Got a wedding invitation a few years ago that literally said, in print, "there is street parking at the venue. This isn't Chicago, we live in a civilization" - husband and i were stunned into silence. What absolutely unnecessary nonsense.

The UP-NW Metra should go to Madison

📣 New paper drop!

A random aside about what and why I think so many people in formal orgs are doing this:

1. Remember the neologism “intrapreneur”? God awful word but its politics were even uglier. It tried to brand the externalization of risk from state/firm to workers as SEXY.

do you know how bad you have to be as president to make the Luka to Lakers thing the 2nd dumbest trade related news of the last 24hrs

Retaliatory tariffs are all right and good but if Canada, Mexico and the EU want to get this over with sanctioning the hell out of Trump’s oligarchs seems like a force multiplier.

The president of the United States is having his strongest political ally - a mega-billionaire who was never elected to anything - personally visit various federal agencies and take down their public data and commandeer their sensitive computer systems.

The president of the United States is purging anyone from the FBI that ever investigated him or any of his allies - roughly half the agency. He is firing all federal prosecutors who ever investigated him or his allies. He is ignoring the law to seize control of all federal funds.
