Follow only if seeking the juxtaposition of Husky football, music, wine and golf. I try to avoid politics but it seems impossible in this era. Personal account.

Falling Birth Rates Are a Mystery. “Everyone has an explanation that supports a pre-existing political agenda” and all can be easily refuted. 🤷 wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

Mr. Trump’s politics has always been largely personal, but in his second term it has become self-indulgent even by his standards. He seems incapable of rising above, even as voters care much more about the economy and prices and his job approval falls wsj.com/opinion/trump-…

The term’s slipperiness shows why it’s better to speak of politics against the Jews. “Every form says, ‘We’re not that, we’re this,’she explains. “German antisemitism was formed on the basis of not being anti-Judaism”—but something more rational … wsj.com/opinion/ruth-w…

Austin Justice@AustinJustice·
In Austin, you can walk your dogs on a quiet Sunday morning and get randomly shot. "I don't know why they would shoot me." Sean Fuentes keeps repeating it from his hospital bed. A car ran a stop sign in southeast Austin and three men opened fire. The first shot dropped him, and he felt the rest hitting the dirt next to his face as the shooters stayed and emptied the clip trying to execute him. Bear crawling home, he heard his late father's voice -- a Marine who served two tours in Vietnam: "It's go time." He crawled and walked a block and a half home bleeding. His wife saw the dogs running back alone, leashes dragging. Three teenagers stole a 9mm Glock from a shop on Ben White, took a stolen car, and spent the weekend firing into homes, vehicles, and strangers across Austin. 105 rounds across 21 incidents with four people shot. Sean’s twin sister is in the ICU waiting room with him, and wants justice: "They stayed there and shot him multiple times and then watched him. Like, you're watching somebody die.... I want to see them prosecuted to the full extent. They should be tried as adults."

Door Dashing and expensive coffee aside, I'm most concerned with the absolute aversion young adults seem to have to the idea that their choices are a contributing factor to their struggles. It's always someone else's fault, apparently.

“Bro I swear, the only reason Alabama lost by five touchdowns to Indiana is because they had to play South Carolina in October.”
Peter Burns@PeterBurnsESPN

To add to @Lane_Kiffin’s point on play counts….top tier Big 10 teams also have less competitive games which allow 2nd & 3rd string guys to get more reps & develop Huge when depth has disbursed via NIL & portal Margin of victory in Big 10 games almost full TD difference

Barney Frank is not someone I ever thought I’d have nostalgia for. But I have a strange new respect for him now that the party has moved to his left, writes @jackbutler4815  on.wsj.com/3PG2B4W

A good rule for Twitter health: If you use your real name, And your real face, On your Twitter? Never, ever engage with someone who doesn't use their own name + face on their Twitter.

In 2018 Zucman published a paper in a top econ journal that inadvertently revealed the total federal/state/local tax rate of the top 0.001% was ~40%. A year later, he realized this undermined his wealth tax. So he fudged the stats to fit his politics. x.com/gabriel_zucman…

Never underestimate the Seattle Times to run cover and run a puff piece for politicians of favor This is what happens when you elect an unqualified person She’s not sorry for her comments She’s sorry that she got exposed for being extremely and predictably wrong

Mayor Katie Wilson has acknowledged it was a mistake to call for a boycott of hometown Starbucks. More politicians need to admit when they bungle something, writes columnist Danny Westneat. #Echobox=1779284393-4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
