I can think of one recent murder of note!
Trump: "Washington now is, uh, no murders. It's been a miracle."

That little meltdown last night seems to be continuing today
Trump: "Is Trump in good health? I sit here, I do four news conferences a day. I ask questions from very intelligent lunatics -- you people. I give the right answers. There's never a scandal. There's never a problem. I give you answers that solve your little problems."

Trump: “Affordability is a Democrat scam.”

While he sits in his gold-plated cabinet room surrounded by millionaires and billionaires, he tells you to stop whining about grocery prices and health care costs.

I feel bad for the crew of this series, who brought so much collective experience, skill, & artistry, working so hard to make Mad Men look & sound great. But I also laughed at this image for a solid 5 minutes.
God help me I had to check for myself if this is real, and it is. But also: this episode is "Red in the Face" and it's on the HBO Max site as "Babylon"! We used to be a proper country.
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

It is unpleasant that the single highest ROI solution to literally all of our problems is considered politically contentious.
DDOT continues to publish before/after analyses of safety projects. The numbers for the 9th street NW bike lanes suggest that we should be doing these projects everywhere we can. Crashes plummeted, pedestrian and bike traffic skyrocketed, and vehicle travel times dropped.

Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

It would be the most supremely American thing if two pets being hit caused more limits on cars than the 40,000 human Americans killed by cars every year. Whatever it takes, I guess.

They're trying to control means of production by taking extortion equity in corps, they're decimating means of agricultural production with tariffs & oppressive ag policy, they're trying to wrest control of infra & transpo, ⬇️. They're embedding themselves as a fascist regime. We can stop them.

The only reason Grant wrote his memoirs is he was bankrupt and dying of throat cancer and was desperate for a way to provide for his wife after his death. And he would have signed a terrible publishing contract for them if Mark Twain hadn't intervened.
US Grant: best general in US history, one of the most decent people to ever hold high office, and just catastrophically terrible at anything having to do with money or business. from birth to death one comical pratfall after the next

people think grant’s fatal flaw was alcoholism, but that’s a lot more nuanced than is generally discussed. his fatal flaw was being pathologically incapable of recognizing that someone might be trying to get one over on him.
