Ah, springtime in the DMV.

Chris, counterterrorism fellow and journalist in Ukraine, kindly invited me on his show. We’ll swap crock pot recipes and talk about the latest season of Love Is Blind.
This is a fine stopgap, however they are not yet within full compliance of the law and the weight of a judicial ruling would help secure the memorial against future tampering. Our lawsuit persists.

A lot easier to get to sleep while it's still dark and the birds aren't yelling.

Not the major takeaway but it's linguistically interesting how Trump has likely destroyed any cultural attraction to the sentence "Thank you for your attention to this matter" through repeated use.

For example, this one should have been a sly reference to Faulkner's "The Hunt."
The sweet lies we tell ourselves
BREAKING: We are calling on Rep. Shiela Cherfilus-McCormick to resign—who allegedly stole $5 million in federal disaster funds, using a portion of it to fund her 2021 campaign.
The evidence from the House Ethics Committee's investigation is damning.
Not letting the treadmill reset is next-level refusing to rerack your weights. It literally does it for you, just don't smash the emergency stop and bounce like a chump.
"Eric" is short for "Esoteric" (Esoterica if you're a lady).
I have been at work for 14 hours.
Legally they may have to, but I resent journalists referring to Jan 6th as a "riot". It may be technically accurate but I find it insufficient at best and misleading at worst.
"Riot" suggests spontaneity and chaos, while for many it was planned and very objective-oriented.
Netflix refused to carry the documentary The Sixth in 2024 because they didn't want to be seen as being political, so good chance Rice will be pressured to step down.
