I got to watch the profound and moving Bad Bunny show just now and nothing I have to say hasn’t already been said but I would like to say I have never seen that many 10s being joyful in one place before.

This is why I have never had and will never have a ring doorbell. I’m willing to trade a package being stolen to not surveil my neighbors.
Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵:
-The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

This was my thought too! So many of his anecdotes about her are like “she does such a great job managing the kids while I do what I want to do”

I didn’t know this about technical points!!

I am also not a skating expert so I know little about rules or technical scoring but I do know most of the stuff about Bonaly was about racism and she did the backflip thing as more of a fuck you than a technical flex.
Lots of talking-out-of-asses about backflips today, so just to tidy up a few things:
1. The backflip was not banned because of Surya Bonaly. It'd been banned since the 70s due to danger.
2. It's not super difficult. It's a staple on the retired pros tour.
3. It's not worth technical points now.

The person who told me this was an operator of a boutique property and said the metric was based on the radius where people stay during major events and the cap on the size of conferences due to room limitations. we all know they’re often empty but it’s more for peaks both planned and hoped for.

A couple years ago a hotel manager told me louisville was “under hotelled” (industry term) by 8-10k rooms and that we could expect a boom in downtown hotels as a result. We’ve got to be getting close now.

I’ve been in New York for the better part of a week and if you wanted to know what the highlight was it’s tied between getting an ice cold shrimp cocktail at Keen’s and watching a guy walk down 7th Avenue with an industrial size can of roasted red peppers just noshing.

Today I told a real adult and by any reasonable account an age peer that I was a kid when Daniel Pearl was executed and thus barely remembered it. He asked me who that was, then informed me he was four when that happened. He has no recollection of 9/11 and we're like normal adult friends.
I spoke to a woman at the protest in minneapolis and she explained she wanted to be there in part because "i was a kid when george floyd got killed" and i nearly dropped my recorder

I haven't looked into his policy views at all but please consider that 1. I went to the impeachment trials when I was living in DC and watched him testify and I was profoundly moved by his clarity and bravery and patriotism and 2. He's not Marco Rubio.

Not really! One way is my husband and I both like to cook and WFH a lot. Most of the weekday things are like 15 min-30 min prep and cook time. I use my rice cooker a lot. All breakfasts are 10 min max items. I do not have kids.
