Check out Nimes. There’s a Roman Coliseum that’s one of the best preserved in the world. It’s still used for concerts and bullfights! Thomas Jefferson modeled the Virginia statehouse after an ancient Roman temple. Also nearby you can rent kayaks and kayak down the river and under the Pont du Gard.
Zooey and I spent some time in Arles and what a cool city. Between the Arena where you could see graffiti from Roman times, the 1800s, and today; the Medieval cloisters and beautiful courtyards; and the original Roman forum and administrative halls, you could feel yourself walking through history.

Let's recap the timeline for those of you who haven't been following.
Friday: a deportation flight containing 88 Brazilians takes off from American soil. The deportees are handcuffed and bound in leg irons, as is standard practice on such flights. The Americans are flying into a trap.

I swear to God, Lula and Lewandowski have got to be laughing their asses off at the Plantalto that the result of their stunt is a Trump temper tantrum against Colombia.

My bad. Assumed he might have a crash pad in Raleigh. He definitely lives down here…have friends who are neighbors. Why would he move 3 hours away after joining the COA?
That appears to be a different Jefferson Griffin. Looks like the judge sold his Raleigh residence in 2021, a few months after joining Court of Appeals

It’s hard to overstate how devastating and destructive these January 6 pardons are. This sends the message that the right of the people to choose our own leaders no longer matters because the results can merely be overturned by force.

If your response when people are killed by someone driving thru a celebrating crowd is to opportunistically make up facts about the driver to further your preexisting prejudices, instead of mourn the dead, your indifference to the lives of those killed means you have much in common with that driver.

Trump has no idea how complex global industries like pharma and med dev operate. As this article mentions, 80% of API is manufactured overseas and we import a ton of generic medicines because the profit margins are so thin it’s too costly to produce them here. 🤦

Okay.
The February 28, 1962 edition of Charles Hudson's newsletter. Hudson was tried for sedition in 1944 for his support of the Nazi regime. He was a white nationalist antisemitic fascist his entire life. He claimed the polio vaccine killed people, and he also hated fluoride too.

The United States has the highest GDP in the world by *ten trillion dollars*. It's not even close. Americans should retire at 60 w/ full pension. We should have free universal healthcare. We should have free PreK-PhD education. This belt-tightening ideology is a neurotoxin limiting our potential.

Shitler's cabinet nominees tell us how limited the scope of his associations are. Basically, it's extended family and people he knows from the TV. Quite pathetic.
