Washington Spirit defender Tara McKeown has excelled at the rare transition from forward to center back. Now, she's becoming something else entirely. #nwsl #woso #washingtonspirit

okay fine. I'll come back here. mostly just so I can talk more about R / data science / Posit stuff and also NWSL stuff. Going to try to be more active here I suppose.

Iceland is being done dirty. #esc #eurovision

5 days of doxycycline for a sinus infection should not cost $50. American health insurers are scam artists.

IF YOU FIGHT, THEY BACK DOWN. The only explanations for institutional compliance are you're cowards or you like it.

Fabletics is posting a “Tariff Surcharge” on their receipts. I hope other companies follow suit.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Life’s too short to spend time around people who can’t stop one-upping other people.

To quote Sam Seaborn, "I tell you what, let's forget the fact that you're coming a little late to the party and embrace the fact that you showed up at all."

All right I got fed up and had to write this. And I’m sure after reading it carefully, Trump will stop saying this www.propublica.org/article/hist...

Ipso facto: RTO orders are making all our men women?

When a person is abducted, there's a number to call to report & identify. A habeas petition challenging the abduction is electronically filed in that district, by a lawyer admitted in that district, within 30 minutes of the call. Anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day. Nothing else is good enough.

in a weekend of terrible and insulting ideas, this one at least we know will fail horribly with very little impact.

THIS IS IT. Orange Monday. That is the name for what this is. The Orange Depression. Use it.

The business crowd pointed to the economy as a justification for getting super Trumpy over the past several years. Meanwhile, the US market under Trump is currently underperforming the same point in the Biden presidency by over 20%.* _ * The daily chart auto-updates a few hours after US market close

Seriously what word are we calling this newest Great Depression we’re sprinting into? Needs Tr*mp in the name.

A wonderful, sweet story we all need right now.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Well we can at least say with certainty the markets won’t drop *more* than 20% tomorrow…

The circuit breakers are based on the S&P 500. 7% off for the day, 15-minute break 13% off, another 15-minute break 20% off, markets close www.nasdaq.com/articles/mar...

I’m sure doing WAY less laundry now that I have an injured ankle and my running training got paused….

Got photos from all 50 states. Looking for attendees' estimates to get some sense of the overall number. I was assuming I'd see this in mainstream media & then I remembered we're living in the No One Is Coming To Help You Timeline & started the sheet myself. #handsoff docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The entirety of my feeds on all the socials I’m still on are ALL protest pics. This makes me happy.

This is FANTASTIC. 🎊

At #awesomecon. Dude on the escalator behind us was telling his friends how “tr*mps tahr-iffs” were screwing over gamers. Politics has truly made it to the gamers.

MAG(depression)A?

just reporting all the ads that think I can buy a house or think I already own one that needs fixing as “bullying or harassment”

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

It's getting buried, but Houston will almost certainly not have representation in Congress until January 2027. Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner died nearly a month ago and Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has simply decided not to call a special election to fill the seat.

looking great, guys. im going to go take a nap.

Aaaaaand I’m no longer interested in #Severance Season 3.

hey people that control fashion - can you make big hats trendy again? I feel like I'd like to wear big hats and always be carrying the associated hat pin. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/hatp...

Anyone know where this building is? Found it in a box of my granddads stuff. It was apparently important to him but we don’t know what it is.

So that whole “sinking in quicksand” thing wasn’t like, *totally* off. www.arlnow.com/2025/03/07/m...

The fact that Spotify just recommended an Olivia Rodrigo song in the middle of a playlist of L7, Hole, The Breeders, Veruca Salt, Belly et al makes me very very sad for the state of "AI".

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Hey @brooksrunning.com I’d love you to do a study on why running shorts ride up in the crotch for some people but not others. Like a proper scientific study. I’d LOVE to wear some of the shorts out there… 🥲

Interesting that we're calling this "infostealing" now. Guess cybersecurity is important maybe?

If you're using substack and linking to it, everyone else hears it as you going "hey guys check out this cool Nazi bar I hang out in" It turns out telling people you hang out in a Nazi bar is not a very effective way of advertising yourself.

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

Dull, overwhelming gray covering it all is a perfect metaphor for the bigger picture. This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity. If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions.

Get off Substack.

Truth. Painful truth.

Item 1. Be rich.

feeling familiar again today...

“They’re all the same” type arguments also get you kicked off my front porch. Especially when the discussion topic is about things that are definitely not the same.

Bad faith argues are getting kicked off my front porch. Go take your “arguments” somewhere else, sweetie.

The horrors of this past week reminded me how batshit insane some of the anti-Dem rhetoric online during the election was, and upon reflection I think this was really a stand out performance from Bree.
