Philly stuff. Outdoorsy stuff. Maybe a LOT of xc skiing stuff on winter weekends? I'm as confused as you are.
We received a very sweet Cameo from Jessie Diggins for my kid's 8th birthday in 2021, a birthday that she spent basically alone except for us. She won the World Cup that year - and also the last 2- and is simply one of the most admirable US athletes of my lifetime.

I want to go on record and say that this is the Bryce Harper I want in 2026. Raise a glass at the International Bar. Shit-talk the quality of Philly pizza. Become friends with Kurt Vile. Do it all, Bryce.
Is it because he looks like this? Because I don’t think I can watch that mustache all season.

Shaheen came to power as governor by explicitly pledging not to fix the state's broken, regressive tax structure & school funding system, despite being one of the few people with the political capital to do so and the existence of a lawsuit demanding it.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Ooh, I actually, unsuccessfully, warned myself.
Me: The Democrats' obsession with finding a working-class whisperer has led to a bunch of gimmick campaigns which wasted a ton of money and attention on hopeless races. Why do this again?

I'm pretty good at finding my way into the interesting stuff about a city - the weird foods, the music, the little shreds of history, etc. (For instance, I had a great time spending a weekend in Dayton a few years back.)
But, yeah, I found Little Rock pretty unpleasant.
