Puts this quote from the New Republic profile of his launch in a new light!
Between the gentle morning sun, the complex flavors of the oysters, and lulling water, it is easy to believe Platner when he says that he hasn’t paid himself to work for his company since he took it over five years ago. Anyone would do this job for free. His wife and business partner take checks for their labor, but his contribution to the household comes in the form of checks from the Veterans Administration based on his 100 percent disabled status.

Just checked the WaPo app and it's sixth?

Blind Guardian's my favorite band but I'll admit I'm probably more impressed by what Maiden did with their twelfth:

This is Dante, my almost eight year old rescue mutt. He was my Best Pup at both my COVID wedding and post-COVID wedding reception. I won't post any pictures of them, but he's so patient with my toddler and infant. When I change a diaper he'll stand between us and the door facing out to protect them

I do love that, for copyright reasons, Thompson Bros has to sell as Redacted Bros in the States but their relabeling effort only went so far

Lucas never specified what the initials stood for
But then a phantom menace struck. George Lucas would periodically check in on the status of the games his company was making, lending creative input and advice. The developer I talked to sighs, and agitatedly says, “In one viewing of Fracture, [Lucas] said it looked really good, but he didn’t like [Mason Briggs’] name. We’re like, ‘What do you mean, George?’ He responded to the effect of, ‘It doesn’t really fit. When he jumps on stuff, he moves pretty fast. I like B.J. Dart.’ “So everybody’s like, ‘No, he’s gotta be f---ing with us.’ He’s absolutely not. So when

I live for these
Chart of productivity (going up), hourly compensation (going up until it stagnates), and union membership (starts going down and takes a steep dive) that all cross around 1980, with Reagan's head pointing at where compensation diverges from productivity and union membership takes a nosedive Chart of costs to go to a state school (University of Illinois), where tuition explodes after 1981 and median income and minimum wage stagnate. Once again, Reagan's head pointing to his time in office Chart of real family income from 1945-2020, with the median, top 5% and bottom 20% all rising at the same rate until the top earners take off and median and bottom earners stagnate around 1980. Once again, Reagan's head points to this year. Chart of income share of top 1% and bottom 50% of earners, in the US and Western Europe, 1980-2016. The US does the top 1% going from 12% to 20% while the bottom 50% goes from 22% to 13% while the Western Europe chart has both groups staying relatively stable, at ~20% for the bottom and 10% for the top. The US chart has, you guessed it, Reagan's head at 1980

I cannot fathom being so insecure in my masculinity to want this product. We're talking people for who are still not reassured despite daily driving a Ford F-750 while swilling Black Rifle Coffee.

Dante was an incredible Phantom of the Opera for Howloween yesterday in Old Town.
