If you can a smoke a bunch of meat for your kid and his friends before they all head back to college next weekend, I suggest you do it. (Buffalo-style party ribs, bourbon peach barbecue chicken and buffa-cue wings.)
I, a casual consumer of news from Britain, should not really know much of anything about this guy. The Times, etc., shouldn’t be doing big stories and push alerts about him. It’s a local and industry (academia) story that really shouldn’t have broken contain.
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · yesterdaythe concern with the Arday story isn’t the fact of the media coverage, it’s the volume. it’s perfectly reasonable that there would be some coverage of the story, and basically indefensible that there was as much as there was.
Great day at East Potomac today. The course was full. The trails & paths around were jammed with bikers & runners & families barbecuing along the river. You could rock & go-go music in the distance from around and all of this would be destroyed if the administration has its way. #SaveEastPotomac

Spicy tongue in cheek take: to the extent that this is all just an eternal return of the American Civil War, this is all an expression of resentment for the Union way of doing war (logistics) to prove the Confederate way (yell a lot, charge) correct
Reading about the situation aboard the USS Lincoln and once again thinking that Sun-Tzu is the most vindicated man in history. Tbf people have wised up now but there was a period where people were making fun of how basic Art of War is as a way of mocking business bros too into it. No more of that!

This is the thing—not only is what we currently do unconscionable, we’re choosing to spend a lot of extra money to make the lives of homeless people worse.
Katie Dailey Dillon@kddill.bsky.social · 3d agoThat people experiencing homelessness and housing instability are not lazy. Providing people with housing (and food and many other basic needs...) is absolutely possible and way the heck cheaper than what we are doing now.

“A severe mental health crisis is totally fine if you can monetize Boomer nostalgia” - you just described Facebook
Michael Henk@mykenk.us · 2d agoA guy hears voices, plows under his cash crop, and risks his family’s financial ruin to host ghost games for dead athletes. The takeaway? A severe mental health crisis is totally fine, provided you can successfully monetize Boomer nostalgia to avoid foreclosure.

Tonya was an anomaly in figure skating in part bc she had a profoundly working-class background, from a community where poverty, DV, addiction were the norm, which is why the author makes a point of mentioning her in connection w one of the most class-inclusive rinks in the US. But yeah sure ok pal.

Trump is a buffoon but RFK got exactly what he wanted here. The data are pretty clear that if you spread the vaccine appointments out then parents don’t come back for them. They don’t want kids to get the vaccines.
