It doesn't matter, because I got Schwäbischer Whisky from the Genussmarkt today. Prost everyone!

... sad to reflect that the ascendant political movement of our time is based on finding such a constellation offensive. But part of living in these times is to enjoy such moments, the weather, the bier, my wife's company, and the sound of children's voices.

Started the weekend drinking a bier with the Mrs. on our balcony, listening to kids play in the street in front of our house. Kids were Ukrainian refugees, 1st gen Chinese, 2nd gen Turkish, all playing tag and talking & arguing about rules in German, as kids do. Was lovely, but also....

'Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals'

Dreher's contract shows the Danube Institute pays him $8,750 a month, or $105,000 a year. The average Hungarian salary is roughly $17,480, according to Trading Economics.

A bunch of things suddenly make way more sense.

Drop your crime-fighting Catholics

The Difference Between Like and As You’ve seen the AI picture. Who hasn’t? What a sad question.

“Like Jesus” is possible. “As Jesus” is idolatry.

Gravy a song:

Oh come on, gravy, gravy, gravy, light my way.

I like IPAs - bought myself a nice Bavarian IPA as a treat at the Getränkladen the other day. But it can't be the only offering of good beers, as often is in the US. Don't need them on the menu if there's a great, cloudy Kellerbier or a respectable Weißbier, which you rarely find in the US.

Got to watch a true classic with my daughter tonight. Best way to end the week.

Perhaps you and I can arrange an accident where the cookies do not make to said "thing," but instead are disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Oh, ok.

Replace baked Mac'n'cheese with Käsespätzle.
