Traveling for a couple days, so I’m going to try to stay off this app— except in cases like right now when my train is delayed during which I reserve the right to waste time with the rest of you.
In related news, if any of you live in New York I’ll be up there later today. Eventually. Food and bar recs welcome.
Bought a copy of this regional publication at the train station so I can fit in when I get there.
My two-hours-behind-schedule train is now passing through the seat of federal power, Wilmington.

And Biden has tapped former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to serve as ambassador to Japan, a pick that’ll generate controversy even as it’s been floated for months.
As a grad student, I covered Emanuel’s decision to shutter 50 schools. Here’s a piece I did during that time for @NPR about the impact to special needs students latinousa.org/2013/05/24/chi…
It’s been a crazy eight years of reporting since then, but few stories have personally compared to the experience of watching families and teachers plead for months fit their schools to be saved as the list got whittled down to the final 50.

Bad Lieutenant (1992) & Uncut Gems (2019) - treat them as one cinematic universe of degenerate gamblers.
You can make it a triple feature if you want to add in The Gambler (1974).
But Bad Lieutenant and Uncut Gems pair particularly well together. One has Mad Dog. The other has Francesca. Same themes. Bad Lieutenant is the Catholic version. Uncut Gems is the Jewish version.
