I love the actual product, but loathe the attempts at feigning some sort of progressivism that always manages to put on blast the fact that its founder was a center-right Spanish politician.
Also, Hazel Southwell is literally right there.

An added bonus: he was recommended for the job by the Maryland Republican Party. Surprising if you only know the party based on Larry Hogan, not surprising if you look at the top of the ballot during the last election cycle.
Does Zaslav wake up every morning thinking “hmm, what’s the most tone-deaf thing I could possibly say to piss off the largest amount of people?”
Womp womp
I should probably clarify that it slammed me firmly in the Bernie camp, but I’ve drifted even further to the left (broadly libertarian/anarcho-socialism) since then
Up until that point, I was a naive centrist that thought sane liberalism would win out. That election single-handedly destroyed that view and slammed me hard to the left.
One of the worst parts is that there are many valid reasons to criticize Bill Gates with regards to the COVID vaccine (mainly as it pertains to his intellectual property crusade leading to a few companies getting to dictate the rollout and screwing over the Global South in the process), but it’s all drowned out by these idiots screaming about microchips.
Front right pocket for phone, front left pocket for keys, back right pocket for wallet if in uncrowded area, front left.
If it’s crowded in winter, it all changes. I have a Columbia jacket with zipper pockets on the side and one chest pocket. Phone and keys stay on their corresponding sides (or even still in the pants because the jacket covers my pockets and who wants to steal a six year old cracked LG?), while wallet goes into the chest pocket.
Half-eaten hot bar food/sushi stashed behind an endcap of Diet Sprite was my personal favorite to find
It has its blind spots (NW is underserved because the NIMBYs didn’t want the Metro to bring black people lower property values) and it has infrastructure issues, but it’s on the whole pretty good
Or forced to be inadequate, in the case of Baltimore.
We were supposed to get a new east-west light rail line. It was shovel-ready and federally funded. However, our wonderful governor Larry Hogan, in his push to punish those Baltimore ni- I mean, apply his fiscal conservative bona fides, canceled it, calling it a “boondoggle”. Instead of this “boondoggle”, Hogan threw his support behind the Purple Line, a similar light rail proposal to connect the whiter, wealthier suburbs in Montgomery and PG Counties. It was funded by public-private partnerships and ended up the subject of land disputes, went billions over budget, and is only just finally getting off the ground.
He also pushed for highway expansion projects that just so happened to benefit his real estate investments, but we don’t begrudge him for that for reasons of…
Probably “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”
