Writers Guild Awards: Winners List 'Sinners,' 'One Battle After Another,' 'The Pitt,' 'The Studio' and 'Dying for Sex' were among the winners at the Roy Wood Jr.-hosted ceremony, held Sunday night in New York.

Delighted that the #WGAAwards for best writing for an animated series went to Mehar Sethi for the LONG STORY SHORT (Netflix) episode β€œShira Can’t Cook." just a wonderful, sweet, funny, sad half-hour about parents and children, food and faith.

Fetterman was to the left of Lamb on every single issue on which they disagreed. And Lamb campaigned as bring a centrist Dem.

I voted for my friend Malcolm Kenyatta, knowing Fetterman was going to win. If it were only Fetterman and Lamb, I'd have voted Fetterman on ideological grounds.

I think the Inquirer article to which I linked contains the multiple contradictory perspectives on what happened there, including from the jogger himself.

That article reflects, and the politics of the time reflected, a mix of sincere and insincere reactions to the incident. These articles are peppered with quotes from leaders who weren't supporting Fetterman for other reasons regardless.

I don't discount the sincere ones.

You are free to disagree. But I knew John personally. He wasn't LARPing as a progressive for over a decade. You can view the jogger incident however you want; it still doesn't prove what you might think it does.

I was John's lawyer for his 2016 and 2018 campaigns. We spoke regularly. What you say is not true; he was an authentic progressive, but I do think his various health issues changed him.

Regardless, I do not support Platner in this race.

Hotchkiss is rough? Compared to Andover, *maybe*?

And removing a tattoo years and years later is not immediate.

Worth reading, especially for those of us who've wondered why Marge Gunderson never mentions Mike Yanagita to her husband, let alone why she primps herself for that lunch meeting.

Blue MAGA is no healthier than Original Recipe MAGA.

By way of reminder, we started a recount in Pennsylvania because of the close US Senate race. It confirmed the count was accurate, so definitively that Sen. Casey pulled the plug before it ended.

Fetterman was the Lieutenant Governor, and he suffered a stroke during that 2022 campaign and mental health issues after.

Democrat enters race to challenge Maine Sen. Susan Collins Costello, 65, previously worked at USAID, which provides help to foreign nations and was a senior aide to the Maine Secretary of State, mayor of Baltimore, and governor of Maryland.

I don't support Platner, for many reasons. Qualifications are one.

And Costello is just Some Dude with no money, a perennial office-seeker. www.fec.gov/data/committ...

I think that threshold was crossed when the Big 10 and Big 12 had more than 10 and 12 members, respectively.

Because none of the others have real credentials for this office.

Problem is that the filing deadline is nearing. The field is the field. People have to vote among the choices available.

UCLA being in the Big Ten will never not feel incredibly wrong.

(To be sure, I also still want Syracuse and Pitt to be in the Big East.)
