Agreed. Two of them are kind of universal rules for people who are not criminals. Do not kill. Do not steal. The other eight are all civil matters at best.

Arthur Harris famously said, “It has never been tried yet, and we shall see.” He said that in 1942. We gave it a jolly good try. We saw that it was insufficient.

I used to stay from time to time at an airport hotel adjacent to Heathrow. When Concorde departed, you knew it. And that wasn’t even sonic boom. That was just a bunch of good old fashioned turbojets in reheat.

Hermann Göring vibes.

Burn the ships!

I just got off a 72 hours time-out for less than that.

We need the special shades. 😎

It’s George Takei’s birthday. Also mine. Can’t think of anyone else.

I mean I’ve had sushi in Valparaiso Indiana, but it wasn’t the best.

I toured a museum of torture devices yesterday, and I’m thinking a gibbet ought to be a small enough cage.

It’s only in California though, because Gavin Newsom. Everywhere else is fine.

It really should be zero below 21.

Indulgences kinda the reason we got Protestantism.

But there was no game…

We are going to lose some consequential vote, maybe even fail to take control of the chamber. But our consciences will be so clear.

AP: she took some pills, or stepped in front of a train

FACTS: she set herself on fire

I hope we have a World Cup and nobody comes.

I’m in Italy right now, been here less than 48 hours. It’s lovely. Please enjoy the local mood.

Five minutes ago, our aircraft crossed into Canadian airspace. All y’all try to hold things together until I get back.

He can be this much of a vulgar fuckup, but no women spilling tea on him? Not that they wouldn’t make a special exception for him.

Up around Yosemite our snowpack was not great, but we did get a lot of rainfall. The seasonal grasses and weeds that usually come up in late April started coming up in the middle of March. I’ve already cleared my lots twice. There will be an abundance of fuel.

I am confident that we are not just going to put up 16 head shots on a wall and throw darts at them.

I’m less sure we don’t just vote for the guys with the most money or go chasing another unicorn.

The beast on the exam is merely a dromedary. If he said camel, I would not allow it.

Way back in 1998, we went to the brewery as a day trip out of Prague. We took the tour and ate at the little restaurant there. As I recall, we got 50cl pours for the equivalent of about 25¢. I’m sure times have changed.

That’s not how the CA primary works.

Republicans get about 40% of the vote in CA statewide elections. Bianco and Hilton are going to split that 40%. Best case for them, they split it 20/20 and no (D) gets to 20. But if they go 25/15, we just have to get one (D) to 16 and we win 60/40 in November.

In 1997, I flew into Heathrow on the day Labour returned to power. Coincidentally, I am flying into Heathrow tomorrow. To find out when I might be flying into Heathrow in the future, subscribe to my newsletter.

A friend of mine sent me his accelerator telemetry while he was aboard a cruise, and the bobbing was about a 1G +/- 0.1G long period sine. I could feel the data.

Barbarella?

I try to imagine the circumstances in which he ever ate a meal that wasn’t catered out of a commercial kitchen and served to him.

The Hungarian economy is a leaky bucket, draining directly into the oligarchic trough.
