Brave of NYT / The Athletic to write on the soccer / football terminology, knowing the twits that it will attract. To keep in mind: any claim that only Americans call it "soccer" needs to align that claim with usage in Australia and Ireland. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

On Trump's health, a detail from that NYT article seemed to get lost: "He does not get regular exercise, in part because he has a long-held theory that people are born with a finite amount of energy & that vigorous activity can deplete that reserve, like a battery." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Major Announcement: Effective immediately, I am switching all my wine purchases to South Africa. The Thanksgiving selection is the Salt River 2023 Sauvignon Blanc from the Duncan Savage winery, Cape Town. As fine a bottle as one could find in any #G20 country.

MacGyver was one of the few GenX pop culture nostalgia reference points that hadn't been tainted. No more.
So, in other interesting discoveries, Kathy Ruemmler nicknamed Trump "McGuyver" because he reminded her of mannerisms in the TV character.
This led to some coded conversations between her and Epstein about Trump.
Here is Epstein talking about a conversation he had with "Mcgiver" in 2016 (!!!).

Times were tough at the Ohio paper mill factory when a Miami-based investment fund decided to close it down. Then their new Republican Senator gave them something to cheer about by promising to keep it open. But now the woke mob that he says Sherrod Brown would have organized is proven correct.

The diagnosis that USA politics is becoming Latin American may have the broad sweep of Presidentialism correct, but it misses a contrast: LatAm is populist presidents who lack legislative control and therefore can't pass anything. USA is an absent legislature.
