surely if you’re doing a race-themed wedding during a grid walk, you should be waving green flags and not checkered flags #IMSA

This is just about the most telegenic guy on the planet. Moral, holy, and smoking hot. Man did they fuck up or what?

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

They don’t even pretend to believe a thing Jesus said.

Bessent just spent $20 billion of MY tax money bailing out Argentina.

That was a remarkably easy travel day, all things considered.

F1 drivers being resistant to cool suits is crazy to me. We had a cool shirt setup in the Golf and it was amazing when racing on a 90-degree day in 60% humidity.

Former F1 strategist and F1TV presenter Ruth Buscombe is on my flight to ATL. Wonder if she’s also going to PLM?

Terminal 3 just became my new favorite. They have dim sum in the Cathay lounge!

Ferrari was seriously not messing around when it came to making sure everyone’s phones (and laptops) had their cameras obscured by privacy stickers.

Going to explore some new lounges, as everyone says go to Qantas or Cathay, not BA’s.

These movements globally are at root a refusal to hear the word “no”. There can be no external restrictions. No planetary chemistry may interfere with profit, no law may block executive power. Thus the platform.

Jay Kay used to have one, saw him about a few times.

Also, on a family holiday in the South of France we got passed by one on the A8 doing about 130 mph, also in period. That thing sounded amazing.

The last couple of times I rewatched DS9 I started at season 3. Beginning this time with season 1 it’s now *extremely* obvious to me that Garak is coming on to Julian.

Wish I knew some remedial Italian. I wonder if my brain can still learn a language at nearly 50?

Yes, but had to go to Maranello first. (The reason why will be online in just under an hour)

And if you try and explain that to a normie they think you’re insane.

Apparently my BA flight to Atlanta goes out of Terminal 3? That’s bizarre.
