It began with Blackberry closer to 20-25 years ago, as I remember my crackberry addicts’ messages. Epstein probably had a Blackberry before he got his iPhones, but most of these emails are iPhone era. A lot of guys typed like this even from their desktop as a way of showing how “busy” they are.

The history of the DC Circulator shuttles was quite interesting as the criticism of it in the early years was about it having low use, needing subsidizes per rider & clogging. And then it got canned c 20 years later with barely a fare hike.

[About GUTS, it’s to be outsourced by the university.]

Yes, with multiple reasons for that.

But was there a pushback from residents?

There probably was, and Topher has found the 1977 Washington Post column mentioning some of the Georgetown residents who opposed a station.

Opposition/concerns have also been about buses.

The Norwegian woman’s family name meant “middle way” in Danish. And in the middle she was between Epstein and Trump.

If Trumpublican House Speaker doesn’t play more games, if will take as long as about 2 weeks of legislative days in the House for the petition to clear the House, and then the Trumpublican Senate and/or Trump will likely kill it anyway.

They can’t all afford a nanny — or they are afraid their husband will run off with the nanny — to go around with the kids all the time, and to do it themselves it would eat into their time “working out” and working it at Equinox or socializing with “the girls” as much.

It reminds me of how people in DC’s Georgetown area didn’t want better mass transit connectivity and a Metro rail stop in Georgetown. Nationwide NIMBY phenomenon to gate-keep in various ways so as to keep away those whom they consider “riff-raff”.

As of this evening the number of Kashmiris detained over this Delhi car bombing exceeds 1000 people. 1000 people “involved” in a car bombing without Indian central authorities knowing about it in advance? It’s either impossible or the Indian central authorities have screwed the pooch yet again.

Many of these characters also don’t seem to have much recollection of how it was on the UES with kids in the 20th century. 🙄

“The sky is falling” anti-Mamdani characters are quite the snowflakes who don’t seem to be as upset that the country is ruled by the extremist Trump who has a history of sexual assault and is a criminal many times over.
November 12, 2025 at 9:24 PM
It’s sort of bizarre in a way — and yet not in other ways — that the Indian security forces have detained over 500 people in Kashmir as being “involved” in the Delhi bombing. The Indian authorities seem desperate to pin and blame this incident on as many Kashmiri Muslims as they possibly can.

Further Americanization of Sweden — and that is what is inspiring Sweden in this regard — is a recipe for worsening criminal problems in Sweden. And yet they keep going down this path because of what is a fundamentally racist objective masking as “tough on crime”.

3 ordinary ways to be planned before move:

1) get enrolled in a multi/year educational program in EU country of interest;

2) find employment in EU country of interest where the employer can help you get a work permit;

3) check eligibility for citizenship in an EU country based on ancestry

Many Americans have this idea of Europe being “open-minded”, “liberal”, etc when it really is anything but. And the very type of racisms which have sent the US sliding into fascism are originally from and more deeply embedded and unchallenged in Europe.

Air pollution in Delhi is one of the deadliest killers of adults in the city.

The air quality in Delhi has been awfully horrendous and very deadly for over a quarter of a century and yet the Indian government tolerates all the violence the pollution does to the bodies of its citizens.

Yes, it’s a click-bait type headline; but I take it as a positive thing that the professor sticks to the idea that his son is his own person and is not a substantive public topic for him to discuss as a political matter.

Doesn’t the woman in the picture look like she could be Jonathan Braun’s sister?

…. and yet some caption to the photo identified her as his wife.
November 12, 2025 at 7:47 AM
Yes.

The suburban tri-state area has many an incident of nannies being sexually harassed/assaulted by men whose children they are watching. Many an aupair on a J-1 visa to the US has had to request a change of assignment because of creeps without boundaries.

The Kushner crime family connection got Jonathan Braun sprung from prison?

Seems so:

When Pakistan blames India for terrorist attacks in Pakistan, Pakistan typically blames Baluchi separatists or — more so in more recent years — Taliban from Afghanistan or the border areas. In this case, Pakistan is blaming both.

Just wait until mid-December. ;)

In the meantime remember the Vitamin D supplements. :D

India won’t allow it, and Pakistan won’t either. India is hoping to drive an Israeli “solution” — akin to what is done to Palestinians by Israel — in Kashmir; and Pakistan has its own domestic audience hooked to the awful idea of a two-state Partition along religious lines.

Those nuclear doctrines may be more stale now than they were before.

Modi’s India is much more of a loose cannon, and religious zealotry in India has become more endemic in the political and military chain of command for nuclear strikes.
