@patrickc @_brianpotter The street level plaza and landscape in this photo looks pretty nice through - a nice pedestrian space if it's well activated... and you're never looking at these buildings at this angle in the photo. Probably a pretty nice experience from the plaza.

I think the YIMBY movement employs an inadvertently dishonest sleight-of-hand in talking about "Paris-scale density". Well, fine, if we're talking about Paris-style building, I'm all for it, and likely voters would be too (as they have been in the past). But what is actually on offer is quite different: they wisely interpret calls for "Paris-scale density" as something more like "Sejong City-scale density".

This is how California became anti-growth in the 60s/70s btw. Citizens just started relentlessly punishing local elected officials that didn't strangle development.

@JATompkins His complaining is truly lame, but he's not wrong that Indy really needs to build up its downtown and in-town commercial corridors. It's bleak.

crazy his reason for hating Indy (he pooped his pants and couldn’t find khakis)

@revdjs59 @TC_Gillespie32 Living in the city, and attending our big sporting events are 2 very different experiences.

@TC_Gillespie32 Indy a good venue for sports. The best? Ask residents along South Meridian or in Hawville. The hype, pleasantries and fans are temporary. The $$ at the end of the day goes mostly to out of state equity firms/hotel companies. Workers get a bump in pay & potholes.

Confirmed in nearly every convo had this week: The Final Four should be permanently held in Indianapolis. No other city comes close to embracing it in the same way.

@TC_Gillespie32 Try living/commuting in this city when there's not a big event... it's completely crumbling, no big visions for its future. Low taxes! But you get what you pay for.

@TC_Gillespie32 We literally have nothing else.. when there isn't a big sporting event, we're just stuck with a run down sad midwest city, run by a state government that resents its largest city, and a local government that loves big events, but doesn't care about the quality of life.

@QuigneBapt I don't see a sport here.

L'effacement du tennis au profit de ce sous-sport d'after-work doit être au cœur de la prochaine présidentielle.

@DAGToddBlanche So great that she’s fired.

Pam Bondi led this Department with strength and conviction and I’m grateful for her leadership and friendship. Thank you to President Trump for the trust and the opportunity to serve as Acting Attorney General. We will continue backing the blue, enforcing the law, and doing everything in our power to keep America safe.

@borme75532 @OnlyInBOS Mediocre might be too big of a word for you to understand.

@GnaniAlan @OnlyInBOS Not a fucking chance buddy. The Italian food in Boston is steaming hot garbage.

Boston just got completely shut out of the 2026 James Beard Award nominees. Not a single restaurant or chef from Massachusetts made the list. The last time we had a major category win was in 2019. Speaks volumes on the current state of Boston's restaurant scene this decade.

@borme75532 @OnlyInBOS I said the same thing… calling it the most mediocre Italian food.

@DaveErnesto @jameshohmann @davidfrum Don't worry.. he's lying. The bill contains a $1.75 million primary residence exemption, exempts retirement accounts, and the 50% marginal rate doesn’t kick in until $30 million.

@jameshohmann @davidfrum Estate tax should start at like $4 million and I consider myself a pretty strong liberal. And maybe there’s two brackets of like 25 on estates up to 10 million and 40% on estates 10 million +. Primary home should be exempt when going to spouse or legal partner. Taxed to kids.

Mamdani wants NY to cut its estate tax exemption threshold from $7.3 million to $750,000 while raising the top estate tax to 50% from 16%. That modest one-bedroom apartment you wanted to leave your family to help them get on the property ladder? The mayor will take half of it.

@SteveC209687230 @jameshohmann @guypbenson @NYCMayor Don't worry, Colonel fake blue check. It's actually not true at all. "The bill contains a $1.75 million primary residence exemption, exempts retirement accounts, and the 50% marginal rate doesn’t kick in until $30 million."

@jameshohmann @guypbenson Elections have consequences. Get out and vote. No way over half of NYC wanted this assclown @NYCMayor

@jameshohmann Uh... that's not true. You're "just straight up lying about Mamdani's estate tax proposal (in both tweets and an op-ed). The bill contains a $1.75 million primary residence exemption, exempts retirement accounts, and the 50% marginal rate doesn’t kick in until $30 million."

@RepNicole @POTUS They're the same picture...

Today, @POTUS Donald Trump outlined the clear progress our nation has made this past year. Together, we delivered historic tax relief for working Americans, middle-class families and senior citizens, helping them keep more of their hard-earned money as they begin filing their taxes. With our border secure, less crime in our cities, lower mortgage rates, less inflation, cheaper gas prices, a GDP that’s growing, domestic manufacturing that’s returning, and trillions of dollars in private and foreign investment strengthening our economy, we are fueling job creation, restoring confidence, and putting our nation back on a path of sustained growth. We are undoing the mess created by the Biden Administration and getting our country back on track, and I remain committed to working with the President and my colleagues to continue lowering costs, strengthening public safety, and building on this momentum that’s delivering real results for the American people.

@bgtennisnation Old white guy doesn't know Bad Bunny... shocker.

I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ anything about Bad Bunny 🐰 beyond absurd that’ a legendary Bay Area band isn’t performing at the superbowl, heck you could have 3-5 great 👍 bands for a tremendous show, red card to the organization that forgot the Bay Area roots

@WMSBG Good. The city does not owe you a place to store your giant car. You bought a car. You figure it out. Other tax payers aren’t responsible to provide space for you to park your car. The city doesn’t provide storage for anything else you own.

Once again the NYPD is putting Windshield boots on cars Parked in the middle of the road on the yellow lines after all normal parking are still full of snow and ice Broadway between Kent Ave & Berry St.

@WhiteHouse It's currently 100F in Melbourne Australia. Climate change does not mean it never gets cold. They know this though... our country is being run by a group of childish internet trolls at this point. Anything to make their beloved orange god richer.

"Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???" - PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP🇺🇸

@jessica4stein Her team is also laughing. You realize that your personality is now "I go online and criticize teenagers." Congrats. You're a terrible person.

It's getting old.

@washingtonian I love mortadella, but that mortadella cookie looks nasty. I know it's not made with mortadella, but why you'd WANT a cookie to look like processed pork... makes no sense. Sorry Claire Saffitz. Maybe a taste win, but looks fail.

Are you struggling to decide which cookies to leave out for Santa? At Washingtonian, we aren’t, because we made all of them—all of this year’s New York Times holiday cookies, that is. washingtonian.com/2025/12/11/we-…

What would be your thoughts if Patrick Mouratoglou became Carlos Alcaraz's head coach?
