This guy is a colonel?? I've met infantry colonels who struggle to see a world bigger than the 400 meters in front of them, but I would have guessed no higher than major for this guy.

GREEK CAPTAIN OF A PANAMANIAN-FLAGGED MALAYSIAN OIL TANKER EN ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA WITH IRAQI CRUDE: "So is the Strait open or not?"

IRGC COMMANDER, REFRESHING TRUTH SOCIAL: "Look here man, I know just as much as you do, ok?"

This is weirdly a band I finally got into at 43.

"I practice my jazz standards."

I have trouble "unseeing" White, for better or worse.

Hayden White's "The Question of Narrative in Contemporary Historical Theory". Frank O' Hara's "Personism: a Manifesto".

A lady is pushing the 'snart' (soon in Norwegian) on the 'helg' (weekend in Norwegian) machine, indicating a powerful feeling of snart helg ('soon weekend').

Let us celebrate our new arrangement with the adding of snart to helg.

The “Jesse what the hell are you talking about“ meme

Trying to explain how you know about something to people who aren’t online is always funny
