Through 3 of the Atkinson’s. Only 4. All English but voila a French phrase. Newspapers in French, with subtitles. Maybe the threat of Mr. Bean, but too dour. Janvier will flash a grin, Maigret nothing but accountancy dutifully and wearily performed. Cop you’d take the gun away from not follow

If Nora O’Donnell had clubbed him with her chair, some would claim she went easy. He was revealed as what he is by his own answers and statements, to questions that had been pre cleared by his staff. Sometimes a great interview is just let them talk

Ugly? In a checkout line behind a women with a little boy eying the candy display. She looks at him, takes one and presents her SNAP card. The cashier checks, in Georgia it’s okay. Trust me the kid was getting the candy, but ugly is what we did to the mom, and the cashier, and to ourselves

District Crime Data at a Glance 2025Β Year-to-Date Crime Comparison* As of October 31, 2025

By all measures, crime is continuing a several year down turn. You can verify with @jeffasher.bsky.social or with MPDC’s public data. It’s not β€œno crime,” but you’re safer in DC with no Guard than a 15 year old girl was working in the spa at Mar-A-Lago.

Not me, my #Navy. Sampan enters free fire zone early. We’re coming out of joint night ambush. Daytime, no fire - fishing area. SF on board. Kill? No, you drink coffee. I’ll board. BoCap puts PBR alongside. Search and question. Mama San and boy, all cool. Scold. As trained and expected. Are we lost?

Ronald Reagan being a pain in the ass again this week. This year’s award recognizes work done in 1984-1985. Switch out the nuclear codes for a TV changer for the sake of mankind

Can you pass the new U.S. citizenship test? The federal government rolled out a longer, harder exam this month for aspiring Americans. Test your knowledge with our quiz.

There are days I think that students should not graduate high school until they can pass the citizenship test - the prior easier version would do.

I’d like to see more granular analysis of what mediums deliver trusted information to people IRL. Could be β€œFair Trade in Pork,” in Pork Belly Farmer is worth 5 Joe Rogans. Half the current analysis of what will make me give $10 might pay better returns-and be less annoying

With any of these conditions, arguably the β€œduty to warn” is a consideration. As is report to whom? Who could or would take action to prevent the harm in the current accumulation of toadies and powerless?

@gelliottmorris.com has the data. I quibble that if D’s don’t have the negative positions he notes they don’t reject them as party planks loudly enough to shed the accusations. Defunders vote, you know, don’t offend. I also wonder if $ubscribed media is reaching deeply into working class homes.

Spade in France with a winery. More akin to Holmes in β€œHis Last Bow.” Haven’t been to France in decades. Appreciate when we get snippy, they don’t remind us that without them we would not be us.

The streaming dragon indeed. Have to order appetizers from restaurant A, soup from B, main from C. Each with a cover charge. I’m all over podcasts, newsletters, and Substacks as well, and occasionally grump that this used to come efficiently and cost effectively in a newspaper.

Trump had his last Oct. 10. He posts RFK advice; doesn’t trust it

One equation (not diagnosis) which so many are familiar with is family history, age, observed memory/cognitive issues, MRI, Leqembi, love, care, and hope pitted against RFK Jr.

Less β€œfor” and β€œto” , more β€œwith” would seem helpful. Less judgement of who benefits and delivery of benefits wanted. And, given Franken and Platner (so far), less self asphyxiation with the pearls. With all the tail winds and dire threats, the party of Wuss is not as Murrow noted, the party of us

I’m in the Atlanta area. Since I donate to my local PBS station I have access to the PBS TV app which has them all available to stream. Did you watch Monsieur Spade? Pulling for a season 2 on that as well

Afraid to ask who cleans this up if Trump meets actuarial or electoral reality and the β€œdonors” scoot. Or if he stiffs the contractors.
