Tip - for long layovers in fantastic european towns (Madrid is one for sure), take the train into the city.  I had an 18 hour layover last year in Amsterdam and saw 2 museums and got incredibly high.  In Madrid, you could have some great tapas and drink enough vermouth or sangria to make your cares go away...

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.

You know how I'm always going on about my sheer amazement at how fucking stupid Tommy Tuberville is? Yeah, welp. Here's exhibit #eleventy bazillion and 49:

Tuberville forgets triangles exist while advocating for Pentagon cuts: ‘We need to make a trigon’. “Pete Hegseth has welcomed DOGE to come into the military. We need to start in the Pentagon. We need to make a trigon -- three sides -- instead of five sides in the Pentagon”.   https://www.al.com/politics/2025/02/tuberville-forgets-triangles-exist-while-advocating-for-pentagon-cuts-we-need-to-make-a-trigon.html

That works great if you know how long your layover is.  ATC strike of unknown duration?  Ain't nobody leaving the airport.

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.

I'd say it's more the sickness of our fucked up markets finally metastasizing and impacting our political process. Ultimately, a major factor in voting trump was the presumption of it making you personally a boatload of money. Now, those idiots did get scammed as you describe, but they are suckers for that bait

"How far we get" has nothing to do with convincing Ana not to be a disingenuous asshole.  You might as well try to force the sun to rise in the west.  Rather, "how far we get" relates to how we communicate with the audience of Ana and folks like him.  Counter-programming and such.

How many years is it going to take before you realize you’re wasting your time? You’re operating at cross-purposes. If he was attempting to engage in honest, thoughtful, rational discourse then you might have a point. But he’s not. He’s intellectually dishonest. He’s an impulsive contrarian who gets off on the attention from being a fly in the ointment. And he’s not half as smart as he thinks he is if you haven’t caught on to that yet.

I put him on ignore back when he was parroting Trump’s “collusion delusion” catchphrase, that was around 8 years ago now. I’ve got him figured out. Nothing I’ve seen in the years of other people quoting him has revealed anything new to me. He is now exactly who I thought he was then.

He’s a troll. He adds nothing to the conversation other than disruption and distraction. By engaging with him you reward him and help him disrupt and distract. Are you surprised by anything he says? Or does he say exactly what you’d expect him to say because you’ve got him figured out and have for a long time?

It is nice, but if you are heading back to the US and going through Istanbul, and Trump puts back on his Muslim ban, it fucking blows cause you get to go through security 3 times.

I’ve never done the tour because Turkish Air’s business class lounge in Istanbul is amazing - really good food and self-serve liquor.

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.

When asked by a reporter whether he still believed Zelensky was a dictator, Trump responded: “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5167646-trump-zelensky-dictator/

Morning Joe led with that today. Video of him saying it followed by video of him questioning whether he said it, the implication of course is that he was denying he said it. They also showed video of saying that the EU was formed in order to “screw” America followed by video of a reporter asking him about that and him questioning whether he said it. He also went on to say he didn’t think he would say something like that. Willie Geist questioned whether Trump was just being “coy” or whether he really didn’t remember.

That’s missing the point. Trump is simply a bullshit artist. He’s a troll. He’s playing a different game than those of us living in the reality-based community. Asking whether or not he believes something misses the point that he doesn’t care. True and false, right and wrong, those aren’t separate concepts in his psyche. He’s mentally deranged. He can believe that “A” and “Not A” are both true at the same time without suffering any cognitive dissonance. He can say “A”, then say “Not A,” you can show him video of him saying both, he can question all of it, and his cult followers will blame whomever was questioning him about it for being dishonest and “fake news.”

Rookies. Amsterdam.

Train into Central Station. Lot of shit to do/smoke/see within a mile. Get some north African to be your tour guide. Grab some fries with Mayo. Decide, drink, smoke, fuck or art. Or just wander.

Just remember to give one of the bums outside the station what you did not consume before you go and check back in.

A lot of Amsterdamage can be done in 12 hours.

Touring some damn old church/mosque.

I kid.

Exactly. After you toss your almost empty grolsch at him to wake him up. Oh, and put out your cigar of course.

Yep. The best cons prey on the greed of the 'victim'.

And the media and America still focuses on this instead of what he actually does or allows to happen.  After that it's old fucking news and a distraction.

Every time he lies, point out the lie, and move on to showing how he hasn't fixed inflation, and how his actions are fucking people over, and how the Republicans are gutless cowards.

So Ka$h wants to work from home and run the fbi out of a house in Vegas where he lives with timeshare scammer Mike Muldoon?
