@jasondiamond.bsky.social Jason, sorry I missed your Boswell’s event! Got back from Ireland Friday, hit Boswell’s yesterday. Oh, and Renaissance on airport arrival. Grabbed a Kafka book!

The LA Times reported on the 27-page letter the Trump geniuses sent to UCLA listing their whiny demands.

Surprise: It’s sloppy.

It was cool to wake up this morning here in County Clare and see the little x beside the Brewers. Only one on the chart. A “clinch indicator,” they call it.

Been rainy and windy a ton the past 10 days here in North County Clare but a brief window opened and right after taking this shot a bat hunting insects swooped into my left shoulder. Better than my face, I guess. #burren
