This post took quite a turn.

I like watching UConn blow out Tennessee.

Of course, they're shouting down someone who is Jewish. The fact that Klein has been critical of Israel doesn't matter, apparently.

Hartford draw FC Motown in the 1st round of the Open Cup and looking forward to bashing Morristown (and whatever part of Morris or Essex County they actually represent).

Lol, this guy

Gotta say, I'm pretty livid about ICE right now.

I am constitutionally unable of watching a Bears game and not saying 'Da Bears'.

My right-wing/far right mutuals on West Ham Twitter really do not like the US right now.

Thank you, Dr. Tottenham

Just totally lost his humanity

Nothing makes me feel like a Bluesky hardliner more than seeing a Wanye tweet.

Lol

*Kent Brockman voice* And I, for one, welcome our new Hoosier overlords.

Just gonna say yeah I think it's antisemitic to protest outside of a synagogue and chant "we support Hamas here," like that is in fact a threat of murderous violence.

It really pisses me off that the Free Palestine movement is ignoring the protests in Iran.

Cheer for West Ham, I said. This is the team for you, I said. It will distract you from your worries, I said.

I just started The Beast in Me and I'm worried that they're using the Matthew Rhys character to tar developers as evil.

I know it's The End Times because Indiana has the best college football team in the country and is clobbering Alabama.

Buried deep in the otherwise triumphant election night for Dems in NJ is a concerning backsliding with Jewish voters. And it’s not just the Orthodox, towns like Livingston, Millburn, and Tenafly defied political gravity and slid rightward. Thanks to Nj Globe’s Joey Fox for the map.

Happy weekend to everyone except the affluent NIMBY town that waited until 7 minutes before the mediation session to file their big report and ruined my Christmas.

I'm writing a 2,500 word report every day

I saw the poll that support for gay marriage is down to 54% and I just gotta say LGBT activists effing blew it. Of course, if you point out that the culture and behavior among the radical types in the community is a problem, you unfortunately get insane blowback.

So far this year, I have written memos evaluating the vulnerability of, written reports objecting to, prepared reports related to adjudication of, or partly written the fair share plans of 87 New Jersey municipalities.

I did not realize that Rutherford, NJ, was such a cool town.

Say what you want about Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez but they were the only 2 Democrats to rebuke Chuy Garcia.

Nancy Mace is satiate her attention-seeking fix by attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene, isn't she?

I'm prepping an attorney for arguments on a NJ Fair Share challenge and the amount of time that parties have to file an objection to a Fair Share plan is way too short. Now that I have time to go into the weeds, I'm finding sites where the municipality was flagrantly dishonest about their viability

Going to be your expert on Virginia politics because I was just in the stayed, saw a ton of ads, and stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Shenandoah National Park is good.

The Fan District in Richmond is more West Philly than West Philly.

Norfolk's Ghent neighborhood gave me major West Philly vibes.

I'm in a coffee shop in Norfolk that's on the 2nd floor of a converted house.

The American Tobacco District in Durham, NC

I don't think I appreciated the extent of sprawl in North Carolina before driving from Winston-Salem to Raleigh today.

The site of the Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC, where the sit-in campaign to desegregate businesses began.

*Person who lives in the Northeast voice* "All of this housing is new?"

Thought about immersing myself completely in the Tobacco Road experience and buying cigarettes along with my morning coffee.

Staunton is pretty awesome

The urbanism of Roanoke

This is some nice Art Deco, Roanoke.

Hello from Staunton, Virginia

Greetings from beautiful Carlisle, Pennsylvania. (I'm on a road trip.)

This is cultural appropriation.

So, in the latest of bad life decisions, I picked today to get into the New York Giants again.

I hate the Dodgers

"Enjoy Montreal." "Oh I won't. It's Paris in the ears, but Hartford on the eyes." 🤔

"Oh yeah? You like baseball? What if I make you smoke *an entire pack* of baseball?"

I am very tired but I also want more baseball. [Insert sickos pic here]

This is a long baseball game.

Listen to your catchers.
