My @Xfinity home internet was down yesterday and today (unannounced) and will be down again tomorrow. I was told to DM them, which I did twice, hours ago. No response, but my internet is down again. If you’re in the market for an internet service provider, avoid @Xfinity.
And when tragedy inevitably ensues, in a year or two or five, advocates will throw up their hands and say "Who could ever have foreseen this?" nytimes.com/2024/04/23/us/…

Dear @Xfinity: Our Internet in Woodley Park was down for hours yesterday. It’s down now, for the 2nd time today. And you’ve sent a note saying it will be down for “upgrades”tomorrow. Is there a reason that I’m paying you for a service you are consistently declining to provide?
I fear we'll see the damage across pro sports generally within a few years. And by the time it's apparent, it will be too late to go back. It probably already is.

Relatedly, the fact that I have never told the media that my name is not “Kevin McCarthy” does not mean that I am trying to impersonate Kevin McCarthy.

It’s so easy to think of McCarthy as merely a pathological liar, and to forget that he is also an exceptional imbecile.

The solution to Trump was always the same: IMPOSE CONSEQUENCES. The more outrageously he flouted laws and norms, the more stridently we should have opposed him. Instead, what usually happened is that institutions readjusted to accommodate him, leading us to the present moment.

It is driving Trump absolutely insane that he has almost no supporters heeding his calls to protest at the court. He is just there by himself. No fans. No family. All alone.

So many writers signing a statement claiming “among writers of conscience, there is no disagreement.” I’ve publicly criticized US support for the war in Gaza (and I’m still being called a Nazi for it), but on this, I side with @PENamerica and “the right to disagree.”
In my over 20 years practicing criminal law, I have never observed a defendant refuse to stand and face the jury. Any competent lawyer would tell their client that his fate is in the jury’s hands and they will watch everything he does. Trump’s disrespect for the jury is unwise.

It is with great sadness that I must report that the Big Guy, Blake the bullmastiff, passed away unexpectedly today at four years old. He was my best boy, my bro, my barback, my research assistant, my drinking buddy, my confidante, my hangout guy, my dear close friend.
I can see it now: Social Security insolvency? "Up to the states!" Israel vs. Hamas? "Not my fault!"
As Trump gets used to this new formulation of "up to the states" = "not my fault or responsibility," it's not hard to imagine him trying it out on other issues where the politics is complicated for him.

Just for the heck of it, I watched The Manchurian Candidate (1962 original version) Saturday. What an amazing film! Angela Lansbury was barely 37 and pulling off psycho-Mom energy. And Sinatra was GREAT in supporting role. Whole Cold War paranoia was on point! 10/10!!!
