I’m still waiting for JJ to give us the YMCA lineup, or what I like to call #whiteboysummer… Luka, Austin, Dalton, Jake, Maxi. Something not seen on the floor of an NBA court in, what, 50+ years?

Thanks for the rec - it was a really fun watch! Even though I’m Californian through and through, I *love* NYC and go there 3-4 times a year (it helps that I have a kid in college there), and it really did show off what makes it such a fun and vibrant place to visit.

Is it worth paying for his stupid Substack to read part? I feel like maybe this is a car crash I can avoid without staring at it as I drive by…

Yeah, I’m familiar with Locke and I recognize the *influence* his ideas had with the founders… but he certainly was not an *actual* founder as she seems to get confused and claim.

Uh, who is this genius who thinks John Locke was one of the founding fathers? He was a) an Englishman who b) died nearly a century before the American revolution. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

That is really the crux of the problem, and the reason why the EC works the opposite of how it was intended in recent years: the electors were originally intended to be a failsafe against malicious actors, but that can't happen if the electors are beholden to the same parties as the candidates.

A tough loss in the quarterfinals.

That’s just crazy.

$1K/month in HOA dues for no common area? That's quite literally insane.

Had the same exact thought.

I'm not really one to make fun of people's looks, but there is definitely a porcine quality to her face... so she should be careful, lest she become the subject of a similar rant from him.
