The old saw that every development is named after what it is replacing isn’t often wrong.

Well now I am jealous.

the ideal academic life is being an eccentric Victorian lord. Invent a stamp licking machine at 22. Get elected to the Royal Academy for counting the beetles on your estate. Die in an arsenic explosion. The perfect life.

A quick look at the BBB complaints for the new owners does not fill me with confidence.

So did their merger do something weird to patient records?

Of course it’s the Maryland one. But there is no reason for them to have ever had the New York one. I started seeing the doc after I was fully situated in the DMV. Certainly they had my correct address at my last visit.

I hand over my ID and insurance, and she says, “Which address is correct? This Maryland one on your license, or the new York one in the system?”

At the front desk, the receptionist said, “Wow, you’ve come a long way.” I am like “…I guess?” I’ve been meaning to find a closer doctor since I moved to the Maryland side of the DMV, but I like mine!

Ooh, I’d like to nominate the stop at the entrance to Seneca Creek State Park. The stop on the north side of the road has no bench, is overgrown, and has no sidewalks or crosswalk. Just take your life into your hands if you want to cross the street and go to the park.

This is utter BS, shoutout to this family for pushing back: www.wunc.org/2026-07-06/u...

We’ve entered the period of the evening when I can’t tell whether the “it’s all over now” vagueposts are about Platner, the USMNT or McConnell.

Leo is being the See he wants to change in the world. ... I'll get my coat.

This is cool (the first one especially)

These repayment options make no sense The "extended graduated repayment plan" is somehow a lower monthly payment *and* also ends sooner, compared to the standard repayment plan which both costs more per month and lasts 3 years longer? 🤔
