The Italy Thread
I would go to Pompeii but stay in Sorrento. There's no good reason to go to Baltimore, I mean Naples, except the museum they moved a lot of the Pompeii stuff to. Naples is a shithole.

Yes except Nashville sucks AND has always sucked

Surly Horns Stampede To Tuscaloosa
If you can do a bus like that you should. Birmingham is a much, much better place to stay than Tuscaloosa. Tuscaloosa is small, and Birmingham has a ton of good hotels.

Boston
I don't disagree but I'd also recommend the Omni Parker House. You can easily walk to the North End but it's more centrally located so you can see the State House and the Common right there too. Plus they invented the Boston cream pie there and my colleague who ate two every day we were there for a week swears by them. And I missed the earlier posts but if I had a large crowd, including kids, I'd probably go to Mother Anna's in the North End. It's not the best restaurant there by any stretch of the imagination, but it's affordable and the lobster ravioli and Chicken Creation are legitimately excellent. And no person who goes to the North End should skip Mike's. The experience is memorable and the cannolis are good.

Actually the best breakfast spot is the City Cafe in Northport but it’s not open on Saturdays Egan’s was gross. The old Houndstooth slammed.

Oppenheimer (Nolan)
He also liked the new Dr. Strange movie but hated Bullet Train. He is an idiot.

And now we know that exploding a person doesn't cure Alzheimer's. I don't see the problem here.

In a rational world he would have been adjudicated mentally ill and then categorically restricted from owning guns under federal law.

Surly Horns Stampede To Tuscaloosa
Houndstooth sucks. It's just a big open concrete sports bar. It used to be cool but they tore it down. Gallettes is right by the stadium. It's cheap, with good drinks, but will be slammed. Still I recommend it over downtown and then the long walk in.

Succession -- HBO
Tom doesn't care about power. He cares about prestige. He hordes information and absorbs pain and contempt for the purposes of achieving prestige. It's the foundation of his personal insecurity. A CEO that actually does nothing is a perfect job for him. I bet his childhood dream was to grow up to be Vice President of the United States.

That's unfortunate. My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Sorrento in 2004 and it was fantastic.

Mad Men
Recently for no reason whatsoever I was thinking of what Lane calls Pete right before he beats his ass. He calls him a "grimy little pimp," which is a great insult, but something I thought he just sort of blurted out in anger. The more I think about it, though, the more elegant an insult it really is. He is condemning Pete's entire character, while acknowledging that something that should be beautiful and special (a sexual experience or, in this case, the artistic expression of high-end advertising) has attached to it a regrettable but completely necessary aspect, which is Pete, who is nothing more than dirty, wretched salesperson whose unctuous manipulations and amoral tactics make everything a little more shabby. Pete is like a pimp, whose very presence abases everything they collectively do. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk
