Am I worried about child predation? Yes. Am I more worried about adults freaking out because my son is walking through the neighborhood “alone?” Hell yes

“Jackpocket” is a decent derogatory name for him and his ilk

And he’s fast enough to really bug Siakam. Nightmare for Indiana.

When they are snatching people who haven’t committed crimes at their legally mandated hearings, it doesn’t really matter what they “believe” anymore, does it? They aren’t coming on teevee to say they will stop it, and so we know they want it done.

Don’t forget the cost-shifting to the welfare state as labor strategy!

I agree it’s pretty obvious but not necessarily “I can leave this unsaid on social media” obvious

I’d watch it if it also had the kids being scared _into_ better fit fields. PT, recreation, sports management (like working for the Bowie Baysox, etc.) so there’s catharsis.

Being summoned, having the case discussed, and clearing the student seems like a great use of process to educate. I hope the lessons sticks and Brown isn’t pilloried for following their own rules

Even when I know exactly where I am going, there is so much road construction in DC I will put an address in just to see if there’s a closure I can avoid, and here I am, just a meat roomba again.

My grandparents used to give me directions that included sentences like “Turn where the Almacs used to be. If you get to the giant milk jug you went too far”

I feel the same way about electric cars. We need to tell people “you should support EV’s because every EV out there reduces demand for gas and can keep prices low for your long distance drives in your F150”

After living in downtown DC where 1st floor retail is the norm for apartment and condo building, every single story strip mall is a policy failure

Mike Malone either locked his phone away somewhere or is watching it, waiting for the ring.

Right? How did this happen? Did he jump on Leon Rose's desk and say "Pacome Dadiet won't see real minutes as long as l'm around!"?

It sounds like you’re exemplifying the best of the management style, and that it works for you and your team. Congrats!

For sure. You probably notice that table that needs help because you’re working around, present, and attentive. And then it seems like you simply do the thing that needs doing. My dad was a First Sergeant who managed by walking around on “take your kid to work day” and it was clear it was normal.

One with high rates of approval, as I recall. Workers feel closer because managers see them, ask them better questions, connect with them more. It’s more complimentary than the name might imply

The rules of strategic ranked-choice voting are these:
1. Rank the people you like in order of how much you like them.
2. Fill out the lower rungs of the ballot with people you're meh about, if necessary.
3. Don't rank the candidates you despise.
That's it. That's all the strategy you need.

The media would love it. I have thought for a while that the media will always be biased towards the candidate who bears the cost of creating their content and not raising their costs of reporting. Deriding Biden’s focus on governance is a consequence of this core operating principle.

If the choice is between a camera positioned for revenue generation and a small town cop on the lookout for a driver I can stop and perhaps seize property from via civil asset forfeiture, I know which one I prefer.

I have taken to reminding myself and others that it is entirely useless to argue science with people who won't believe modern soap is safe on cast iron and feel obligated to tell you about it.
