My hot take is that this holiday is great and gratitude fucking rules. The shittiest people in the world want you to feel despair and they don’t know shit about feeling thankful. Nurture this superpower, bring goodness out into the light, and shame the pricks like the devils they are.

The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

it's a good day when you get paid to eat sugar
We taste-tested the Annapolis doughnuts in Apple TV’s ‘Pluribus’
Ben Wang, who owns Sandy Pony Donuts with his wife, Brea, said the phone rings daily at one of their locations since the show debuted Nov. 7, with people mostly wanting to know if it’s a real store.

Kate Stewart is the most powerful woman in Montgomery County. The County Council president has promised not to run for county executive. So what does she really want?

This is kinda all I wanted to hear. An acknowledgment from him, and a promise to learn from it. Coaches aren’t going to make the right call every time, and I have faith that next time he’ll do it better.
Adrián González on the Hershfelt substitution:
"With Hal's situation, we were receiving information that she wanted to continue, that she was trying [to do so]... It is circumstances that we need to learn [from]. Obviously now we can say the sub was late."

I know we’re all gonna crash out and rightfully so. But let’s remember what this team was in the beginning of the year. They were broken with a laundry list of injuries, a coach who lost the locker room, and a grueling schedule and they managed to be the number 2 seed.

That decision to make the sub in the moment is absolutely going to be talked about for a minute but in the grand scheme of things the unity this team has is a product of what Gonzalez has done this season and i look forward to what he will be able to do with this team in 2026

And also when we look back at the overall journey, it was a hell of a season:
• Challenge Cup win
• Trin, Rose, Casey all with epic result changing goals
• Aubrey playoff heroics once again
• Beating Orlando in Orlando—twice!
• Just watching them persevere
Bring on 2026, come what may until then

A real bummer of a result for a special Spirit squad that may look really different next year. I feel like the coaching staff needed to be more decisive with Hal’s injury. Still, I love these lasses; Spirit till I die.

I love our team and I’m so proud of them for this whole season. They fought through so much adversity, and I hate that the story is going to be 8th place winning when it should be a team going through all the injuries that Spirit did getting second.

and!!!! The second yellow card that wasn’t. This game should’ve looked so different.
The Spirit players so clearly love each other, their fans and DC. They have earned better!

Scored on in the final last year because a *clear* foul wasn’t called, scored on in the final this year because we didn’t sub off in time.
