Fox News's lead sports analysts are a man who played three NBA games, scoring zero points, and a former college swimmer who once tied for 5th place. Here's a look at how liberals reward mediocrity with participation trophies.

Sustainability and urban design (WEDG, ENV SP), NYC politics, cool maps, linguistics, socialism, books, esoteric belabored puns, and 40+ years without a driver's license.
Yeah, road sign, that's why I was looking to you to find out
“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Missed my express train and late to work to tell my kids about the significance of #BastilleDay. Worth it.
Just want to remind everyone that Lindsey Graham saw Trump clearly for who he was. Which makes Graham’s subsequent fluffing of Trump all the more shameful. That self-debasement is Graham’s true legacy.

If you're going to start taking big real estate money, at least be honest about it.
Angelenos are frustrated right now. I'm frustrated right now. That's why I decided to run. If it feels like the mayor isn't listening, drags her feet, and isn't focused on the things that matter...that's because it's true. You deserve leaders who show up, do the work, and fight for you.
