In writing about Trump in the first term I kept coming back to the idea of trying to talk a drunk driver out of the keys. It's maybe not the best metaphor, although it's not wrong. Anyway he is most definitely not just driving but doing 75 in a 35 now. Feels like there are fewer options now.
For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.

A nice reminder that there's still a whole lot of good in this world.
An airport piano was filthy and out of tune. He fixed it during a layover.
“It was in very rough shape – dust was everywhere, and there was a gluey substance under the keys that prevented them from working,” said passenger Josiah Jackson.

Loved the Grateful Dead tribute at the Kennedy Center Honors, especially Derek Trucks setting the stage in fire with his NFA solo. But c’mon, no Bobby songs??

It’s a new era Mets fans! We’ve been dreaming of this moment since the day the Jeff Wilpon handed over the keys. And damnit, it tastes every bit as sweet as I imagined! #LFGM

Big time win tonight by the Knicks. Philly isn’t at their best, for sure, but neither are the Knicks. Towns made some big time plays, OG looked like a star and Hart did a bit of everything.
