A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Ashevilleβ€”and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.

This is outrageous.

Ohio doesn't know who the fuck Vivek Ramaswamy is, or whence he came. They can't spell his last name. He is not of them.

Assuming no ratfuckery, he'll have a hard time winning.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

My luggage somehow always makes its connections. Luggage gets to take shortcuts while I stumble through the terminal, trying to go up the down escalator.

Why do I persist in trying to dress cute for the airport. Three missed connections later I look like I went through a blender on low speed.

The Yarvinite fanbois nicknamed their movement as "Endarkenment" for a reason.

They see themselves as sole authorities and princes of "network states" with an eternal peasant class that is uneducated, miseducated and easy to lead by the nose.

They are training ppl to not think.

This is why I get irrationally angry when folks get smug about literacy et al ..

Because folks are rushing to rehabilitate Nazis but just casually mocking folks who are being purposely undereducated for decades

Because helping them doesn’t get the points against an enemy

Aye man, DHS took a TikTok that featured a group of black kids sendingn a message to Iran, edited to make it look like they were threatening ICE, then posted that TikTok on their twitter profile and basically federally doxxed them. Like, essentially put a hit out on them…

I wish this was a lie.

I did not consider the repercussions of using a stovetop as a grill. There is a nice char on the steak. They're all in Virginia and I'm here.

I have no grill, so the recipe says a cast iron skillet will doβ€”It must be hot. I picked this stove for my parents kitchen, knowing it could get extremely hot. So I pull out my skillet and turn to a setting called β€œultra heat.”

Cooking Korean-style steak, supposed to be in Virginia, but living with my parents instead. In Cleveland. I l love my city, but all of my luggage, my whole life, was sent to Virginia and I am here. All of this is on my mind, as I mistake Worcestershire sauce for soy sauce.

There needs to be an equivalent of β€œtouch grass” for people like Klein.

And that has a human cost, to that man's family.

The official explanation is that the captain murdered every passenger then took a seven hour joyride with a plane full of dead bodies.

And people are spectacularly unconcerned with the fallout of this posthumous conviction.

The official explanation for MH370 will never sit right with me. It feels like convicting someone of murder without producing the body.

Just a bunch of folks who want us all living in a combination of dystopian sci-fi novels (Jennifer Government, Oryx and Crake, Parable of the Sower.) And they are dead serious.
