Back in NYC, having a bite at the bar. Started bucketing outside. Bartender asked if I wanted another glass of wine. I looked out the window at the rain and upon my emphatic yes she gave me a fantastic pour. Love this city.

I live in LA and I’m enthusiastically in favor of robust transit solutions which if they do occur will happen decades from now. Meanwhile let’s have electric cars

Glad it's not just me noticing. I already stopped reading Loomis who does like 3/4 of the posts and now the rest except for Cheryl Rofer are just sweaty panic

What's the incentive for Tory MPs to defect to the Lib Dems? At least they're currently the official opposition, and with so few seats presumably individual MPs have more sway within the party. Also, will any Tories defect to Reform?

The single greatest threat to sharks, by far, so much that there’s not really a number 2 threat, is unsustainable overfishing. The single most effective thing folks can do to help is don’t buy unsustainable seafood. Notice I didn’t say give up all seafood. Sustainable seafood is great.

If you live in CA, both Butler and Padilla are on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Make time to call today. Then set a reminder in your phone to call again later this week. Then tell three friends to do the same.

He’d be on every Sunday show every weekend to talk about how he disagreed with Harris. Also no use as a tiebreaker in the Senate, he’d negotiate for his own weird shit

Charcoal's crazy, man. You can cook meat with it, filter whiskey with it, and draw nude people with it. And all it costs is harvesting the wreckage of your neighbor's house you burned down.

I’ve only finished episode 3 so perhaps I’ll be learning more, but my impression is that Both Sides bear some blame here, but also there’s some confusing writing

Definitely eaten beef rogan josh. There used to be a restaurant row of Indian joints on 6th street in Manhattan (maybe still is) and they all offered beef dishes.
