Don’t plan to have a medical emergency on Wednesday night in the Fort Frances area. Your nearest emergency department could be hours away — if there are ambulances available to take you there.

I went to The Bay today. It’s a sad sight to behold. But my theory is that they might have survived if their stores weren’t so horrifically organized and had functioning escalators at least once.

Maybe it's just me but, optically speaking, naming the the former mayor of the most expensive real estate market in the country as Minister for Housing seems politically a lot like appointing Blanche Devereaux as Minister for Chastity.

Breaking news: New civil rights division chief said more than 100 attorneys have left their jobs, in many cases because they disagreed with the office’s new focus on combating anti-Christian bias, transgender athletes in women’s sports, and “woke ideology.”

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

Some say that law will suck all of the whimsy out of you, yet here I am, still believing in serendipity and cosmic forces of attraction, simply because—without fail—all of the most unreasonable opposing parties always find their way to the most unreasonable opposing lawyers.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

We're not done yet | 18F
