US Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the leader America needs and the world deserves. And Elon Musk can indeed fuck off.

I'm reminded of a caricature of a fat guy in a pinstripe suit and a bib, forking dollar bills into his mouth.

Currently reading: _A World Undone: The Story of the Great War, 1914 to 1918_. I learned the proper pronunciation of "Ypres" is not "Why-prez" or "Yipriss" or "Wipers" (as the British trench soldiers called it). It is, actually, more like... "Eep". I will likely never learn French.

Anyway forget all that THIS IS THE REAL REASON I WENT TO #TAIWAN 🇹🇼

This movie theater in #Tainan that hand-paints its own posters is closing down, so I had to get one final picture of it during my visit this weekend. Farewell, 全美戲院 ポスターを手描きする台南の映画館が営業終了するので最後の写真をいただいた。長年お疲れ様でした

再見台湾🇹🇼

Cue "THANK YOU FANS" graphic

Last morning in #Tainan and it's 7:30 am and there are already fighter planes screaming over the city in formation on training flights. Reminds me of when we lived in Kakamigahara years ago, right underneath the JASDF air base climbout zone, afterburners shaking the windows

Mission accomplished #tainan 🇹🇼

wtf

#Tainan 🇹🇼

#Tainan food uunnnngggh

Chimei Museum, #Tainan 🇹🇼

Recall them all. Permanently.

Transit NGO🇯🇵→TPE🇹🇼 3-day trip to #Tainan to, essentially, eat ALL THE THINGS

US school districts spend lavishly on bright yellow school buses with flashing lights and strobes, ferrying kids around in essentially emergency vehicles (failing to stop for one during a pickup is akin to attempted murder). But free meals are out, huh.

Yeah, this.

I heard Scotland for one... brief... moment. #amateurradio

The first words Tomoyuki Sugano said to his new Orioles teammates, via interpreter: “Let’s go win a world championship.”

We accuse Trump of trying to run the government like a business, but even successful businesses recognize that there are benefits to goodwill beyond monetary profit. Positive image, collaboration, alliances. Trump will do nothing for anyone without an invoice.

I often get irrationally frustrated at old creaky #amateurradio web sites that are so f$%&ing SLOW that a 100MB download of Log4OM takes 7 f$%&ing minutes despite my 10Gbps pipe. The hell are these guys using as a server, a Commodore VIC20?!
