I hate casinos. No temptation to sports gamble. For unknown reasons, recently got a Kalshi account and started betting on which words would be used in political speeches. Yes, that’s a thing. Made a little money but quit after a week because it’s all so fucking stupid.

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

So much better than Hamilton.

I like it, though the e3 twist was somewhat expected and disappointing. A lot of inconsistency with watching for tails or bugs.

They’re almost all terrible. The guy to his left is doing the bad swings you’ll see from a moderately competent Crossfitter. Honestly these make me laugh less than Hegseth’s atrocious 75-lb power cleans that rightwing media tried to portray as an example of toughness.

Not a movie but Arrested Development. Realized Jason Bateman is actually worst person in the family.

The antagonist in 2 is one of the good guys who becomes part of Russel Crowe’s crew in Gladiator.

No-show appointments are super expensive for the docs and health systems, so there’s a lot of pressure to eliminate them. One of biggest sources of waste. Which I agree becomes super annoying as a patient/consumer when they want 7 confirmations.

This is better than the previous
one where he was struggling with 75 lbs in terrible front rack.

The weird thing about the Hesgeth workout videos is he actually seems to be pretty out of shape despite the seeming lean muscles. Could not Rx a Crossfit workout.

They are treating America like it is Iraq circa 2007. Surge of armed forces in what they think are hostile cities, while the administration lives in the protected Green Zone. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Agree. Excellent in the underseen Tailor of Panama.

I know it’s a cliche that the best Brosnan Bond film is The Thomas Crown Affair, but it’s true!

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

Version of original on left, updated on right:

Yogurt shop murders solved 34 years later with DNA testing, APD says Authorities say DNA testing solved the 1991 “I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt” murders of four teens, closing one of Austin’s darkest chapters.

Holy shit, they solved the Yogurt Shop Murders

Listened to the Ezra Klein-Ben Shapiro podcast, where Shapiro tried to argue that Obama and Biden showed authoritarian shifts equiv to Trump. Can’t tell if these guys actually believe this stuff, or it’s tactical. Increasingly seems like the former.

Not enough ppl talk about what Crichton did to a negative reviewer. See example 1 here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_p...

First read the third element as LinkedIn, which set decidedly different expectations.

The Flower Mound location on this is perfect.

LA is expensive, but the NYC apartment equivalent of a $2.7m house is > $4k/month.

Put Condor on that same list.

White Catholics at Lent

Even the “bad” later seasons are pretty good.

What about how 98% of nonfiction books should be about 75 pages long?

Good list. Tailor of Panama is underrated/underseen.
