Joe and Troy are befuddled by the Eagles going for it on their last fourth down but it makes sense to me: go win the game.

If we designed roads for cars in the same way we design bike paths, we'd never have to worry about speeding again. Problem solved.

Three things can be true.
Either they're stupid, or they're scared, or they're fine with it. All of these are disqualifying.

My only regret about the fact I just sent you telling you not to take this "deal" is that it wouldn't let me delete "Honourable" from the address field.

Today is Scouting for Food pickup and — at least here in Alexandria — people are stepping up.
I’d prefer if the government weren’t actively trying to starve people but it seems like we’ll all be damned if we’re gonna let that happen.

Made zeama, a Moldovan chicken soup, tonight. Not this recipe exactly but this gives you the gist of it. The veg was a bit different but the biggest change is there was no milk in mine.

Zeama - traditional chicken soup from Moldova
Where I come from, chicken soup with noodles is also called 'Zeama/Zama' and traditionally the day after the wedding is called 'La Bors' or 'La Zama'. This is because it's tradition to serve a big bow...

$40M actually!
MKW wants to spend $30M JH from K-8 to 6-8 and PH from K-8 to K-5 — both built within the last decade — rather than send west end kids to Douglas MacArthur or George Mason. Both of which are half empty. But the parents there are rich so

Is there a good opportunity to talk to council members about the proposed school budget coming up? I have no faith in school board listening.

Every time a tech entrepreneur says “we don’t need to stop global warming because AI will” I want to slap them with a fish that says, “if a superhuman intelligence came into being and we asked it how to stop global warming, it would say ‘stop burning fossil fuels, you fools.’”
I’m going to regret asking this, but… what mechanism are people proposing whereby AI will “end scarcity”?
This feels like literal underpants gnomes thinking, and as I never tire of pointing out, it’s being driven by a lot of the same actual people
