I like Milwaukee, beer, and center-left politics. I think cities are great but should be better; I also think suburbs are fine but should be better. You can get incredible food in every single American city these days. 🦌🍺 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 🌐

PSA: Two 3-piece cod meals and one 2-piece walleye from Culver's is way too much for two adults and two kids. Two 3-piece meals would have been more than enough.

In hindsight I think a generation of scholars and activists made a massive mistake in assuming that the conditions of (a, yes, deeply flawed in many ways) liberal democracy as the floor, the worst things could get, and so felt free to portray them in worst possible light. Whoops!

I disagree with AOC on plenty of policy, but I f'ing love the way she communicates. Succinct, easy to understand, a clear right and wrong that a vast majority of Americans agrees with. It's beautiful.

“Respect the neighborhood scale” is such a bullshit planner invented concept of asking people to not build big buildings. Architects need to stop catering to it

My wife introduced me to the music of Graham Lindsey when we met. He's a great singer-songwriter from Madison, WI. We actually named our dog Viola after one of his songs. But man, I feel bad that every time he gets googled, all the results are for Lindsey Graham.

Being from the US, I knew 24 Sussex was the residence for the PM, but literally nothing else about it. Nobody's lived in it for 10 years?! Would Canadians be upset or relieved if it was torn down and rebuilt? It's not my place to have an opinion on whether they renovate or rebuild, but do something.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Joe Biden did a lot of things right as president, but he also made some terrible mistakes. Appointing Merrick Garland is pretty high up on the list of his worst decisions.

I'm a very moderate, center-left Democrat, and I f'ing hated almost every issue Kyrsten Sinema decided to buck the party on. There are plenty of times I'd like a moderate to speak up, but Sinema always found a way to choose terrible wedge issues. Good riddance.

I gotta say, @natevomhof.bsky.social 's photos looked amazing at MARN in the 3rd Ward tonight. I was like, "I know him! ... well, I don't actually know him, but I've been looking at his beautiful art for a few years now." There was also a fantastic shot from @bertlauderdale.bsky.social there too.

I got interviewed on the street by Gideon Verdin from TMJ4 while walking my dogs. Tldr, hikes in property taxes are hard to swallow but sometimes necessary. I also mentioned that my taxes went down slightly this year even though the assessment went up significantly. www.tmj4.com/news/propert...

I heard Alex Edelman interviewed on a podcast, I don't know, it seems like years ago now. It was a great interview, but I hadn't heard his full stand-up routine describing his experience of being a Jew who went to a Nazi meeting in Queens until tonight. It was fucking brilliant.

It’s true that medieval people were very ignorant compared to us today. For instance, they would panic over mysterious apparitions in the sky, or believe that a strongman leader was blessed by God.

I feel like it’s so effective when cops do this because the side most ready to critique police misconduct is uncomfortable calling for police to do more enforcement, and the side generally in favor of enforcement will let cops get away with anything.
