It was mesmerizing watching her at the edge of Italy's 18, not panicking, not immediately passing back, but just HOLDING, waiting for something to open. People might call it maturity, but I think it is ice water in her veins. So fun.

I would recommend going back and watching her minutes. She was aces on her free kick, but she looked like she was Nervous before the kick. Then, she got called for a foul and finally looked relaxed. Great debut.

I saw that tour as well and got to sit up close. Such a good show.

Government should be accessible. The people who work for government, the people who influence its policies, should be accessible. Mamdani's doing this right.

I also subscribe to both of those and can recommend @404media.co and the newsletter of @thefrankiedlc.news. I also like @propublica.org for deep dives, plus individual newsletters from within @flaminghydra.com like "Welcome to Hell World" by @lukeoneil47.bsky.social.

Punch-Drunk Love may be my favorite PT Anderson.

When anyone mentions it, I immediately crave watching it again.
