I am married to an OB/GYN and I am not certain what more steps would work. There was the idea of allowing abortion procedures on federal property, which is an interesting idea, but I don’t know that it’s been workshoped how that would work. Can’t see what legislation he’s supposed to get passed.

yea, I got wordle in 3 (haven’t done connections), and then got Strands (which I’m usually terrible at) quickly

I remember very few memes but this one is burned in my brain

and gets shit done, and doesn’t pose as some holier-than-thou figure

wake forest gets a shoutout. Well, not the actual team but the mascot

that’s awesome! It’s an invaluable resource and I’m glad it’ll keep arriving in my inbox

agreed. That said, for my son’s UNC graduation in 2023 the speaker was Bryan Stevenson, who was great, so there should be a Stevenson Exception to the rule.

Oh my this does not sound inexpensive.

My girlfriend in Canada (you wouldn’t know her) has copies and I’ll post them next time I see her.

Nice!

To be fair, many BMWs don’t have functional turn signals and haven’t been recalled 😂

That article is a breath of fresh air in the popular media. Thanks!

He’s I believe my third cousin.

I blame the DNC and that representative from Florida.

Yea, there is certainly value in preserving farmland, but when it’s made by people who moved into the neighboring subdivision built three years ago…

Ed, your newsletters are fantastic. Each one is a stemwinder. Thank you!

It’s stunning how when Rufo’s attacks fail he gets so desperate that his accusations just go totally off the wall. A CIA agent? Really?

wait is that really him?

I’m doing my part and taking the 15 year old to see it this afternoon!

I fear that would only make the sun stronger. Throw a black hole up next to it, then it’ll suck to be the sun.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a Jedi of wealth and taste.

Yea, in the year 2024, not sure you’ll find a shorter chain!

I have the app but never set it up, so instead of giving yet another app my bank account info, I took the alternative route

RFK didn’t realize that THIS is Citi Alpha V!

He’s a professor?

is Papoon the name of the worm?

You go get Brian smith and snag that 89th place!

Ozzie Smith had a higher WAR than Cabrera overall, thanks to his defense.

I did not know who Taylor Silverman was before googling after seeing this skeet. I feel fortunate to have been so sheltered.

I wonder what they call him.

I’ve got one and it’s very unique! I do like it very much. It feels fancier than it is.

Yea! I have an Ioniq 6 and it’s great. Not a big trunk tho! :)

Great work, Columbia, 10/10, no notes

After Weeks of Protests, Columbia Cancels Main Commencement Ceremony

Columbia’s president had earlier said that she did not want to deprive students of an in-person celebration after many graduated high school during the pandemic.

I get that. I taught my kids to reference other adult friends of ours by their first names, and I can see professors and students who know each other well using first names. But certainly not someone with whom they didn’t already have a relationship.

In my small grad school program we referred to profs by first names (in 2013) but that’s certainly not the case now for undergrads per my recent grad.

In our house we call it European Pi Approximation Day

There is a list that shows new users’ first posts. I wonder if there’s some way to create a list of “new” users (30 days, 60 days, or whatever) and then you could block the list

Congratulations to your kid!

At least they didn’t call you a libertarian. That would be the cruelest.

lol I use a variant of that lock. On a college campus in NYC, damned right I’m going to have a lock like that for my bike.
