For ticketmasters haters everywhere, the smallest bit of good news: Fred Rosen just took a huge L on the Metro Sepulveda Pass project (he was trying to kill the subterranean option and it was approved).

I think it would be unhealthy to try and fine tune the over under here, but I'm pretty sure there is ample evidence that many Americans are fine with a non-zero number of innocent Americans dying in service of apprehending one drug dealer.
If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

The fact that Curbed was able to fund a couple years of decent writing due to some ahistorical flukes (and perhaps a wee bit of labor exploitation) doesn't really offset that its progenitor looms large in the cohort of people who worked really hard to kill the promise of blogging 1.0.

I get that I am treading close to kink-shaming, but man, imagine all the information you would just randomly absorb about Sanford and RFK Jr., and then still thinking "I *have* to break off a piece of that"

I would be low key worried that we aren't allowed to celebrate when people like Dick Cheney bite it anymore, except no one could probably get Trump to focus long enough to explain to him who Dick Cheney was.

One nice thing about aging is you get real blase about your personal choices being very obvious. Case I point: on the train, heading into Alpine TX watching the hills roll by while listening to Explosions in the Sky and Lambchop. Feels just fine.
