One Throuple Had Three Separate Design Tastes. How Did They Manage a Renovation?
After buying a ‘plain vanilla’ box, a Chicago trio brought in an interior designer who blended their aesthetics and added elements like a moody den for socializing and a three-person bed.

If I were charged with protecting a foreign leader, I’d forbid them from attending any event in that ballroom.

It's interesting coming from a place like the Rust Belt and visiting a place like Silicon Valley You see all the capital accumulation in a dynamic industry, all the fortunes being made, all the money flying around And you know nothing lasts forever

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

I … might have used this. As it was, I awkwardly cornered someone at church who uses she/them to ask advice about my child returning to the US with their “X” passport.

I was born in 1971. One of my earliest memories is my mom refusing to explain Watergate to me. I credit Doonesbury for giving me the knowledge I craved.

Many calls are wrong. When the corrupt leader of the host nation involves himself in a wrong call, it’s unethical, unsportsmanlike and wrong on its face. Take the high road, play to win without the carded player and take pride in doing the right thing regardless of the outcome.

I've been thinking about this a lot. First, this is absolutely a homophobic attack on Buttigieg's family and should be treated as such. It's also an example of how CPS works all the time. I keep seeing everyone horrified that the kids were separated to be interviewed. That's what they do.

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life. Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

I was foreperson of a jury that experienced the exact same thing. We were unanimous in the deliberation room, but one of my fellow jurors refused to agree when we were each polled. When we re-deliberated and again sent back a guilty verdict, I still wasn’t 100% sure she wouldn’t confirm this time

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Fwiw, on the only trip I’ve ever needed an ice axe for, @sjsbunchberry.bsky.social found a large sheet of ice on a hillside, and we practiced self-arresting on that before going anyplace scarier. But we were testing our own skills, not our ice axes!!!

Writ large, the Terrorism and Financial Intelligence office at Treasury has so much power. FinCEN already receives so much information and can snap its fingers and get more. OFAC can freeze your accounts and cut you off entirely from the U.S. financial system. CFIUS …

I’m particularly alarmed at the idea that Hurley was “on thin ice with the White House for not getting the career officials more in line with the administration’s views on using … FinCEN … more aggressively.”

I have dear friends at FinCEN. The thought of their efforts to protect the U.S. financial system being weaponized like this makes me sick—as does the thought of someone less ethical than Hurley being put in charge. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I grew up in New England rooting for the Patriots (I still feel the pain of Super Bowl XX). Moving away didn’t stop my fandom; that happened when they started winning all the damn time and got smug and boring. Tonight’s loss may have been cleansing enough for me to become a fan again.
