Webster Groves Boys Cross Country took 3rd at state for the second year in a row, and the girls took 4th, for their first trophy in school history!

Matthew was a state meet alternate for the first time. Maybe he'll get to run at state next year, in his final year.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Just said goodbye to Jinar. After two weeks here, the group is heading to NYC and then home to Germany.

Yesterday was our last hurrah, with visits to the Inside The Economy Museum, Missouri History Museum, Washington University, and dinner and games with another host family.

Gute Reise!

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

The same week we lost a sister to anti-trans policies, were blamed by the government for 42m people losing SNAP, were told we should be abandoned by centrists yet again, & Trump declared Congress null & signaled he'll never leave office, the regime seeks to torture & kill every trans kid in America.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

We have a temporary new family member. Jinar's family hosted Matthew in Germany this summer, and this is our turn.

We introduced Jinar to some of St. Louis today, visiting the Old Courthouse, eating BBQ, ascending the Arch, and of course finishing with Ted Drewes.

So far this weekend, I have cheered for the Vikings (lost 37-10), my kid's high school (lost 56-23), and the Golden Gophers (losing 31-0 at the half).

If anyone really needs a team to lose tomorrow, send me $10 by Venmo, and I'll be cheering against your team to help you.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.
NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing.
