#453: Nemeses →
This American Life This week, stories where a longtime standoff keeps both sides coming back for more. Including a story about the time in Poland’s recent history where the country’s two political blocks came together and believed, however briefly, they’d be able to set aside their differences. And another story about a college rivalry gone viral, and personal.

Amon v. MTA - PART II
So. remember this? Well, I finally had my court date today.  And I WON!  The hearing officer said that “he didn’t believe the police officer’s testimony and that I actually wasn’t breaking any law in the first place.” I WIN.
