Look. If you never have, get yourself to London for a visit. It’s fairly affordable compared to other places (more so in the off season), and while spending a bit of money helps, there’s plenty of free things to do.
You could spend a lifetime finding new things in London.

So, @joerybicki.com… the inside of the Walkie Talkie Building is the good kind of ridiculous. I’d rate I higher than the Empire State Building simply because there’s more than enough seating for everyone.

I don’t know if anyone is watching Mike Johnson addressing Parliament, but I think it’s dawning on everyone here that he’s not here to help, but to lecture and insist on Trumpian reality.

There’s a Tube station called Monument—just “Monument.” It’s for this…The Monument, a colossal Doric column smack between office and apartment towers, commemorating the Great London Fire.
In my line of work, we call this “brand inconsistency.” Should be “THE Monument” always or never.

I see people agonizing over Gavin Newsom and his Shapiro interview.
Look, and I say this as a Californian who has, in the past, voted for ol’ Gav. We are ALL aware the he cares more about his own hair than people.
Someone told him to look centrist so he can be President.
He won’t be President.
