Being in DC right now means working out of a local coffee shop and having people two tables over receive abrupt termination notices in the middle of the day while on lunch breaks.

The Eagles led this game by 34 at one point and somehow managed to turn in only the second most lopsided W of the night. #mustaaaaard

But on the other hand, Democrats didn’t invite any Palestinians to speak at the DNC, so…

If I put half as much effort into work as I do into securing Beyonce tickets I'd be CEO of a medium to large nonprofit by now.

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

Not sure which is more surprising, this first quarter for Alabama, or the fact that Michigan only leads this game by six in the third.

I don't understand, did Wyna's editor quit or something?

Your CEO has just been unalived, presumably by one of the millions of people whose life you ruined in order to make a few extra bucks on top of the billions you already rake. Do you: a) rethink your inhumane business strategy or b) raise prices now that you need a security detail. Let's bet.

If every insurance claim denied became my potential assassin...boy, I don't know!!!

If I’ve learned one thing from the This American Life insiders program it’s that Ira Glass is basically the male Fran Lebowitz

Boarding a flight from Seattle to DC, odds that the UGA/GT game will still be on when we land?

If someone tries this shit at the Alamo in Crystal City tonight so help me god www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/m...

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

This has not broken me, but it has stopped me in my tracks and made me think about how easily some purported journalists would just go along with whatever transpires in the coming weeks, months, and years.

Questionably overturning a call after the student section protests by throwing trash on the field, I’m sure that won’t come back to bite the NCAA later!!

the team names on the DC trivia circuit this week are going to be insufferable.

game on.

Do you think George Stephanopoulos knows the fate of the country rests in his hands tonight?

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!

I for one am shocked to hear that the overpriced, VC-backed bodega knockoff but with worse food is closing for good and gave their hundreds of employees less than 2 hours notice, who could have seen this coming!!!

War rages in Europe, a genocide is underway in the Middle East, bridges are collapsing 30 miles from here and New York City is 🫨 but nothing has dominated my DMs more this week than the Red Bear pub trivia cheating scandal. DC i luv u

I will never tire of watching Juan Soto hit home runs in Houston

The Dodgers paid $1.1 billion for this morning's news cycle

a year ago @adampeck.bsky.social and i watched stony brook get slaughtered by CofC in the first round of the CAA tournament, and on the one hand, it’s impressive that tonight they instead lost to CofC in a nailbiter in OT in the final on the other hand! it is emotionally damaging!!!

"Veep" is to "The West Wing" as the actual Kensington Palace is to "The Crown."

Wild that the one thing to temporarily knock Texas Hold Em and 16 Carriages out of my rotation is the Dune Part 2 soundtrack but here we are.

IMAGINE spending millions of dollars for a Super Bowl ad slot, millions more to produce the ad itself — and then it airs immediately after Beyoncé says "drop the new music." Not a SINGLE person in the target demo watched that ad. Not one.

TAYLOR SWIFT WINS THE SUPER BOWL🤩🤩🤩🤩

At some point, major news outlets are going to have to stop acting like every good jobs report is “astounding,” “surprising,” and “unexpected.” It’s been like 2 straight years of strong jobs numbers, y’all look dumb.

Still cannot get over the 2025 part of this Lewis/Ferrari news. All sports should do this, trade players or sign free agents a full season before it takes effect. Imagine the chaos.

Quick, before this plane lands: is there still any snow on the ground in DC? stg if we missed all of it I’m turning this 737 around and going back to LA.

The hill I will die on is that airlines all have it ass backwards: checking 2 bags should be free, carry-ons should cost extra.

I think the company account follows me, so when I tell you that it helps to have a fake job you can tell strangers when they ask what you do for a living so they don’t interpret “I work at POLITICO” as license to share all their political opinions over a luau during your honeymoon— no I didn’t.

Not sure which is funnier, the litany of highly targeted ads all over DCA for government agencies and defense contractors, or the litany of highly targeted ads for dumb tech startups all over the airport in San Jose.

Re-cancel the Golden Globes

Insufferable?

THE SPURS WON A GAME?!?!?

The Baltimore Orioles posted the best record in the AL and second best record in the MLB last year on a *total* payroll that is $10 million less than what Shohei alone will make next season.

Thoughts and prayers to the members of the CFP selection committee.

Well that was the dumbest news cycle ever
