Loved this LQ piece on “zombie leadership”: debunked ideas about leadership that simply refuse to die: doi.org/10.1016/j.le... The authors take on myths like “leadership is always good” or “we know a leader when we see one” and offer more evidence-based ways of thinking. Worth a read!

Our landlord from yesterday is back. Unlike most of Ann Arbor's anti-housing activists, at least they have to courage to admit more housing decreases rent. Not sure how that would ruin Ann Arbor. Think about how much money could go to local businesses if it weren't wasted on rent. #a2Council

Introducing the Casey Board. A nice #crokinole board from the same sheet of plywood as my last one. The railings were tricky but with some wood filler and sanding it all worked out. #woodworking #games #diy

Peak Dutch cycling infrastructure: A beautiful Fietsstraat, with greenery, benches, terraces and bike parking spaces, turns into a dedicated cycle path shaded by trees in a schoolzone, to turn into a Fietsstraat again after the schoolzone. 📍 Amsterdam, Weesperzijde.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.
