Following up on one of the restauranteurs who trashed Baltimore before closing his business. It seems like he may have as much as five years of free time to study up on business tax code.

If you’re a music lover like me I highly recommend the documentary Immediate Family now on Hulu about the session musicians who play on like every hit you know from the 70s.

New Wyman Park Restaurant had my favorite diner breakfast in the city. I finally got a chance to try its replacement, Kay’s Place today. The food may have come down a notch but’s still far better than Pete’s at this point

One thing I’ve learned from all these scandals is that I really don’t need to jump out and make any statements at the first accusation. There’s nothing lost by waiting 48 hours or so. In fact there’s rarely anything lost by just remaining a passive spectator

2. Labour held steady in total votes, but combined with the fractured vote on the right, won a historic parliamentary majority. This is in line with trends elsewhere in Europe. The far right rises and wins when the center-left atomizes (Italy, France) and falls short when it holds (Spain, Portugal).

3. I'd been thinking with relief that the UK was bucking the trend of a rising radicalized far right. But I think that was premature. And Labour inherits a catastrophic landscape for governance. It will take near-perfect leadership and a lot of luck to get this right. Otherwise 2029 could be scary.

A lot of talk right now about Heritage President Kevin Roberts - who lusts for a radical rightwing revolution that would punish those he deems enemies of his “real America” so bad that he must talk about it all the time. I dove deep into the extremist worldview of that guy a while ago:

It was Dan Deacon of all people who noted that as he got older he stopped emphasizing with the players less and less, and more with the managers. Something flips when you’re suddenly older than the oldest professional player.

Something that also doesn’t come up here is how much Trump’s “Black Jobs” comment really set him back. I’ve seen a lot of local figures forcibly respond. It’s reminiscent of when McCain called Obama “That One”. The street venders here in Baltimore sold shirts mocking that for years.

Banning medical debt from credit reports. Cracking down on junk fees. Banning non-competes. Capping credit card fees. Negotiating drug prices. Expanding OT pay. These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

Yes. I think Biden’s earned the chance to prove it was a bad half of a debate and he is still capable. The problem is that too many people ostensibly trying to defeat Trump are now on the record calling Biden’s fitness into question in ways that can’t be easily walked back.
