WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

Still just boggles the mind that we built a place with genuinely perfect weather and then a) made it impossible for anyone else to love in the coolest parts near the coast; b) made it virtually impossible to get anywhere without driving; and c) somehow managed to offer next to no outdoor seating

All suburbs should be one place called Suburb. Your suburb isn't special, it doesn't deserve a mayor or its own town council. Feed at the County Government trough

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.
