I have a friend with whom I text and at least 25% of our messages to each other are about how lame Weezer is via various articles... But we both love Pinkerton.

The reality is a lot of Washington staffers deserve to have staplers thrown at them. Plus, yes, this is absolutely a pattern.

The NFC East is imploding around them so I think this'll still be a successful year. But yeah... not a great start for them tbh.

I get the Mets on AM radio without having to use any phone data. I like this arrangement, though the government should not require it to be an arrangement that benefits me.

All of these guys backed Trump because they thought he would be easier to manipulate. Now they’re finding out that his f-ups are not something whose consequences they can escape.

I ask this because I see a lot of despondent commentary about them all as a bloc, but really only Alito seems like a rubber stamp to me. The others all have very particular ideologies or prudential considerations that govern their decisions, imo

Jared Young has been the biggest surprise for the Mets this year. Decent defense at first base, .272/.333/.439 line. Could be the lefty half of a first base platoon next year.

This is correct imho. It’s just a bad policy that would be laughable coming from anyone else and should be criticized on those grounds. It’s not bribery or buying votes any more than any number of other policies

Agreed. I also watched it on a recent flight. The movie is decent. Navarette's performance is one of the greatest things I've ever seen on film. With the wrong person playing Nikki the movie wouldn't have broken through at all.

New email to Director Bhattacharya to start Labor Day weekend regarding the secret transfer of appropriated funds to the Department of Defense.
Dear Director Bhattacharya:

Nothing screams "radical transparency" like quietly signing an agreement with another agency transferring hundreds of millions of dollars appropriated to NIH that is only publicly disclosed through investigative reporting and only confirmed by a vague statement by you on "X".

As you know, I have been tracking NIH commitments in as close to real time as possible. I am flattered that NIH has mimicked my "funding curves" on the front page of the NIH Reporter website. Apparently, I will need to consider essentially secret interagency transfers in my analysis.

This is another good contribution to your legacy at NIH..."Director Bhattacharya broke new ground and many other things."

Sincerely,

Jeremy M. Berg
Director NIGMS, 2003-2011

trump has a fundamentally zero sum view of the world. if you trade something you are, in his view, losing something. there can be no positive sum gain.

Trump thinks that if you pay somebody $10 for a burrito than you have lost the $10, like it has been stolen from you. He's not pretending; this is literally the basis of his trade policy

My main takeaway from the Lindsay Clancy case is that there is no good reason to televise criminal trials and anyone arguing in favour should be viewed as suspect

In general I agree, but it is a case by case situation. Some software is getting worse. Package tracking, for example, is not as good as it used to be--a lot of the services used to offer real-time tracking, and now it always seems delayed. Twitter has gotten much worse.

The replies to this are sociopathic. A young woman was stabbed to death in public! So many people on the internet have paper-thin politics that are just an excuse to create an out-group against whom violence is permitted; it’s a coin-flip whether the group is “professionals” or “immigrants”.

Fwiw I think it is folly to argue as “Trump is another failed R POTUS”. It’s a nice thing for lefties to assure themselves they’ve always been right (a debate for another day) but imo it minimizes the unique threat from Trump and the current gop
seriously why isn't "every republican president destroys the economy" the most ubiquitous phrase in
american politics?!?!
