I am so tired because I was in Pennsylvania this morning and I am in Charlotte now (as an aside, why is there SO MUCH VIRGINIA) but also I think overtime is what we all deserve to see from this game

What if Alabama didn’t want to win the game? Maybe this performance is an art installation about how we overemphasis championships in sports and that what matters is really the time we spend together.

While at lunch today I had a thought that the next Democratic Presidential nominee should sell branded chisels as merch. A real national healing opportunity. So many mismatched fonts to be corrected.

Trump signed 220 executive orders in his first term and has 225 and counting not even one year into his second term. In case any presidential candidates are wondering what they should be promising to do on their Day 1.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

It's so fucking refreshing, and so fucking cool, to see a politician that loves the city he lives in and represents. Cities are the Real America. Both in practice and in the ideal.
Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?
