I hope cooks and waitstaff spit in this guy’s food for the rest of his life.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Okay, this is the best take for Patriots haters.
Because it means you also get to dunk on the Jets, which is a national pastime.

I’ve had a Substack scraper running for a couple of years now (starting when I read Katz’s Atlantic article in November 2023). Every once in a while I check in on it, and the Nazi situation over there is very much not getting better.
I wish I could feel comfortable reading and sharing people's substacks, as there are really passionate people posting articles that are in my wheelhouse. But, I've not seen anything to say that they're combating their nazi bar status, only being fine with it and seeing them as 'thought leaders'.

At this point I'm just kind of amazed that Bluesky doesn't have a proper iPad app. I almost entirely interact with it via the web site as a result.

Generally speaking i think you can judge people based on how much Vince McMahon hates them. And McMahon hates Ventura with a blinding passion.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Huh, I thought they did this like 30 years ago. I haven’t seen an MTV channel on cable in decades, but maybe it’s been on those super-high numbers that I never go to?
MTV is officially ending all of its music channels.
In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

I ate at a small restaurant where Mike Rutherford was also eating, prior to Genesis playing a concert in town.
Please quote this from the time you didn't interact with someone famous.
I was visiting with family in New Bedford, Massachusetts, at the same time that Mother Theresa was there visiting her Missionaries of Charity. The bishop held a Mass for her at the church where I was baptized. I didn't go.

Catching a train from Bristol Temple Meads, but they shifted the service along the platform because a scene from THE OUTLAWS was being shot where it would usually come in. The scene featured Christopher Walken and Stephen Merchant, but my train came before they shot it so I didn't see either of 'em.

I say this in no way to detract from the novel, which I’m sure I will preorder at the first opportunity:
How great would it be if this had illustrations by Stewart Cowley?

New book on its way! For the last few years I’ve been working on ‘The First Hundred Hours, a story of Alien Invasion.’ Updates coming soon!
