I always speak about the police running towards danger when everyone else runs away — that happened today.
Officers ran towards a man carrying an ignited suspicious device. They put the safety of others above their own.
Today, as always, I thank them for their noble service.

I want to congratulate my good friend and professional colleague, Jon Murad, on his permanent appointment as Commissioner of Corrections for the State of Vermont. Jon is a visionary leader and exceptional, motivational manager who will continue to bring these talents and abilities to this very important position. I wish him and his agency every success as they go forward. All the best, Jon. They are lucky to have you.

Wait. An organic unregulated free market creates downward price pressure on a remarkably popular product?
Like, wow.
Has anyone ever heard of anything like this transpiring before?

Saddened by the news of Tom Stoppard’s passing. Possibly the greatest playwright of his era—definitely the most playful. ‘Shakespeare in Love’ is full of clever tributes for Bard fans, plus this gem: for anyone who’s acted, it’s the truest line about theatre ever written.

After Anthony Barksdale became deputy police commissioner in Baltimore, homicides plummeted, falling under 200/year for the first time in decades in 2011. Arrests fell sharply too, as the dep't targeted the most violent offenders.
He left the job for health reasons.
After Freddie Gray's death and ensuing unrest in 2015, homicides surged to over 300, year after year.
Barksdale returned as deputy mayor for public safety, in 2022. Homicides have since plummeted again, with 113 so far this year.
Correlation is not causation. But Tony Barksdale's impact in Baltimore is undeniable.
He died today, at 53. RIP.

They photoshopped all the guns out of the James Bond movie thumbnails.
Just in case you still had hope for Amazon being in charge of the franchise.
