I've spent the afternoon speed running through season one of "Designated Survivor" with my mom. This show kinda goes hard.

Bellingham for PM!

Today in there’s nothing new under the sun: In 1903 a white hotel worker became a right wing celebrity for being fired after refusing to make booker t washington’s bed because he was black and a bunch of people around the country raised thousands of dollars on her behalf

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're better off listening to a Spanish language broadcast that you barely understand than you are listening to Alexi and Carli Lloyd on Fox.

I low-key love it when it rains on vacation, then I don't feel guilty about not doing anything all day

When your favorite football analyst is also among the best cultural commentators out there.

I finally wrote an essay about the rise of the far-right in Germany, for DIE ZEIT. It’s called “The Hatred Is Accelerating” and you can read it in English here: www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... and in German here: www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... - if of interest, please share.

Vouchers don't get low income students into elite private schools. Instead, they function as multi- thousand dollar coupons for the already wealthy. They're always sold as the former, but in-practice, are the latter.

Vouchers benefit the affluent, draining funds from public ed. "Since then, school voucher use has predictably exploded...But enrollment in private schools has largely remained flat. That’s because many of the new school voucher recipients are students who were already attending private school."

School voucher use has surged in Ohio. But private school enrollment isn’t rising with itwww.statenews.org The use of private school scholarships has surged since Ohio’s school voucher program expanded to include all families last summer. But enrollment largely hasn't shifted.

I have never seen so many Nazis in the middle of Berlin as I have seen in the last two weeks. Their favourite outfits seem to be Yakuza tops and combat trousers but you can read more about other brands here, including Thor Steinar: assets.press.princeton.edu/chapters/i11...

I'm looking for authors and author-wannabes of Middle Eastern heritage. By Middle Eastern I mean huge swathes of territory including Palestine, Egypt, Iraq--not even just one continent, right? And in re: heritage I'm talking both homebodies and diasporans. It's for a Middle Grade deal.

Reminder: SKC is on a seven match losing streak and in last place in the Western Conference.

"A 25-year-old man run over by a Tacoma Police Department officer at a street-racing sideshow after he yelled, “Block the cops,” and the patrol car was surrounded by an angry crowd was found guilty Thursday of unlawful imprisonment and other felonies." www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/c...

Crawling in bed at 7:52pm. This week feels like it's been a month.

I host an inconsequential but I think delightful podcast. The schtick is I bring on a reporter, activist, academic, or policy maker and they teach the audience about a topic. I'm looking for an expert to talk about the situation in Sudan. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Intros more so.

Habibi, you neither have to read nor share that terrible Kathleen Parker/Bret Stephens/David Brooks/Ross Douthat op-ed.

Madrid just did that and are about to add Mbappe. My goodness.

The only people who've ever held Trump meaningfully accountable over the last nine years have been ordinary Americans and they've spent that entire time being lectured to and berated by elites who've failed to do anything.

This joint is more lit than when we all danced on Kissinger's grave.

João Klauss was good for 10G, 4A in 1300 minutes across 19 league matches for Saint Louis in 2023. He's 27, still in his peak years. They paid $4 million for him. CW needs to be looking for something along those lines as a replacement for Ruidiaz during the off-season.

In the wake the revelation that a member of the Supreme Court is an insurrectionist and election denier, this is basically the best response supporters of the opposition party can seem to muster. American politics is profoundly unserious.
