I live right across from where the riots have been taking place and it's definitely getting more intense again, but it is not at all new. This spring I was just doing a quick run out to CVS to buy something at 6, and a mob of kids were chasing this one other kid and attacking him. He was trying to fight back, then stumbled in the way of a car, got hit by a car (fortunately at relatively low speed, but nonetheless not something I would have just gotten up from). Got up, and the kids kept on hitting him. At 6 p.m. on a Sunday. They were really lucky that kid was not killed.

What should’ve been a great night out in Navy Yard turned into something we’re seeing far too often. Sitting at dinner at Takumi (one of the newest additions to the neighborhood) this was the view: chaos spilling into the streets, fights breaking out, and large groups of teens running through the area after yet another reckless event at the Bullpen. This isn’t a one-off—it’s a repeat pattern, and it’s happening later and later into the night. Residents and visitors should be able to enjoy a beautiful day, support new businesses, and have a peaceful meal without worrying about safety or disruption. At some point, we have to ask: how many times does this need to happen before real accountability and prevention measures are put in place? #NavyYard #Teentakeover #DC

The upper middle class is caught in a trap, and many of them don’t realize it. The houses are getting smaller, the lounges more crowded, and the schools pricier. My latest on how the upper middle class is paying more and getting less: ofdollarsanddata.com/the-upper-midd…

Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx
From 1963 to 2009, Canadian Roman Catholic priests took to the ice for charity. Through 907 games, they raised $4 million and only lost six games. Not bad for a team whose backup goalie was a horse. This is the story of the Flying Fathers! 🧵 1/10

@fwmarqix I have seen someone bleed to death from ruptured varices and a lower GI bleed / nothing is more terrifying than watching the level of blood rising between the patient’s legs while you’re trying to hang blood and get them to an OR

@shustry Kinda on par for Germans from WW 2. On top of my head, what I saw, production was more artisinal with specialists going from workspace to workspace, thus doing a good job slowly, while allies were having automation, doing adequate job fast.

The most ironic thing about this whole Rheinmetall story is that, when the CEO invited me to see some *real* innovation at his newest weapons factory, this is what they showed me:

The World's Dumbest Tariff Has Been Revealed “Trump’s 50% tariff and removal of an exemption for Canada drove producers there to send US-bound shipments to Europe instead. In just a few months, Aluminerie Alouette – North America's largest smelter – saw its European sales rise from 4% of production to 57%. Rio Tinto Plc largely stopped shipping Canadian aluminum to the US, and even Alcoa diverted around 100,000 metric tons to non-US destinations.” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Very good op-ed: "How Can America Be So Miserable When It’s So Rich?" @DavidAFrench gives 2 reasons: (1) scarce goods like land in desirable neighborhoods and NFL game tickets and (2) positional goods - there is always someone who sits in the front of the plane and someone who gets on last. As wealth rises, demand for scarce and positional goods increases, and businesses focus more heavily on serving that demand. Seating on Southwest Airlines was originally based on when you arrived. Then they created one premium tier. Now every seat has a distinct price. This evolution went from no positioning to near perfect positioning. Most people can afford many everyday comforts, like a large TV or meal delivery, so competition for scarce and status-linked goods intensifies. That dynamic can leave people outside the top wealth tier feeling worse off, even as their material standard of living improves. "No one is the clear villain in this story, and that’s one thing that makes the problem difficult to solve. We can’t target and defeat a specific set of bad actors who are immiserating America. Everyone is acting in rational self-interest." The growing discontent, almost impossible to reverse, drives the move towards populism as voters demand solutions to problems that can't be solved.

The Calgary Zoo brought in a French-speaking trainer to help its newest polar bear, Yelle, settle in after arriving from a Quebec zoo where he was trained entirely in French. Staff are now gradually teaching the 20-year-old bear English cues.

The current moment is very similar to the initial phase of the pandemic. People who like numbers know that a catastrophe is about to strike but everything seems normal. When it hits - which is very soon - all our lives will change. 🛢️

I've so far avoided dramatics because I would be accused of bias. To be clear: this is the worst energy crisis of our lifetimes, well beyond what any sober mind could have envisioned, with no end in sight. The level of complacency to me is astounding.

Polymarket's "Situation Room" weekend pop-up bar in D.C. has already failed on opening night because of poor planning and a bad gamble on the electrical infrastructure, which has resulted in none of the 80+ TVs working. It's the most obnoxious metaphor in recent memory.
