Amen
There you go Tom, being all pragmatic again. Sheesh.
Russia has the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, but your broader point tracks www.icanw.org/nuclear_arse....
Gee, thanks. Want to kick my dog, too?
I sat next to Dolly Parton on a flight from Nashville to LAX back in the mid-1990s.
I didn’t know it had opened. Oh well.
We never made it past Clementine’s. Oh baby, their oatmeal cookie ice cream is sinfully delicious.
The beaches in your neck of the woods are gorgeous. Me and the family just had an incredible week in Middletown on Second Beach. Absolutely gorgeous!
It was awesome until the thunderstorms
Missed you on Second Beach today… just sayin’
Sunset surf - Second Beach @radiofreetom.bsky.social
We’re on our way down to Middletown later today and will join you on Second Beach this afternoon!
Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?
I remember watching that movie. I think I was in middle school. Scared the crap out of me.
Truer words have never been spoken
Mass recently passed a ‘millionaire tax’ on any income over $1M. Opponents screamed it would only drive wealthy and high earning citizens from the state. In fact since going into effect the number of people paying that surtax has increased.
I don’t know
If that’s true, I demand my check!
Exactly right. And keep in mind there were also No Kings rallies in dozens of towns circling Boston too. I attended one in my small town north of Boston and there were several thousand people there.
Correct. In fact, it’s 1/7 the total population of the entire state.
WCVB in Boston has reported it, quoting the figure provided by Mass State Police. Use the Google machine to find it.
Say it slowly for the people in back!
You really bring out best in people, Tom 🤷

Does Dino Jr still play insanely loud shows? My ears still have a faint ringing from one of their shows during my UMASS Amherst days. Their amps go up to 12.
"I’d put even money that Trump picks a fight with him, because he can’t help himself. To Trump, an American pope who is not openly on the side of MAGA is a provocation."

Wait till companies start missing quarterly numbers, and their stocks blow up. Sadly, it’s coming.

Oh myyy. This looks like a Ticketmaster surcharge!

@radiofreetom.bsky.social there are two reasons why my wife and I originally subscribed to The Atlantic: 1) You, and 2) @davidfrum.bsky.social We read every article, the writing is top notch. Bravo!
Can confirm. My father in law was a professional singer, and lifelong lover of music. In his final years as the fog of dementia overtook him, soft music would brighten his face and break the mask, in a way not even the presence of his grandchildren would do.
Nailed it

Re-read your history book. Bostonians fucked with the British so much, and picked so many fights with them, they packed up and left for New York. We celebrate the day the British left as a civic holiday called Evacuation Day which is conveniently (for Boston) the same day as St Patrick’s Day.
My hometown
Yeah. Boston has long had a reputation as a city that fucks with tyrants. It’s in our blood.
Sadly, none in Boston tomorrow because it’s marathon weekend and the city is maxed out and won’t issue more permits
The resulting integrated product will be wicked pissa!
The roof deck bar at the Baseball Tavern was so cool
Excellent point.
I think the point here is this OP is referring to the WSJ Editorial page has now turned on Trump. The mainline news side of WSJ regularly reports more balanced pieces on Trump and his policies (as reflected by the news headlines you clip above).
"The combination of interest rates soaring amid a slump and the currency plunging despite rising interest rates isn’t what we normally expect for advanced countries, let alone the owner of the world’s leading reserve currency. It is, however, what we often see in emerging-market economies."
They don’t even need to sell what they currently own. All they need to do is buy fewer at our upcoming treasury auctions, to dramatically swing our interest rates.
This is ludicrous. I travel 175k+ miles/year and am a multi-million miler on two different airlines. I’ll bet at least 50% of that was booked within a week of travel.
This is not accurate. As long as the helo is structurally intact and the rotors able to turn, an unpowered helo can be auto rotated to a safe landing by any skilled pilot.
Can confirm
The flowers are beautiful, but my eyes are drawn to the lovely photo of you and Miranda.
Trump said if America elected the wrong president, the market would crash. Well...
I hate to break it to you Philip, but it’s that way every January here in New England.
It is a cold 41 degrees and pissing rain today here in Beantown. Spring weather can sometimes be elusive.
Scotch or Bourbon?
We missed you at the Boston rally, Heather! Although it looks like the weather was much nicer in SF.
Boston was a mix of everything- young and old. I saw plenty of young adults. Lots of families with young children. I was there w my daughter who is in grad school and who was there with all the students and staff from her research lab.
Older folks. Oh, you mean the ones who actually turn out to vote in elections?
Another relevant Carlin quote: “Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize half are stupider than that.”
When inflation is high, typically the Fed tightens the money supply (raises rates)
I was surrounded by the BU women’s volleyball team at one point. My friends son was there with a group of his buds from Williams. My daughter came with her entire lab from HMS. There were college students everywhere.
Then you certainly weren’t in Boston. That crowd had everything- young and old, families with young kids, every walk of life.
I was at the very large event in Boston yesterday, and while it was certainly very peaceful, it absolutely was not ‘mostly white women’ in attendance.
Boston was raw and rainy yesterday
I’ve seen it on local news, and it was the second headline story on this morning’s ABC national Sunday morning news show
I was one of about 100,000 people who marched in the 42-degree pissing rain yesterday in Boston. It was something to experience. People of all ages, including lots of families with young children. People are fed up. The time of watching this unfold on tv has passed.
There were definitely police in Boston. I spoke with a couple of them, who both told me the crowd was significantly larger than the city was expecting.
Several tens of thousands of people marched peacefully in Boston yesterday with zero reports of vandalism and no arrests.
I’m still waiting on my check. We earned the bad weather bonus here in Boston because of the cold rain.
I marched in Boston today. It was an absolutely enormous crowd. Very high energy. All ages. Lots of families with small children. It was uplifting to be part of it, even in the cold pissing rain.
I marched in Boston today with my daughters. It was a long day, in the cold pissing rain, but the crowd was great and people were really energized! So glad we participated!
I’ll be there with you, Meg. Looks like we’ll need to wear raingear. Looking forward to the Dropkick Murphys!
I am attending with my daughters. It will be cold and rainy here in Beantown, but we have a long established reputation for having zero patience with oppressive authoritarians. First, the British. Now Trump.
Same plaintiff?
@gtconway.bsky.social have you seen the first suit vs Trump tariffs? Any thoughts on the complaint? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Interesting. Great context thanks for sharing.
I’m sure there is a tidal wave of these coming, in many other jurisdictions
David this is awesome, I love your work. When will the first episode be released?
When the U.S. was formed, black people counted as 3/5 of a person, and only male property owners could vote. Yeah, sign me up for going back to those good old days.

“Juuuuuuuuuuuusst a bit outside…”
Hard pass
As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?
That’s the perfect height for the guy standing and watching it
