I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

It’s striking (to me, anyway) how in all the talk about the federal government taking a 10% stake in Intel, nowhere does anyone call it a Silicon Valley company. They’re literally one of the original, namesake Silicon Valley companies, headquartered to this day in Santa Clara.

This is one of the coolest things about distance running. It's pretty unique in adult life, let alone sports. Running a race, looking at the top of the results after, and knowing I went everywhere they went, after the same starting gun. Put's a "no, really" on the whole concept of "participation".
