See, my whole problem is that all I want to be doing is reading and eating bread, but I have to do other stuff in order to buy bread and books.

The whole Cheesecake Factory thing is such a pre-2016 nostalgia trip. I almost forgot this is what political discourse was for years, manufactured rage about beige suits and Obama maybe being too fancy. The whole thing might as well be scored by MGMT.

Your boss Obama’s joke is Cheesecake Factory has a cheap & garish design. Most normal Americans consider Cheesecake to be a high end, expensive place to eat reserved for special occasions. You guys are tone deaf. And, yes, I’m clearly too dumb to comprehend your brilliance too.

Just saw a guy and his two preteen sons jogging at night and the dad was wearing a headband that had a bright light in it, like a coal miners helmet, so they could all see each other and the path. Delightful

The exit polls are out, and the projections are as expected: the Eisenkot-led opposition bloc can depose Netanyahu by forming a minority government supported by Arab parties who are willing to play this role — but most of the bloc’s leaders have ruled this out👇

I followed Israel’s election campaign so you don’t have to. Bottom line: Rather than win with the help of Palestinian parties, the anti-Netanyahu bloc is preparing to lose without them. 972mag.com/israeli-election-…

50 shades of right: An Israeli election primer

While Netanyahu’s bloc adds more extremists to its ranks, his opponents are impeding their own path to power by refusing to work with Arab parties.

“Arabs don’t produce literature” is really something you can only say if you’ve never had a moment’s contact with genuine civilization. A mind totally consumed by television and self-help books.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

please do tell me which war crimes the Japanese interior minister committed lately with my tax dollars

NYT's Bret Stephens whines that Democrats know "Smotrich and Ben-Gvir" but not "the interior minister of Japan." Their "obsession" with Israel drives him "crazy." (Being politically informed on Israel is now anti-Semitic.)

I hate election season, everyone argues about dumb shit that doesn't matter and then either idiots vote based on the dumb shit or everyone claims they voted based on some other dumb shit and the whole time it's impossible to relax bc you can never tell which dumb shit will win

Centrists, liberals, and leftists are fighting each other about advertisements and endorsements and podcasters and consultants while conservatives are fighting everyone about the Cheesecake Factory. I hate it here.

The idea of putting out videos with my face and voice on camera in the age of AI and biometrics and whatever else seems foolhardy.

Someone cut the power supply to a voting station in Fortaleza, where Lula won 53% of votes in the first round. Luckily the electronic voting machines have internal batteries so nothing happened

The Bernie team tried to get this into the Democratic platform in 2016, the Clinton team blocked it. We tried again in 2020, the Biden team blocked it. Glad folks are coming around but it’s absurd that it’s taken this long on what should be a noncontroversial point of fact.

One of many critical points in Jon Finer's excellent post-elections Israel policy agenda for Democrats: "A new approach should also start from the principle that U.S. policy will distinguish occupied territory and Israel proper." nytimes.com/2026/10/23/opini…

Opinion | Democrats Need a Tough New Approach to Israel, Even if Netanyahu Loses

The upcoming elections won’t deliver an end to the attacks on Palestinians without tough new penalties from the U.S.

It's crazy that there are only 17 Olmec heads in existence and even crazier that Bart Simpson owns one of them

I want to visit ancient sites and the Amazon river/rainforest but I don't want to contribute to their degradation and I think only researchers and caretakers should be allowed on those sites anyway and no tourists whatsoever. I should get into conservation.
