  1. My new stance on public education is that we need to make sure that kids are reading 19th century novels where the little brother or sister dies of measles or scarlet fever. At least one a year. That wasn’t just a plot device.
  2. I continue to avoid this thread because it’s just doing nothing good for me considering that Ukraine has consumed and continued to consume my life for the past 3.5 years. But I recommend this initiative and have helped buy a modernized T-72 tank, a Vampire rocket launcher system, and the helicopter. My understanding from friends is that Czechs donated 800k in the hour following the shitshow in the oval. Someone has to remember how to be Americans.
  3. In the meantime, the Czech nation crowd-funded a UH-60 for Ukraine and my understanding is that 800k rolled in during the hour after the abortion of a press conference.
  4. Marco Rubio is still young. He will certainly be fired by Trump (likely within about 18 months) and he will be an irrelevancy. He got something he always wanted and it’s already visibly destroying him, he’ll live out the rest of his life feeling shame and utterly without dignity. There’s a small sense of pleasure I receive from that.
  5. Honestly a tragedy that so much of America doesn’t have a passport and can’t go see that virtually all of Europe even with migrants is safer, cleaner, healthier than virtually anywhere in the United States. The idiots will believe this shit.
  6. The current most powerful men in the world are extremely broken men tied by a common thread of shitty fathers
  7. Mike Myers’ Musk impression clearly came from a place of intense dislike and it pissed Elon off. Needling him for not being funny clearly gets at him.
  8. Nothing to see here but a direct transfer of taxpayer dollars to David Sacks.
  9. They haven’t even had a conversation with their kids.
  10. Van Orden is a famous piece of shit even for a GOP rep. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna97157
  11. I am completely serious when I say that a big part of Trump and Vance fracturing the transatlantic alliance is to poison the well early and cut us off from our natural friends and allies who might help us find the way back. Zelenskyy is 100 times the human being and leader than the menagerie of grotesques who accosted him at the Oval.
  12. Fig repulsion has me completely blindsided, I did not know it’s a thing.
  13. Maybe, but even talking about it is catnip to the people I mentioned. That’s why you keep hearing “you shouldn’t pay tax to live in home you own after you retire.” The whole model is: 1. Offload your house up north. 2. Buy what should be a family starter home in Florida to “downsize.” 3. Live off of IRA, SS, Medicare. 4. Underfund schools, try to eliminate property taxes, veto new construction so your house value keeps climbing and no brown people with kids move in. 5. Never see your grandkids, do nothing for your children, complain they won’t come visit.
  14. This is true, but I used to have truly miserable 12-14 hour layovers because of odd routings and even I felt the need to escape the shelter of the business lounge. The olive bar and pide is really fantastic.
  15. Lulz, Florida imported a bunch of fucking boomers. Now that they sold American industry to get rich, the current model is to end public school and never sell their house. That’s what this is about.
  16. Republican, but on SNAP and expecting more SNAP money, is a WILD type of guy.
  17. They shouldn’t be, but they are. Ron Meatball can gripe but he’s gonna eat the shit sandwich.
  18. Toasted baguette, good soft goat cheese, and fig jam is a miracle. Can be breakfast, light lunch, or an appetizer.
  19. The Epestein reveal debacle is a source of endless amusement to me, but it’s also been a theme of mine that we reached the event horizon of scams in America. I love seeing MAGA get rugpulled, endlessly cycling through memecoin crashes. But we built a country where almost everything is fake, grasping, and gilded and it didn’t breed immunity to getting scammed. It overwhelmed antibodies and made it so we don’t know how to do collectively do anything else.
  20. So efficient, so effective. The mind reels and heart races at the sheer crystalline purity of economy that Musk is bringing to government.

  22. The Vermillion is great. Also in Brownsville, Rutledge Hamburger stand. https://thetexasbucketlist.com/2017/05/the-texas-bucket-list-rutledge-hamburgers-in-brownsville/ Ultimo Taco in Brownsville for Matamoros style tacos. In Harlingen I can vouch for Pepe’s for the true RGV Mexican experience. Get a beef fajita taco plate with charro beans and chile torreados. And sweet tea. I am not a sweet tea person anywhere else but their version has plenty of lime and is not oversugared. Las Vegas cafe is the best breakfast. Second Helobius’ note that locals like chains but just because they do, doesn’t mean you have to.
  23. Istanbul is great for long layovers because if you have one, Turkish Air will give you a short free tour and meal. Hit or miss on what you see (Hagia Sophia is incredible but the porcelain factory less so). The meal is a standard, good kabob and salad. You don’t have to be ticketed on Turkish.
