@dieworkwear You are four-for-four here, friend. Nice work. More watch work welcome anytime.

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool (watch edition): — Buffy Birrittella's Tank Americaine, given to her by Ralph Lauren. Available at Wind Vintage — Rolex 5504 at Cosimo Watches — Lemania chrono at Bernardini Milano — Jaeger-Lecoultre 9117-21 at Eguchi in Tokyo

@davidaldridgedc I am here for each and every Verdine White reference for all of time, David

In the end, everyone knew. Everyone knew. George Bailey, like Verdine White with Earth, Wind and Fire, or Tony Stark with the Avengers, or Dr. Melfi on The Sopranos, was the glue. The glue that kept Bedford Falls together. And the town came through when he needed them most.

@MarkSZaidEsq It may be, literally, the LEAST he can do

@amor_fatti The wisdom of people in their 60s

People in their 40s, what’s something people in their 20s don’t realize is going to affect them when they age?

@Sam4TR So did I

The “analytics” preferred a FG there

I teamed up with @fitzjohnp in @just_security to analyze the DNI's new directive on prepublication review. In short, the directive includes some important reforms, but it omits critical changes that are necessary to fix this broken system. justsecurity.org/100244/the-new…

With 60 days to go until the election, I’m raising every alarm: Russia is actively seeking to influence American voters. They’re using many tools to do it, including covertly paying influencers. Stay alert for efforts to influence our elections, which will likely only ramp up as we get closer.

@RadioFreeTom A musical legend that will last a lunchtime

A wonderful disc, a wonderful band. Do not sleep on Ivy or Apartment Life

@ATRightMovies I’ll tell you when I get to know you better.
