Jonathan Sacks - Everybody Hates A Tourist

Obviously it's great to have Noem gone, but my husband sent me a social media post from the bad site in which someone characterized firing Noem and replacing her with Markwayne Mullin as being like shitting your pants and running home to change your shirt, and I can't stop laughing at the accuracy.

It's everyone's pal Josh going in deep with one of my favorite songwriters & musicians of all time, to all of our benefit.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Off Road is a blast. Probably my all-time favorite arcade game

Yup. The last time Spain helped the U.S. in a war, they ended up with the train bombings in Madrid

1-nil to the Arsenal! Massive, massive day. Title destiny is back in their hands. Breathe.

ASU just beat #14 Kansas by 10 in what might be Bobby Hurley’s last home game. At the very least, they’re going down fighting & nobody will want to face them in the Big-12 conference tournament

I can’t believe the GIF search here doesn’t have the double birds

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

I don’t care if antisemitism is “more prevalent on the right”, the point of my personal political project is that bigotry of all kinds has no place in a functioning society so I need to make sure that the people who claim they are on my side aren’t bigots. I have more contact with those people.

Congrats on the nomination!

Holy fuck (no pun intended)

A wine country rival to the American River Bike Path Will the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail be the next regional crown jewel?

I'm so friggin excited about the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail and I can't believe more people don't know about it.

Could well be the second best bike-to-wine trail in California (after Napa's Vine Trail). And it's happening NOW: housesac.substack.com/p/a-wine-cou...

I know that everyone here hates the “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” messaging but “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” is likely the single thing about this nightmare that will most affect the day to day lives of a lot of people in the US

Perfect warm-ups for the August 23rd Grand Marshal

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US.

His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism.
And he failed.

Busy day for the New England Journal of Medicine

That's the plan, and to the extent the Trump admin even wanted to help (they don't), they illegally dismantled the mechanisms for it, like USAID.

It would've served our strategic interests greatly for millions of Iranians to see boxes and crates of vital supplies with U.S. flags on them. Oh well.
