I was out there. The protests were huge. Santos is just a worm. What is happening with the New York Times?
HOLD UP. George Santos is the lead story on the @nytimes.com website on Saturday night? Not the millions of Americans protesting Donald Trump today at 2,700 events in all 50 states? Come on.

Were there really cynics making fun of Marilyn Hagerty's North Dakota Olive Garden review beyond a few random trolls? Every take I saw found it charming. Always seemed like a straw man to me.

The capital of Finland hasn't had a traffic death in a full year. Lower speed limits, plentiful speed cameras, 1,500+ km of bike lanes, infrastructure for pedestrians, and a new tram line.
