Watching a full slate of NFL games today is probably the most over-the-air TV I've watched in about a year. It's nice having a Tivo to record four channels at once.

Moving a U.S. president can be a logistical and security puzzle. Hearing about how Trump was moved by ground between sites is interesting, especially as it may have exposed him and his motorcade to additional risk. I would worry about public safety, but Secret Service should've secured the route.

I keep seeing this Semafor graph that seems to show the Trump administration’s effect on international visits is comparable to the pandemic. My first thought was “that can’t be true” and indeed it is not. This is monthly data. We only have to Jun/Aug 2026. The lines are over-fitted to the months.
