Oh come on now, as a liar he is all but peerlessly smooth.

Brilliant.

Needs a trigger warning. 😡

The U.S. Is Back to Squeezing Iran’s Economy The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz marks a shift in strategy—but not necessarily in outcome.

Hope it was fun! I'm in a very similar spot right now: slow cook a beef vindaloo prepared yesterday, make an eggplant curry, warm a prepped goan fish curry sauce, prep the fish (added last), make dhal, raita, rice and papadams, and greet the dozen guests due in two hours for a family birthday. 😁

Amazon just informed me that they will stop supporting my Kindle in May. It has been in use for less than 20 years. I guess it is time to finally move out of the Amazon ecosystem. Any recs on ereaders and where to purchase ebooks?

I deleted my twitter account and decided to be more active here instead. I’ve been on twitter for a decade or so now — and I’m just not a big fan of what it had become.

"Race communism": what Carmelo Ezpeleta calls the MSMA's demands for revenue sharing in MotoGP.

Every credulous buffoon in Tech Journalism:

"She's not my type." "They say Barron is Jeffrey's." "She came to me begging me, 'Please Sir please just do what you want with me. People say Arnold Palmer is jealous.' I told her to go back to the shithole she came from. I couldn't get rid of her soon enough. She doesn't even speak English."

If Melania can make a speech, she can testify before Congress

Lunch outside. Tom Yum soup, chips and salsa and a 0% beer.

It doesn’t get better than eating outside for me. Bliss 💚

Wolff has claimed to have recordings that say worse than this. And he and Melania have already been litigating for months.
