Is it just me, or has CM Martinez been a huge disappointment? Thanks for the continued write-ups.

Yes, that is me. Same person. And thank you for the compliment.

I voted for you yesterday. We don’t know each other, but from one attorney to another I just liked your appellate background. Good luck.

I worry about you sometimes.

She was just so much damn fun to watch. She radiated joy and it was just so contagious.

Just curious: how big of a box does NBC have Tara Lipinski standing on to make her the same height as her co-commentators?

One of the best/most angering parts was one of the white Pro-ICE women speakers arguing with CM Evans-Shabazz about the broken tail light stops being racist in origin and practice.

Hoping that Will Power might be able to overcome Team Andretti’s issues and extract some type of revenge on Penske is literally the only reason I’m watching IndyCar this year.

Oops. But I’m sure Trent Reznor approved.

I’m guessing it wasn’t the radio edit?

The MLBPA has been a mess since Donald Fehr left in 2009. I don't know if it's now as bad as the NFLPA, but it has really fallen apart.

I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely

@minakimes.bsky.social I started watching The Traitors because I heard you talking about it and now I am hooked and I am anxiously awaiting next week’s episode.

It's okay to say that "none of these fools are worth your vote and as long as the party keeps running children we'll refuse to endorse."

As the mayor likes to shout whenever CM Pollard or Comptroller Hollins raise this issue, this is just politicizing the issue. There needs to be trust.

He's got a certain District I council member who gives him whatever he wants, so he doesn't really need to do any other East End engagement.

Unless those fixes involve bike lanes, wider sidewalks, better mass transit options, heavy trash pickup, non-ICE cooperation, not treating East End residents like third-world citizens, listening to someone other than business interests...

You and your Chron colleagues have done good work on Epstein/Baylor/Starr/Texas. Hopefully you get something a little more enjoyable to work on soon.

Do they get caught up in one of Frank and Charlie's schemes? Or do they run afoul of Dennis in some fashion?

Especially seeing as how the Bees are having a fantastic season and are in the fight to qualify for one of the European competitions next season.

Michael Bay sues Cadillac F1 for $1.5 Million, claims Super Bowl ad stole his ideas Cadillac will unveil its debut F1 livery through a Super Bowl ad on Feb. 8.

How do I know Cadillac didn't rip off Michael Bay ideas for this F1 car commercial? There are no explosions and there aren't 500,000 edits. www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...

I want the first act of the new Dem President, starting as soon as he/she is sworn in, to be a wrecking ball knocking down the walls of this thing.

Have you never been introduced to the joys of Neve Campbell, Natasha Henstridge, Cobie Smulders, etc?
