I'm guessing all those Canadians in his back yard scared him.

Will Srancil, the Joe Flacco of political activists.
conceptual question for political scientists: when you use 'elite' as a technical term of art "opinion elites, elite persuasion, etc", would characterize someone like Will Stancil (large/activve online presence, no formal institutional power) as falling under the 'elite' umbrella for those purposes?

Even after all these years, still mulling it over, because I go back & forth between this being a bullseye, and it somewhat missing the mark...

Worth noting there's a parallel problem of kids who were told they were good at math, but were really just good at following instructions, then made it to grad school before realizing they have no talent. Lockhart mentioned this in A Mathematician's Lament. profkeithdevlin.org/wp-content/u...

1) some of you people don't know what a sitcom is.
2) some of you people aren't getting that the point of some of the combos you are stating is that they were atrocious.
3) I am fine with 'teach the controversy' on Rachel/Joey vs Rachel/Ross

I'm still mad that when USS Greenville sunk the MV Ehime Maru, there were a huge Court of Inquiry, but I don't think the Military District of Washington did anything similar towards accountability, treating 3 dead soldiers as sufficient price paid.

Fundamentally my assumption on El Paso and its special security measures is pretty clear evidence the government is so understaffed that it cannot handle routine communications

it does seem very likely due to all that has transpired in the past few hour, that there was some coordination between FAA and DoD, or at least some attempt to, and DoD did not respond for clarification & mitigation in a timely manner, so someone at FAA went max NOTAM to avoid this exact thing.

FAA lifts temporary closure of airspace over El Paso, Texas, saying all flights to resume
The agency says it will ground all flights to and from the airport for "special security reasons."

lol, this is going to be such a shitshow, with the recommendations that either people drive thru Rosslyn to take the Key bridge or go across Memorial Bridge & make a left at Lincoln where nobody has signal priority, or even signals for the most part.

One thing that's increasing clear is that the senior career people in the government (of all types) are no longer 'guardrails' but are mostly becoming stupid, lazy, and evil like their political bosses are.

If only we had a political party whose slogan was prioritizing things that are happening in America over things happening elsewhere in the world.
CNBC: How unusual is it for a senator to not know what's happening when the FAA shuts down airspace for a major airport for 10 days?
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: It's not really my lane right now. It's just not something I'm dealing with. We got so many things we're working on around the world, like Iran

Also, 'women representation as Sports Owners' was literally just Marge Schott for a long time.
I am just "girl raised in the 1990s" enough that I can admit to myself that it was briefly nice to see a woman in that position, which felt impossible when I was a kid. Even as I can acknowledge that billionaires are bad and sports owners are bad and the players should get to lift the trophy first.
linked in posting remains absolutely mindblowing…she owns the team why wouldn’t she celebrate with them? how is this a “historic win” that would warrant a story about the owner in particular? the op even admits that it’s not like jody actually did anything on her own to acquire the team!

Clinton's victory in 1992 is the canonical example that supposedly proves Dems win by moving to the center. There's only one problem: The data disagrees. Voters saw Clinton as more liberal than Dukakis, & simulations show even a solid progressive would have won www.gelliottmorris.com/p/what-the-d...
