I believe in community but ALSO I am currently hiding inside because I see Jane has become involved in small-talk with a neighbor just before I was going to meet her out there and I'm not prepared for that. Containing multitudes.

Listening to the Homan press conference and I've realized he sounds too similar to my terrible boss at my first job out of college. Anyway I'll believe anything's over when I see it.

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

I went to a Wild game last night with a friend I last went to a hockey game with about ten years ago when we were both living in Vancouver, delights. She used to evangelize about how great the twin cities were and she wasn't wrong!
