I graduated in 1994 from a school building built in 1968. My son will graduate in 2027 from a building built in 1969.
The average MCPS school building is nearly 30 years old — and it shows.

When pipes burst or mold grows, our students and teachers pay the price.

I’ve asked the Board of Education to hold another public hearing on the Capital Improvements Program so more voices can be heard.

Peter's school still has their WeatherBug/AWS weather station on the roof and wonder if it still works. I was kind of amazed that the one in Ashburton ES was still fine, it had a serial number from 1995.

-Our taxes paid for these roads. You're not going to stop climate change if cars sit in traffic while one asshole in spandex bikes on by.

-We need a "No Kings Day" for MoCo.

-Bus lanes don't make much sense either.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.

On earnings calls, Amazon & Microsoft said the real AI bottleneck isn't chip,
it's electricity.

Bloomberg writes about two Santa Clara data centers siting empty, facing a 1-3 year lead time for power. Some cases take up to 7.

It’s a bad time to have a government hostile to solar and wind energy.
