Riding through Kendall Square and Wellington/Harrington today reminded me of the tremendous opportunity we lost in Crystal City/Pentagon City in Arlington VA

Now i am off to contribute my $13 to the local fast-casual lunch retail economy. So this is all worth it after all.

I am in the office today. The primary difference between today and my normal workday is a) I'm less productive, and b) the only thing my officemates and I have talked in-person about is how dumb the return-to-office policy is.

"If you kill someone, you should not be employable doing the thing where you killed someone" seems like low hanging fruit.

The greater travesty than the insulting $2K fine for killing someone is the fact that his license will be suspended for not more than six months, AND HE MIGHT STILL BE EMPLOYED AS A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER

Missed this: One of the only baseball players I even remotely care about, Sean Doolittle, has retired. He was Nationals baseball for many of us. https://www.masnsports.com/blog/doolittle-announces-retirement-after-11-mlb-seasons

“It’s really funny, you hear people say, well, we don’t want taller buildings because we don’t want to be Manhattan,” @marcgov said. “You know how we’re like Manhattan? We’re second to them in rents.”
“They’re talking about aesthetics. I’m talking about the people, and that’s the difference,” he added.
