 10/10. No notes. Just a perfect story.

Two straight runs there. That was some playoff McDermott.

20 yards at this point is worth it. That ball hit the ground.

That’s a Mahomes call for a hit on a running back that was, at most, 0.02 seconds late.

Just watched a ~ 5’8 female @dcpolicedept.bsky.social officer chase down and tackle a 6’4 guy outside the Hechinger mall Ross. I was on a run at the time. Granted I was on mile 5, but she blew by me at double pace. It was freakishly athletic. Very impressive.

My kid fell on this this morning. My kingdom for competent code enforcement.

Good chart from Lance Lambert showing the increase in housing inventory in FL/TX since 2019 vs the decrease in inventory in the northeast and Midwest:

And despite the offense being a strength, seemingly every game, we had a chance to close it out on offense and did not.

Still, I look around the league, and we could do so, so much worse.

👆 I’d say he’s about 60th percentile of NFL coaches.

My personal bugaboo was how often, despite him being a pretty good play caller, we did not pick up third and shorts.

Spa day.
