Rower (for fun), engineer (for work and fun), and generally curious about all the interesting things in the world around us.
Enjoying watching the World Series with my boy.
We are Red Sox fans but it’s nice seeing the AL East being well represented! Go Blue Jays!

Vote with our dollars. That appears to be the only vote that matters anymore.
Cancel any subscriptions to streaming services like HBO Max, Disney+… anything that pulls money from media companies willing to allow the government to suppress speech.

The statement that got Kimel suspended:
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said in his monologue.”

scorching and eloquent response from Boston Mayor to Bondi threat to make trouble for them if they don't help carry out federal policy of mass deportations.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Happy to see my representative calling this out. Next step: real legal action…
Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.”
This is how it’s done.

Having a great week in Amsterdam. Started with the Heineken Roeivierkamp Regatta, followed by some sightseeing with @xan-the.bsky.social and visiting with great friends.
First up, lining up for the 250m sprint.
Next, the view along the Lijnbaansgracht after dinner with friends.
