Have you ingested poison and you need to make yourself throw up but you just can't?

Try listening to "Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon" by Neil Diamond.

My final food recommendation is Forno da Milvio. The pizza and the suppli (breaded cheese rice balls) were so moreish. Here's a candid photo my wife took of me as I left the building.

All in all Rome is a fantastic place for food and culture. I hope you enjoy your time there, Hagai ❤️

I'd also recommend visiting the Feral Feline Colonies Torre Argentina for a cat lover such as yourself. Visit Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara if you enjoy fish. Get a maritozzo or other pastries at Antico Forno Roscioli

As you can see I spent most of my time in Rome eating and I highly recommend it 😂

The tiramisu at Two Sizes was amazing. It's a bit of a tourist spot but still I'd recommend it.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

TIL that there is a song by Taylor Swift, that came out in 2024, with these completely real lyrics:

'We would pick a decade
We wished we could live in instead of this
I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists'

I don't think that "writing fire" GIF could do this masterpiece justice.

It might not be as newsworthy as a few hundred racists outside a hotel here in the UK, but this is the crowd that gathered in solidarity with Gaza in Amsterdam today.
