Here’s the roster of umpires for the first set of series. I have no idea who 90% of these umps are. 20 years ago i could’ve named 100%. Standardization has sawed off the edges of their talent and personalities. Probably a good thing I shouldn’t really know who these guys are.

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils. Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now.

Dig your use of Accountability here. I for real think, similar to "fake it til you make it", even if a bit tongue in cheek, when we call it accountability, it starts to behave like accountability. And so far the right hasn't tried to convert the word into some bastardized mockery of itself...

I'm always here for dunking on cowboy hats, about the only item of Cosplay I actively disdain. But this is an elevated, elite-tier diss: the cowboy hat for 50yrs has "symbolized faux-self-reliance subsidized by an intricate web of government policies."

So if you're gonna assert that 'the polls are apocalyptic for Republicans', I'm just gonna insert 'sexy' into its proper spot as a prefix for apocalyptic, ignore all the rest, and just walk away newly joyful.

The polls right now are apocalyptic for Republicans but also that is exactly what we should expect. Leave aside everything, Trump's approval rating right now is -20.4 per Nate Silver, in his first term on the same date it was -12.6. It's the single most unpopular a president has been on midterm 9/18

The Iran war is just about the least online issue. Destruction and forced disruption to energy markets is physical. Denial of this is very online—govt, media, finance—but Americans notice the impact offline at gas stations, so the lies are failing. Cruz manages to be the exact opposite of right.

A decade ago, if you aimed to predict Supreme Court decisions, which has proven a better heuristic? 1) Follow legal text and precedent according to a logically consistent judicial philosophy 2) Ignore or distort law to maximize GOP/right-wing power while mitigating risks of future court expansion

I adore these contextual qualifiers. Actually, I adore most reporting that includes at least a passing nod to behavioral psychology, even if it's *only about Incentives. Immediately throwing them into my How to Talk to My Friends About CFB file.
Some more context to keep in mind:

    Few people inside a college football program building know their school’s exact numbers. And even if they do, many don’t feel comfortable sharing it, even anonymously.

    Even if they do talk to a reporter, coaches will often undersell their own budgets. This may be to temper fans’ expectations or to keep their players from asking for even more money.

    School administrators, on the other hand, have the opposite incentive. They want people to think their number is higher than it really is, which makes them look like great fundraisers.

    And in the background, seemingly everyone associated with a program loves to tell you how much their competitors have. This is especially the case if they believe a rival program has considerably more money than they do — so they can go back to their bosses or boosters and say, “See? We need more.” We examined their figures more skeptically when developing our estimates.

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

Dialed my app to my buddy's Maiden playlist, was all amped to get my thrash on on the way home. It was sunny & beautiful & I took the back way home to Mt Vernon. Hit play on Maiden & hung up after 10mins. The drive & the vibes called for Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler instead.
