Aw, man. 😢

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders. Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

April 21, neighbors. See you at the polls. 🗳️

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the publishing dream you had as a kid doesn't exist anymore. The conditions for it are long gone. It's dying. The hopeful thing is that it can be, like so many of the other crumbling institutions, be reimagined and rebuilt. Hopium isn't a strategy, though.

This is insane.

How does she imagine this will end for her? Bar associations don't care about presidential pardons.

What the hell?

Free for all readers: the Dodgers say they will visit Trump in the White House to celebrate their World Series championship. This is a cowardly decision that is wrong on every level, and a stab in the back to the city of Los Angeles. Essay under video: mollyknight.substack.com/p/no-the-dod...

This is a live-action episode of The Simpsons.

Once again, the standard security line at DCA is *way* shorter than the TSA PreChek line.

The polls close in one hour! If you live in Senate District 39, you still have two hours to cast your ballot at your normal polling place.

Oh, is THAT what’s happening?

BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Voter #24 at The Bartlett about 10 minutes ago, which is actually better turnout than I expected.

It’s crazy how warm 33 degrees feels.

You can “revel in” something, but “relish” is a transitive verb. X relishes Y.

You don’t “relish in” something, you just relish it. Which I only care about if you get it wrong in dialogue you have written specifically to signal that someone is super-sophisticated.

Welcome the Buddhist monks and their dog Aloka to Arlington this afternoon on their Walk of Peace, which began in Fort Worth, Texas. Here's what to know, including their route: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/VAA....

"I have too many subscriptions already," I said as I hit that "Subscribe" button.

Aw, man. I'll miss you. Thanks for all the reading.

We'll pick it up from here. Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic are right around the corner!

Not being able to sell all the Super Bowl ads is an economic indicator that worries me.

No, Google Gemini. I don’t want you even if you do play me a Randy Newman song.

Shout to the crew who put up and took down the #BadBunny sets. Fantastic all around.

I cannot believe we are watching these talking heads instead of more Benito.

That’s all? More! Come back! You can’t build a set like that and not do more!

This is one hell of a wedding party!

Damn, even the Minions commercial was stressed out.

No child ever said she wanted to be a businesswoman. That is a lie.

People should sing the national anthem simply and straightforwardly -- no embellishment, no melisma, and for God's sake there's no reason to throw that high note in at the end.

The Trumpists have bought into their own propaganda: When they took power, they really believed they represented the “will of the people.” And they exist in a rightwing information bubble that constantly affirms such nonsense.

Arlington: those living in Crystal City and Pentagon City, you have an awesome YIMBY-endorsed candidate for SD-39. Special election is THIS TUESDAY, February 10th!

For every Lindsey Vonn backed by unlimited funds and surrounded by the world's best doctors, there's a teenager looking at that as a new performance standard. This crap needs to stop.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
