A ride I do crosses the Bruckner twice. That’s bad enough, forget riding the service road.

There’s also this piece, which I think of as basically descriptive onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...

Every time someone takes a journey in a car, the lives of others are made worse. Each journey entails harm — to human and non-human life and the environments that support such life. Mostly, that harm is not intended.

“Never did I think that if I was wounded that these things would happen,” said Bearman, who has served for over three decades, including in Afghanistan. “Some sacred trust that I thought would never be broken was broken.” #Iran #TrumpWar apnews.com/article/iran...

Republicans think it's "normal" to back a Senate candidate who was indicted for securities fraud, was impeached by members of his own party, was accused of bribery by his own aides and was sued by his wife for divorce "on biblical grounds" after a long-running affair.

I always just made sure I could understand my scorecard. So if 5-5-3 tells you the third baseman stepped on third for one out and threw to first for another, it’s great. If he caught a liner and threw to first you might go with 5(L)- 5-3. Or something else you come up with. It’s all for yourself.

"The closer autocrats come to their end, the more frenziedly do they build. Nero embarked on a golden palace before he was driven to suicide. Marie Antoinette built a model hamlet before she was beheaded. Hitler pored over architectural plans in his bunker during his final days."

Bessent, after being corrected: “Ok, Oppenheimer got a doctorate in physics. From a German university. But if the Germans were any good at physics they would have built the bomb first! See, that’s logic!”

So what if Trump “bans” CNN, MSNOW & POLITICO from the WH? Hearing him lie in person is the least important part of their jobs although they treat it as the most important. No journalism ever happens there. Reporting Watergate, I don’t think Woodward & Bernstein ever stepped foot in the White House.
