I had oatmeal with honey and peanut butter for breakfast.

Just envisioning a 3 and a half year long"Weekend at Bernie's" where his corpse is just constantly tied to two twits, and as he rots and dissolves in real time on TV, the press pool never asks a single question

Jesus Christ, man. There isn't a scintilla of integrity across the entire GOP.

I run in the evening on both sides of the Flats several nights a weeks. Nobody's out there breaking into cars. The most dangerous thing I've ever seen was a young coyote trotting down Roxbury.

I appreciate you doing Yeoman's work when basically everyone else has given up. Many of us still utilize yours and other's modeling and forecasts despite the fact covid has disappeared from the news.

I'm merely making an inference based on the circumstances. There's no need to be pedantic.

The article makes the argument the GOP should have more than 17% of the seats bc it makes up 25% of the voter population. Meanwhile, registered Ds outpace Rs in TX, yet only hold 34% of House seats. I don't want to hear it. At every opportunity, the GOP solidifies its grip. D should, as well.

Worst accent I ever heard was "Jersey British." A girl I knew in college was born in Middlesborough, U.K. and moved to Hoboken when she was 8-ish.

And, if I strap a JATO rocket to my car, it can go over 300mph. Yours is an intellectually dishonest example, since you've decided to be so snarky. The average person on a flat surface goes about 12-22mph, sustained.

If it goes faster than when an average human can ride when pedaling, it has ceased to be a "bike."

Trying to figure out why I took tons of classes focusing on Constitutional Law, multiple Bar exams, then charge people money to rely on my expertise, if SCOTUS is just going to make this shit up as they go along now. Do it yourself bc I don't know what the law is now. It's fucking Thunderdome.

When I lived in Brooklyn Heights, I'd go to the DMV in Coney Island. Way less crowded. Bonus, you get to ride the Cyclone, maybe hit Luna Park and win a stuffed animal, walk along the boardwalk. Make a day out of it, then wake up the next morning with whiplash. Gristede's blows.

Meanwhile, I saw a Waymo here in L.A., pull over, and stop for an oncoming police cruiser on Olympic yesterday. I assume negligent homicide will be on the table, unleashing these autonomous murder machines on public roads.

When I was living in NYC, I got on the train and Anthony Bourdain is next to me. He gives me a furtive glance, and we both stand in silence for several stops. As the train is pulling into my stop, I look up, ask, "Best place to get blood sausage?" He laughs, says Bar Boulud, and I thanked him.

As a family that is probably further to the right on the income bell curve than most, I have never thought "If you cut my taxes, I will buy more shit." I buy the same amount of shit, and invest the rest.

Waymo is a far better experience than any Uber or Lyft I've ever taken. Waymo doesn't cancel on me after I've waited for 20 minutes. I've never gotten into a Waymo that stunk of unwashed dog and covered in pet hair.

SM is inherently anathema to discourse, and it feels like our brains have made a wholesale adaptation to accommodate. I would love to talk at length about these topics, but the nuance is suited for extended engagement, and nuance doesn't play in 280 characters. "FU" however, does.

I would add that 90 to 95% of premiums must be paid out per annum, net of expenses to create a near non-profit system. Allow 5 to 10% to held back as reserves to allow for fluctuations in claims each year.
