Not versed in this are of law, but would it be possible to get an order prominently posting at the golf course/Kennedy Ctr, etc., that court orders prohibit XYZ and that anyone (meaning workers) acting otherwise are subject to the order? Might idle some chain saws and bulldozers at the actual sites.

A picture of Elon Musk, via the London Economic. The quote says “If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.“ – Nathalie Robin Justice.

Got the pangram, maybe because my dad took me to see it acted out at Yale in -- I'm gonna say 1969, at a tender age for me to see such stuff. Meanwhile, so far today I'm being told my level of achievement is "Nice" which is kind of passive-aggressive for a word game, n'est pas?

Alan Watts said we only notice our body parts when something's wrong with them. The same holds for the body politic. The disease at the head of ours has spread to all its organs. It hurts all the time. There's a cure available but even if we take it, as we must, recovery will be long and difficult.

Couple of things: 1. I was that kid so that stings a little. At least I didn't grow up to be ... whatever it is this guy grew up to be; & 2. Awed how his consultants convinced him that 3-6 word bullet points > than his usual gazillion-word speedgabbing gobbledygook. That must've been a tough sell!

2. Like it or not, the quality (and in some cases the very being) of our lives are riding on this race, and the horses are rounding the final turn, so what would have been speculative nonsense 6 months ago is meaningful analysis now.

Joel Kaye @joelkaye.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Yes, it's a horse-race piece in a sea of horse-race pieces, but 2 things make it worth the read: 1. It's Bill Scher, so in addition to great analysis you get a perfect line like "But Trump has too much main character energy to realize how badly he has lost the plot."

Gloria Steinem, Personification of the Women’s Movement, Dies at 92 (Gift Article)

She challenged sexist assumptions, helping women develop a sense of self-worth and gain a measure of equality at work, at home and in society at large.

You can tell it's an old image because months ago the artless criminals had the gold-ish columns painted white -- a true detriment to the building's aesthetic. It's one of the few things the mad king hasn't peed gold on, and one of the few things gold had enhanced.

Trump rambling on and on about construction materials and projects because he was once (sort of) builder in the face of multiple world crises is like if Harry S. Truman had babbled daily about fabrics, thread, suit alterations, and double vs single breasted suits because he was once a haberdasher.
