Yes, personnel is key—and personnel decisions aren't made by Frank. He's among the personnel, and he can only manage the players available to him. Our midfielders don't pass.

Wolves didn't try to park the bus, but defended well. Tchatchoua looks very strong defensively.

L.A. Confidential

Klein: And the stakes of politics are almost always incredibly high. I think they happen to be higher now. And I do think a lot of what is happening in terms of the structure of the system itself is dangerous. I think that the hour is late in many ways. My view is that a lot of people who embrace alarm don't embrace what I think obviously follows from that alarm, which is the willingness to make strategic and political decisions you find personally discomfiting, even though they are obviously more likely to help you win. Taking political positions that'll make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didn't want it open to before. Running pro-life Democrats.

Ezra’s claim here runs into the challenging fact that abortion rights are more popular than Democrats in red states

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

Epstein List.

Concur. Ange can't directly succeed Nunu—a Conte interregnum must be observed.

We were hopeless when Levy took over.
He isn't perfect, but he's built Spurs into a world-class club.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can spread the word?

How does one reclaim privacy?

Relentless negativity can wear you down.

But it's part of Spurs' fan culture so I'm not ready to block people for their pessimism. I'm sorry it's reached that point for you.

Dems can't organize because the party doesn't have an agenda—unless "oppose GOP" is considered an agenda.

No central principle around which to rally.

What has Thomas Frank accomplished? Spurs haven't really made progress since finishing 17th last season.

We should sack him NOW!

Ad hominem judgment is rightly regarded as an informal fallacy that diverts us from the merits of a dispute to the (irrelevant) merits of a participant in it. But who among us does not save time and effort by denouncing bad faith public figures on whom we gave up years ago?

Yes, this. It's the economy, stupid.

Difficult to pare it down to five:

My Man Godfrey
Mr Smith Goes to Washington
All About Eve
Dr Strangelove
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

The club with the best squad wins trophies. A club with a weaker squad blames the manager.
I blame the manager.

This was always a (long overdue) rebuilding process. Last year's fast start was misleading.

We haven't had a competitive squad. Assuming Ange is at fault for that, and assuming he's had adequate time & resources to assemble a better squad, he should be sacked.

Perhaps Ange's decisions—and the team's performances—haven't been affected by the injuries.

2008-2012 isn't nostalgia. It's the day before yesterday.

Perhaps he's getting slower but compensates by running faster?

Good scripts with excellent dialog. Great actors. Hard to imagine they can sustain this level.

It does get better. Patience is very difficult, but there's no substitute.

Online yes, I'm reading lotsa despair.
But people I actually talk to are pretty patient. (So far.)

And the documents include a letter from the chief of national police to the Attorney General stating that Gvir went over his head and secretly instructed his deputy to not protect the convoys. Ben Gvir is now attempting to promote that deputy to chief of police.

Bothsidesism. What's the benefit of giving a megaphone to someone who's been consistently wrong?
