Yellow Pack - Wikipedia

In Ireland "Yellow Pack" was the Temu of its 1980s and the term is still in pretty regular use to mean the same thing. Maybe Temu will have similar legs.

He has a seppuku kit.

Your face when you come in late and your mother is all:
"Have you been out jousting again?! I told you not to hang around with those boys, I don't care how good your armor is! Your betrothal is nullified if your face is sullied"

Need to replace a bread knife and it is going a little like that scene in Pulp Fiction.

"They can all cut bread right?"

I'm going to end up with a machette for the sourdough...

How many ovens must a man convect,

Before you control the root access?

Top Trump official says no US β€˜slush fund’ for far right in Europe β€˜It’s not America’s decision to govern who’s elected in Europe,’ Sarah Rogers tells POLITICO.

Bit of message management on the ground in Munich from Rogers via Politico calling FT reporting, or formulation of it, a "lie".

Pretty sure I know who I'd credit more.

When they talk about shared "values" they mean the ones they share with the AfD in Germany, the fascists, the racists, the blood-and-soil creeps.

They're already preparing BTW. The important visit from the State Dept this week is not Rubio in Munich.

It is Rogers in Dublin, the US tech outpost, with her Maga money.

The next time the Europeans will become the subject of American attention is when they roar about regulation of American companies within EU markets, jurisdictions, societies.

Otherwise they've convinced themselves they're "done" with Europe.

So Rubio's speech is piece of paper to commit to the fire, no signals or substance in it at all.

That American token appearance at Munich is intended to keep NATO / EU relationships off the board while the Cuba / Iran games are being played.

There is zero capacity in the WH, NSC, State Dept to actually engage on any level with Europe / Ukraine. A totally hollowed out diplo / admin apparatus.
