Believe or not, I watched The Sound of Music for the first time today. I thought it would be goofy but wow that movie is wonderful. What a feat, balancing a musical against such a terrible era. And as far as Captain Von Trapp, I absolutely get it now 👀

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

Touring the California pacific coast this week in a 2012 Fiat 500c convertible with a full-retraction roof so I can look up at the sky and mountains and trees. $57/day all-in with Turo and my personal insurance w/ comprehensive that covers rentals so I don't need their plan.

Call me a nerd, but yesterday, a federal judge in Pennsylvania cited my reporting in a ruling against the DOJ in a case challenging Trump-era actions targeting transgender people.

So far, three different Daytona police officers have seen my wife and I delivering food to some of our unhoused residents... and didn't stop to harass us or them.

Rents would have to go up 20% and the building would have to sell for $75/sq ft to make an office to residential project happen in downtown Seattle. That’s a 50% reduction in site acquisition cost and would likely mean a recession bargain deal
