My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet

if no one else is willing to say it, i will: i don’t think russia is going to attack ireland
When it comes to modern war, Ireland is a high-value target: its waters on the western fringe of Europe contain three-quarters of all undersea cables in the northern hemisphere. Despite this, is unprotected and unprepared.

We had two strays (1 now inside). One of them caught a mouse and they were both proudly displaying it outside my door. My wife screamed but when I tried to dispose of it the other cat ran away with it lol
The best thing about having a cat is when he’ll walk in the room carrying a slice of ham but you don’t have any ham in the house. Where’d you get the ham little guy?

I should really write about this in more length but I have been increasingly bummed out by people's reactions to robotaxis, like "well, at least they're safer than human drivers". Even if that were true (it's, at best, complicated) it's such an impoverished view of what is possible. (cont'd) /
incidentally, this is precisely what everybody said would happen with robotaxis, huge numbers of empty vehicles clogging up streets.
Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Trump’s Obamacare plan will maintain some ACA subsidies for two years, but it also opens the market to Health Savings Accounts and junk insurance. @ddayen.bsky.social and @ryanlcooper.com argue it’s just a recipe for worse coverage and more uncertainty: trib.al/gJf0IVD
Trump’s Obamacare Plan Is Still Not Great - The American Prospect
The Republican plan to more than double premiums is gone, but the insurance will get worse, and the poor will pay more.

Even today, Carville claimed "the era of performative woke politics from 2020 to 2024 has left a lasting stain on our brand."
The peak of that was 2020... when we won POTUS and gained 3 Senate seats.
"We lost in 2020 because of woke" is not a sensible argument! We won! But he just breezes over it.

The thing about Carville's piece is that it's a perfect example of the way centrists can't write literally anything without getting in a few jabs at the left/minorities. It's entirely possible to run on "economic rage," sure. There's no need to go, "And remember what some people on Tumblr said??"
