Friends. Today was a great day in terms of playing soccer, giving a kicking lesson, and doing a campaign event with Robert Garcia, but I have to tell you the cherry on top was seeing this Republican text ad whimpering about our campaign’s efforts to shine a light on my extremist opponent.

I’m late to this, but here we go: I could be talked into replacing Succession & Fleabag with Chernobyl or Schitt’s Creek. If we are doing reality shows, No Reservations & Repair Shop. I didn’t include incomplete shows, but Slow Horses could make it assuming they don’t pull a Lost or GOT.

I’ve always believed the problem of inequality and segregation could be better served by framing it as a resource allocation issue and not moving pupils around. People are territorial, and that will never change, sadly.

Unsurprisingly, the biggest opponents in preserving the status quo were in D1 & D5, mostly at the expense of leagues in D4 & D2. (D3 leagues had a few turf wars that were more about personality clashes than “preserving” a league).
