Welcome to Mamdani’s America
I have the Tiger Stadium version of that one in my office.

Some guests are much better than others, show is definitely not immune to having turds

Agreed. Even when there are turds, I think mixing things up with guests each week keeps it interesting if it’s a shitty game or matchup. You can also tell pretty quickly if they will be a good guest or not, so I’ll just tune out a bit if I’m not interested.

Train travel along the NE corridor is great. I live in NYC and travel to DC multiple times a year for work. With the Acela, I’ll do day trips where I catch the 6:30am train that gets to DC at 9:20am, so I’m in meetings by 10. Then catch the 4pm train, and I’m back home before the kids go to bed. It’s so much better than flying because the stations are closer to home/office and I can get there 5 minutes before and walk right on.

For the Northeast Regional and most other local trains, Coach seats are not assigned. Not a big deal if you’re traveling alone, but if you’re with other people, you may not find seats together. Business is assigned seats and comes with free non-alcoholic drinks.

Acela is all assigned seats and nicer. First class comes with complimentary food and drinks.

Yep. DJ Thomas is a spark plug.

Miller looks terrible this year


Yea, it’s starting to look like he doesn’t fit well with this team.

PJ Carter stepping up when Sutton’s having an off night is great to see.
I saw when they showed that graphic live this weekend. It was the preseason mock draft and they were showing how much things can change.

re: Walt Disney World Golf?

Out of the Disney courses, Magnolia is the best.

That said, the Waldorf course is the best public course on Disney property. Orange County National, just outside of Disney, also has two fun tracks.
The drives at the end of each half were welcome sights. Good play calls and execution to get get points in the 2nd quarter, then good creativity and power running to close it out.

Also, shout out to Jujuan Johnson for not forcing the big play down field and instead dropping it down to Green for a first down.
She’s up for reelection in a year and knows she’ll lose if she lets him raise taxes.
What a lazy a-hole. Says the shadow docket is a problem, then says they should implement term limits and expand the court—neither of which have an impact on the emergency docket procedures.

What did you like so much about Spyglass? The first five holes are incredible and some of the best opening holes in golf. After that, I thought it was a bit of a slog.

Probably Kona CC for ocean views or Makani for inland.

Why do you not want to play a resort course? Mauna Kea and Mauna Lani have some fun tracks.

I live in NYC and second Carmel, but go with Luxury Sedan or bigger. Full Size sedan can sometimes be run down. They send you a link to click on to call your car when you're grabbing luggage, so it's pretty easy.

With Carmel, you don't have to deal with surge pricing or lack of cars that sometimes happen with Uber/Lyft. They also track your flight and will stick around if you're running late.

The government isn't really shutdown. The people that processed your passport are working and not getting paid.

Hochul has already said she will not raise any of the taxes he's promised. Just sit back and enjoy this train wreck

The state has a say in most of what he campaigned on and Hochul's not doing shite right now because she's up for reelection next year. If/when she is reelected, he may get some leeway.

Dedan Thomas is easily the best player a catalyst for this team right now.
