I did not enjoy an off-leash dog with a family of mountain bikers yapping at my legs when I was running with a friend in the Fells yesterday.

Unleashed dogs in Boston are a source of frustration for some people, and citations have risen - The Boston Globe
The clashes play out in parks, on baseball fields, and Facebook pages — often pitting neighbor against neighbor.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Poor pax on DL295 ATL-HND.
Aircraft made it past FAI, 3300 mi—almost exactly halfway to HND—before turning back to MSP, 2400 miles away.
I'm sure there's a good safety reason not just press on to HND.
But still.

I think Mamdani is doing what he has to for his voters by charming the pants off Donald Trump, and I'm glad he's got the natural charisma to do it, but I do want to point out that people would absolutely savage Whitmer or Shapiro for doing the same
