I know the Trump 1500% thing is laughably innumerate, but WTF is even talking about wrt drug prices? What has he done to lower them at all?

I feel absolutely awful for the mom in that article. I also think the journalist did us a disservice by holding off until near the end the fact that the school was having financial difficulties.

As a now former member of a board of an independent school, this was always a source of *great* consternation.

I just read Derek Thompson's Substack article on GLP-1s. I am a coastal elitist, but I really wish he and other writers would cite their sources. There's an occasional footnote or link, but there's no way he just happens to know all the stuff that he wrote, and I would like to verify or learn more.

We need a Roberto Clemente or Tony Gwynn of the left.

I know Paul O'Neill used it as his batting walk-up song, but Baba O'Riley is my answer.

I sort of read it as the league trying to play nice with the other cities while also not shooting down a move to Boston.

I am going to go see about a car that I don't need until January but could be less expensive if I get it now. Tariffs, tax credits, etc. Taking some educated guesses here.

If we are going full "opposite", what is the opposite of sociopathic monster? I am not sure a Mother Theresa type gets it done.
