I agree. It’s similar to the lamentation “that’s not who we are” whenever something bad happens in this country. On the contrary, history and common sense say that’s precisely who we are.

The book “Teach Your Dog Gaelic” by Anne Cakebread.

The clerk at Blackwells asked me if my dog listens to me when I speak English. I said she does not, but maybe she would think was more serious when speaking Gaelic so she would actually listen.

3 Scenarios That Explain the Epstein Debacle All reflect poorly on the Department of Justice.

The Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case appears to constitute the rare controversy in which there are no innocuous explanations for what has unfolded. The possibilities range from bad to worse for everyone involved.

I had a dream last night in which I discovered that cats can speak English, though they do not actually understand what they’re saying. Dogs do not have this ability. In my dream, I was completely unsurprised to learn this.

Fact 1 "The spectacular acceleration in global renewable investment is, in fact, a story about 1 country: China"

Fact 2 "The renewable share of new capacity additions in electricity generation worldwide is 90%" -Tooze

I used to ride with a club sponsored by Cannondale, so I like to see an EF rider do well. Also: shout out to my friends who work at C’dale!
