project managers: the enemy of lunch

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

There’s a lot that is horrible and stupid about the war with Iran but if Donald Trump’s misbegotten military adventurism accelerates the green transition it will be deeply, deeply funny.

A pro-Susan Collins super PAC keeps running this ad with corporate lobbyist & former House GOP Leader Ellie Espling going on about how Collins cured her cancer or something. Let's look at Ellie's record in the Maine House on health care:

I got 12 weeks (at full salary so there's that at least) and that's considered REALLY GOOD and not at all mandatory

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Mr. Mamdani's tax returns contained none of the splash of some of his predecessors', particularly those released by former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, a billionaire whose staff would every year usher the media into his accountant's office, where they would learn how many homes he owned (at one point, they numbered 12). Mr. Mamdani, in contrast, lived with his wife in a rent-stabilized apartment in Astoria in Queens before moving to Gracie Mansion in January. His financial disclosure statement also said he owns property in Uganda. The tax returns for Mr. Bloomberg's successor, Bill de Blasio, were more anodyne. During his first year as mayor, Mr. Mamdani's predecessor, Eric Adams, put off releasing his tax returns for months, a situation he blamed in part on his hiring an accountant who he said subsequently became homeless. He ultimately released them that October.
