So Amazon just not like the name Crystal City or what? Never heard of National Landing.
Neither has Google.
The transpo investments Virginia is adding as part of Amazon deal:
- $195M in infrastructure improvements
- Improving to Crystal City, Potomac Yards Metro stations
- Pedestrian bridge connecting "National Landing" and National Airport
- Work on ped safety for Jeff Davis Highway
Metro ridership at Crystal City station over time.
Here are the agreements between Amazon, Arlington and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Virginia: d39w7f4ix9f5s9.cloudfront.net/a1/f2/85b7a8db…

National Landing

So it appears National Landing was more pushed by local economic development folks than Amazon, according to this website: hqnova.com/national-landi…

Adjust your outrage accordingly.
A LENGTHY press release from @GovernorVA

Cost of the incentive packages for Amazon HQs
NYC: $1.5B $48k/job
Virginia: $552M $22k/job
Transportation funding from Virginia's agreement with Amazon.
More jobs = more transpo funding.
NY state* not NYC

Update: An hour later, Google knows what National Landing is.

Judges have been in recess for two hours. Debating whether or not to count a ballot that looks somewhat like this. They would not allow photos of the actual ballot.
Note weird x in Gillespie bubble. Also odd slash mark near Simonds bubble. Judges tying to determine what voter’s intent was.
I’m told by lawyers from both sides if comes to a tie then candidate “draw lots”
More or less coin flip or drawing straws

Ok, I am going to tell the story of one of my favorite bugs. It's gonna be kind of long and it is about a decade old so some of the details might be fuzzy.

If you figure it out or have heard this story before, please no spoilers.
There are a lot of things to take away from the story but one of the most important and most relevant is that high-fidelity event logs available in a structured and queryable format are vital for diagnosing seemingly undiagnosable bugs.
About 10 years ago MochiMedia rolled out a virtual currency called "MochiCoins". It was intended to be a multi-game virtual currency that could be bought for real money and used to buy in-game assets (including sometimes fungible in-game currency.)

As a kid, I was surrounded by people who went on and on about "Never Forget." Holocaust survivor and educator Rose Van Thyn was one. And each time she visited my school, she went on about it too. She had a conviction in her voice--like she really believed it could happen here.
Rose was sincere and she'd been through a lot. She literally had a number tattooed on her arm. But I took her warnings with a grain of salt. I think all the kids did. No one really believed her. Because that was a long time ago. It was Europe. And this is America.
Nevertheless, Rose spent her entire adult life in north Louisiana warning anyone who would listen. She never stopped. Then she died in 2010. Her husband Louis, also a Holocaust survivor, had died in 2008. I never heard about either and had to google to find out.

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
