It's only the working class of this city that is ever told to take a haircut in hard times.

would be cool to have a mayor who doesn't solely communicate to city council via veto letters

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

My only aging advice is take care of health stuff (even little things) as soon as you think of it. (Why did I wait so long to go to an allergist.) Stretch & move regularly.

Aside from the physical basics, just keep doin' your thing. Don't psych yourself out. Maintain friendships with younger ppl.

Sorry St. Paul, but "Edgecumbe Road" sounds dirty.

The general approval rating of Draft Kings and Fan Duel among normal people is probably pretty negative, but in a sort of obvious way.
Some of us participate in it. Almost all of us find its ubiquity in sports annoying. Most nof us see it as a net negative but just accepting that fact is enough to sort of not investigate any further, the way people can kind of say "politicians are corrupt" and then not follow their local races or propositions.

fo his week’s My Time Back, i wrote about @dannyfunt.bsky.social ‘s Everybody Loses, why i think it’s the most important sports book this decade, my own gambling addiction, and why i’m glad it was an illegal bookie who got their hooks in me mytimeback.beehiiv.com/p/everybody-...

NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

Oh yeah, the aggregator sites don't get any nuance of tone at all.

And let's hear it for the mixed review, which provides its own kind of context as well. I love all the reviews!

Agree that if you can't tell what a critic values, a pan isn't especially useful.

And a positive review means more when you know what the critic thinks is bad.

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheahan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

Wild story from @washingtonexaminer.bsky.social:
ICE "wasted millions" to buy "thousands of employee vehicles that the agency cannot use to arrest illegal immigrants"

The problem: the vehicles are marked with ICE logo and motto

“ICE has never had marked vehicles,” person familiar said
