It turns out I have a map of Spain on the back of my head. I wonder if it glows during Cava bottling season or when I have tapas.

Not everything is a dumpster fire even though it may feel that way. Remember that one They Might Be Giants song you love, how great cigarettes and coffee are together, drinking bourbon by a fire, naked cuddles, don’t give up hope.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

I don’t like to rebroadcast shitty news because there is enough of that in the world already. Here’s some garbage I know nothing about, but will help me identify trash out on the streets. I’m sorry.

Saying goodbye to Phoenix for this trip, added another adopted family to my clan. Give me a chance and I’ll steal your family too. AZ, hate your politics, love your climate. I guess we agree to disagree.

In today’s Phoenix update, avoided Barrett-Jackson, took a deep dive into the Musical Instrument Museum. P.S. I am not actually a whirling dervish though I do now have fez envy.

NEW: Between today's anti-trans House vote and last Friday's SCOTUS decision to hear an appeal over the anti-gay challenge to PrEP, as broad as that case has gotten, it is clear just how difficult the path ahead could be for queer people. Today, at Law Dork —>

Another reason to dump Meta apps. If they can’t keep your data private and secure, or hinder the spread of lies and disinformation, how is Facebook or IG helpful to your wellbeing?

Tycho last night at First Ave. The band paused as someone was struggling in the back, after the person made it up and out the show continued. If a concert could feel like a hug, that one did.

Dinner party test drive inspired by a Venice dinner. The poor server came to the table and started chatting, based on his accent I asked if he was from Chicago. Deadpan was his reply, “I’m from Ukraine”. and left. 😬

I went to Italy and took pictures and ate pasta, surprising. Also laughed at gift shop offerings, it’s a shame I don’t have kids.

Some coworkers popped up with new profile pictures in Teams, which looked like they had taken up modeling. They laughed saying it was AI. So here I am looking like I am about to take your life savings in a Ponzi scheme.

I love a 156 page Staff Report. It’s like a What I Did on Summer Vacation essay for criminals. https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/democrats.oversight.house.gov/files/2024-01-04.COA%20DEMS%20-%20Mazars%20Report.pdf
