Name cannot be blank

@BarredinDC Unfortunately there already is a Thomas Circle, but I'd greatly enjoy Alma (Thomas) Circle.

DC will apparently be coming up with a name for the new circle/ellipse being constructed at Potomac/Pennsylvania Avenues at the Potomac Ave Metro that will be finished early 2027. ANC 6B will be surveying residents so it can recommend a name. I’d suggest “Potomac Circle”

@michaeljburry Sounds familiar

This matters when problems in private credit spread to data center financing.

@TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings Giannis is driving up to Appleton for ice cream. Come on man.

Could we see a Giannis for Jaylen Brown trade? @DraftKings #DKPartner

@PabloTorre Stay safe out there Pablo! Congrats again.

Spotted Apollo co-founder Leon Black — the billionaire who gave Jeffrey Epstein $170 million — at MSG. But I neglected to note the guy right next to him: Larry Gagosian, the top art dealer in the world

@TheSteinLine Giannis driving to Appleton for ice cream though.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is not contract extension-eligible until October … but Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam said today after Taylor Jenkins’ introductory news conference that the team wants to resolve Giannis’ Milwaukee future before next month’s NBA Draft.

@Chris_arnade @McFranchisee Haha, two of my favorite accounts coming together

@McFranchisee I’ve been to probably 2000 all over the world, and this is first. But I don’t always order mcfluuries

The McCafe mug is used in many markets around the world for @McDonalds, it’s a nice touch. However, this is the first time I have seen crockery used for a McFlurry. Have you seen this is any other McD markets outside of Korea? 🇰🇷🍨

@ArmyWP_MSoccer Do you know when the other matches are that day? I can't find anything on the Georgetown U site

Spring season 🔜 We’re back in action on Saturday in D.C. for a pair of matches! #GoArmy

@HistoricPackers Bad Moon Rison

With the "legal tampering" window opening later today, let's name off some random Packers free agency signings. I'll start with Reggie Cobb

@Dr_Gingerballs I enjoy your skepticism. I was pretty intrigued by old man Knuth getting an original result using these tools.

Stonk enjoyers, researchers, and anyone still pretending AI is coming for our jobs — listen up. Everyone’s hyping LLMs as the future of trading, analysis, and “disruption.” Cool. Show us the disruption. What we’re actually getting is the same academic garbage slop we’ve been ignoring for years, just repackaged and trained on yesterday’s public data. The big funds already arbitraged those statistical edges into oblivion. LLMs can’t manage in high-variance, low-data environments. They need perfect probability maps that don’t exist in live markets. By the time they finish “thinking,” humans have already moved. Mech Eng Prof and researcher here (who actually builds real systems, not just prompts ChatGPT): most “AI trading” papers and bots are exactly the slop we already throw out. Automating it doesn’t fix it. Real edge for the rest of us? Get better information than the herd. Stay nimble — no need for statistical rigor when you’re not trading billions. Exploit the weaknesses big players ignore because the edge is too small for them. Stop playing their game. Learn to read positioning, manage risk like your account depends on it (it does), and ignore the LLM LARPers. What’s one “AI strategy” you’ve actually seen deliver real alpha — not backtested fantasy? Drop it below. I’ll call bullshit if it’s slop.

@Chris_arnade The Pride of Wisconsin

Somehow, I didn't try Culvers until I treated myself last night after publishing this ode to the Midwest. If I had, it would have been the Opening Paragraph! Culvers is great! Especially there Chocolate Concrete with Reese's and Brownies.

The American Dream isn't dead. It's just moved to the Midwest. New piece on why place still matters, what constitutes "culture," and where I've found hope after a decade of writing about decline. walkingtheworld.substack.com/p/what-holds-a…

@ingridattack Appleton

What’s the US’s “fourth” city. NYC, Milwaukee, and Green Bay are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Madison, Racine, Minoqua, or maybe Chicago

@Chris_arnade Well said

This peeing on subway debate is absurd, but also depressing and frustrating. Public disorder and homelessness are huge problems in the U.S. that are especially striking when you spend any time overseas and see what an aberration it is. We are the world's richest country, and yet we have public spaces that rank in the bottom half—dirty, chaotic, and threatening. Disorder in subways should be nonexistent, not rare, and certainly not periodic. It really doesn't have to be that way. It's a choice we've made that isn't about money, but policy. NYC spends $4 billion on homeless services, and the very few people who are causing the majority of problems (they are a small percent of those who qualify for help) have options that they refuse because of mental problems, addiction, and/or both. Someone peeing on the subway is not in a right frame of mind, and isn't normal behavior, even for this population. It's a sign of distress that should cause an intervention—by police, social workers, whoever—that mandates them into an institution for a period of time, until they regain sanity. Hospital, mental ward, detox, prison, you choose, but they should not be allowed to do whatever they want. They are not sound enough to have the freedom. Someone shouting at strangers, someone shitting themselves, someone punching at the air, is also not in their right frame of mind and shouldn't—for their own safety and others—be out roaming the streets. It isn't fair to the public, especially the working people who have to deal with them on a daily basis. It isn't fair to the person themselves. The idea that it is empathetic to allow someone to roam the streets tortured by their inner demons, covered in filth, high as a kite, is so backwards and immoral that I cannot believe the activists who support it have spent any time around these people.

Fun list here. Lowest career BA among players with 200+ career HR

@JordanLoppnow He was on the Pro Football Hall of Fame All Decade Team of the 1980s! Wow, he is underrated in my memory. pro-football-reference.com/awards/pfhof_a…

Happy 70th Birthday to John Anderson! 🎂 The Waukesha, WI native and Waukesha South graduate is one of the best Green Bay Packers players ever born in the state. In addition to his storied playing career, he taught science at Brookfield Academy (WI) for many years.

@NickStillHere 96 Bulls with Larry Bird as a Stretch 5

The best team ever adding the best player ever in a role that would maximize his talents ???? lol it's not even a debate

@WesRoth @grok please provide a transcript of this

Anthropic CEO on the transition from human-AI collaboration (Centaur) to full AI dominance. Amodei warns that while demand for coders might spike briefly, the "Centaur" window could be very short before full automation.

@CMBrookePinto Can you please make sure that basic services in your ward like trash collection are happening first.

DC welcomes millions of visitors every year to host so many amazing events like World Pride, the Cherry Blossom festival, and so much more! But we must make the permitting process easier for vendors to navigate. My bill in my Prosper DC plan called the Special Events Permit Process Simplification Act streamlines the process for our local vendors and event organizers to ensure we can continue to host even more exciting events and that they go off smoothly and safely.

@iamcolinquinn Pipe down jerk-off

If there’s a “tough guy” at the party who’s being extra hit mute on the remote and say “my man, you’re leaving. Your response to me will determine if you watch the game at a bar or on a hospital t.v.” #SuperBowlLX

At one point, per the indictment, Clase tried to throw a ball but the batter swung — resulting in a strike. “Bettor-I” allegedly texted Clase a GIF of a man hanging himself with toilet paper. Clase replied with a GIF of a “sad puppy dog face.” (The Guardians won the game.)

BREAKING: The Department of Justice has charged two Cleveland Guardians pitchers, Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase, in sports betting and money laundering conspiracy.
