@MikeCoopForster @DiscussingFilm @CNN I agree but I mean in the eyes of the public. Like I would guess that a majority of people today just think of OJ as "that guy who killed his wife" and couldn't even tell you why he was famous beforehand

Spike Lee has defended ‘MICHAEL’ from negative reactions from critics: “I’ve saw it twice. Loved it… First of all, if you’re a movie critic and you’re complaining about this stuff… but the movie ends in ’88, you’re talking about accusations that happened later” (Source: @CNN)

New #Lions draft pick Skyler Gill-Howard said he didn’t have time to pick up his draft hats. But his grandfather grew up a Lions fan, so he had a Lions hat handy. It was the only NFL hat in the house, he said. Meant to be.

@alpert Good! I thought she was blocking it at the behest of the unions but maybe I was mistaken. I hope I was wrong because I think she’s the best choice for mayor over McDuffie

If there’s a drug that saves lives and isn’t legal, advocates ask to legalize it, not “legalize all drugs and abolish any pharma safety oversight ” (mostly). Re, Waymo tweeters don’t even know the bill McDuffie introduced would legalize much more than robo taxis.

@alpert @Janeese4DC We’ll never prepare for a hypothetical traffic problem so if we wait for that we’ll never get Waymos and their safety benefits. That sounds like a NIMBY delay tactic to see we need to fix traffic first.

@alpert Of course I don’t mean to abolish all oversight and regulation or taxes. But DC has been doing nothing and not even releasing reports for years while people die. I don’t know anything about McDuffie’s bill but it’s been maddening watching other cities get Waymo first

@alpert @Janeese4DC I didn’t but I should have before responding, just went off your tweet. The article seems well reasoned but my point remains that waiting for DC to be ready is folly - we’ll never be ready and the status quo is horrible and unacceptable and Waymo offers a better future

I think the debate about Waymo in DC is missing the most important point. It's not (just) safety. What happens when everyone's car is an AV and traffic gets so much worse? How do we prepare? When @Janeese4DC says DC "is not ready," she has a point. open.substack.com/pub/moderatesf…

@25YearsAgoLive Meeting every President, being an amazing football and table tennis player, and investing early in Apple wasn’t enough!

@MikeCoopForster I’m actually mad that Forrest Gump included that joke. Mr. Bell was a real person who deserved real recognition for what he did. Even a throwaway line like “thanks, Mr. Bell” would have sufficed, but they chose not to do that

Holy toldeo! The liberal for WI Supreme Court exceeded Harris 2024 by 21 points. Largest liberal win in an open seat in 30+ years. GA-14, the Dem, exceeded Harris by 25 pts. Largest Dem special overperformance since AL 2017 Sen. All suggests an easy Dem win in the House.

My 6 year old son has an extreme nut allergy and it's incredibly stressful as a parent. You're always thinking about what's in his food, what foods will be offered to him, is an epi pen accessible, etc. On the flipside, there has been some new and incredibly promising and effective treatments (biologics like Xolair, oral / sublingual immunotherapy, and more). It was also cool showing him a photo of Elliot and say a big time basketball player on his favorite team also has a nut allergy.
ESPN@espn

Michigan starting point guard Elliot Cadeau rejoined his teammates for the Final Four and said Thursday his allergic reaction that required hospitalization a day earlier was due to an accidental exposure to nuts. espn.com/mens-college-b…
