people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

You know what I would love to see? I would love to see a longform piece explaining tariffs, trade deficits, their impact on economies, how they have been dealt with historically, and how to understand them so we all better understand what’s going on.

"The United States, our allies, and our partners worldwide are united in support of Ukraine in response to Russia’s premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified war against Ukraine.  We have not forgotten Russia’s earlier aggression in eastern Ukraine and occupation following its unlawful seizure of Crimea in 2014.  The United States reaffirms its unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, extending to its territorial waters. Ukraine is a key regional strategic partner that has undertaken significant efforts to modernize its military and increase its interoperability with NATO. It remains an urgent security assistance priority to provide Ukraine the equipment it needs to defend itself against Russia’s war against Ukraine. To date, we have provided $65.9 billion in military assistance since Russia launched its premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and approximately $69.2 billion in military assistance since Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014. We have now used the emergency Presidential Drawdown Authority on 55 occasions since August 2021 to provide Ukraine military assistance totaling approximately $27.688 billion from DoD stockpiles.[...]

They voted Bread and they got Circus.

I saw The Beaches of Agnès (2008) before I knew a thing about her or her work, and found her charming and compelling enough as a human to want to see her films. That's kind of backward, I know.

‘Intangible Heritage’ and How Cities Decide What to Preserve A gay bar. A bookstore. Fresh salt air. We could learn to preserve what matters most to people.

"Landmark laws across the country have come into existence to preserve things we deem culturally significant. But they don't always protect what we actually want to save," Michael Kimmelman, our architecture critic, writes.

They thought they were voting Bread, but clearly they were voting Circus.
