Package theft has leveled up in Crown Heights - we got a guy on video dressed in a USPS uniform and carrying mail breaking in to the USPS lockbox to get in. Hardest part for him seems to have been that our lobby door looks like it should be a pull door but it's actually a push. Yay dark patterns?

And the audiobook, read by Farrow, is an enjoyable cavalcade of bad accent work

It would also give *Ryan Lizza*—who could, in theory, have leaked this info at any point over the last 12-16 months—a role in both RFK’s appointment and the untold preventable deaths. But Lizza either isn’t self aware enough to realize that or is too busy selling Substack subscriptions to care

Hey now- it’s hypocrisy, not a grift. She has as much right to that pension she never would have voted to approve as every other wackjob in Congress

Not cool, passage of time. Not cool at all.

By God, that’s @clivethompson.bsky.social’s music!

I thought we didn’t talk about Bruno?

This is the first time I've seen anybody state openly that the final stage of a procurement process is to have the president select the proposal that he prefers. This isn't a return to some older, more corrupt U.S. procurement approach—federal procurement has *never* worked like this.
