Caving, pure and simple, and after all this time. You got bupkis.

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In my book I invented Gatsby lifestyle as a cautionary tale

The president: At long last, we have created the Gatsby lifestyle from the classic novel The Great Gatsby

A Monstrously Alluring Secret Comes to Light in This Eerie Short Story October's Lightspeed short story is 'Drosera regina' by A.L. Goldfuss, and it's perfect Halloween reading.

Oh????? My story is on Gizmodo!

So AP Swap was a great idea if I do say so myself.

Got to hear 3 shows I'd never heard before, got introduced to 2 new games and generally just had a great time.

Everyone got rated and reviewed. Just a good shake all round.

Shall I do it again tomorrow?

'grats!

Threw caution to the wind today and rode my bike around the war ravaged hellscape that is Portland Oregon. I must have gotten lucky as my most perilous encounter was an aggressive pass by a motorist on NE 7th

Couple of friends and I tried for a table in the pub a few weeks ago on a Tuesday and were informed that reservations had all the tables tied up "for a few hours"

Been looking forward to this!

yes! so looking forward to this

I'm guessing the Kristof offerings were bottled in NYC and lean to the right.

oooh, looking forward to it!

Molly Ivins, dressed in a sort of satin blouse with a neckthing that I'm going to call a scarf?. She's smiling with every cell in her body. Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time. Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display. Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote:
"I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

I revisit her "The fun's in the fight" article often and it never fails to set my head straight

The Fun’s in the Fight Even when you can't kick the bad guys where it hurts, you can still have a real gas trying.

I revisit this from time to time, and it always delivers

Prediction: the diverters will be removed, the undesired activity will move elsewhere, more diverters will be removed, rinse, repeat.

Sharrows are bullshit, I'd guess around 60% of PDX motorists don't even know what they are

I don’t know her super well but Jess is a badass, this is such an awful tragedy, safe streets for all, support Portland’s local women-owned bike businesses

Just think of the crush of future applicants to Columbia who have watched their actions and said to themselves "there's no better place in the world to learn bootlicking!"

Reading that list, I was beginning to expect it would conclude with:

A solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot
Or a baby's arm holding an apple

Finally watched the finale and it was terrific. What an amazing campaign. Thanks to everyone involved and please tell me there will be a season two?

Mean Biden didn't give them interviews so he deserved it.

TBH, I ride the Trolley Trail to Oregon City often I kinda don't understand the need for this? The decommissioned (but available to pedestrians and cyclists) bridge just East of there is, what, .5 miles away?

And you definitely do not want to be marked by D.I. Pettigrew for this infraction!

Hear hear! I'm on the last episode right now. The entire run has been fantastic, but the penultimate episode was so amazingly good. Truly inspired.

there's a good rooftop chase scene in there!

George Will carrying water for Rahm is all you need to know

Bummer. Though I continue to be encouraged that podcasts (and home automation) have so far defied the odds and escaped capture by a single entity.

And with the post season talkback recorded, that is a wrap on The Between.

So sad it’s over, but god damn am I glad to have shared a table with these magnificent bastards.

So good, I will be a bit sad when I finish the episodes.
