@JimJamitis @JonahDispatch "The things people say are not meant to be measured on the scale of truth. They are only the signs by which one indicates which team one belongs to, like the identification ‘friend-or-foe’ signals that warplanes emit" --Herbert Stein (on Sunday talk shows)

Yesterday I ordered an obscure book and a 20 pound bag of dog food on Amazon. Today it was delivered to my house in rural upstate New York. Remind me again why Jeff Bezos doesn’t deserve to be a billionaire?

HBO should roll out a limited series about the world's best forensic seashell expert, living a life of peaceful retirement, haunted by the seashell cases of the past, called back to the Bureau for one last case

I trivial pet peeve of mine is the use of "control" in sports reporting. If you win game 5 to go up 3 -2 you are not in control of the playoff series, as the Strib would have it, you are merely ahead/leading.

I held deep respect for National Review long before Trump dominated the political scene. They’ve maintained principles because they call balls and strikes. They don’t automatically go all for or all against, unlike far too many. Meanwhile, you’ve sold out. We all see it.

I gather some of our conservative friends are unhappy with the Bulwark. Fine. But I'm proud we have continued to stand athwart Trump, yelling Stop, at a time when so many who were at first inclined to do so quit doing so, and then became annoyed at those of us still standing.

@jaycost Harris doesn't go far enough. Jefferson wasn't dumb but he was a fool about many things and should have been tried for his actions during the Quasi-War.

San Francisco International Airport debuts its visitor pass program for people who want to enter post-security without an airline ticket. It’s called SFO Gate Explorer. Other U.S. airports have similar programs. With Gate Explorer access, you can greet friends and family on domestic arrivals, walk loved ones to their gates, grab a bite or shop post-security, watch planes take off and land, or join special airport events—all without flying. A few important rules: this pass is for personal use only (no business or commercial activity), and meeting international arrivals isn’t allowed—you’ll need to meet them in the International Terminal Arrivals Hall instead. All participants, including minors, must complete a TSA background check, and everyone must follow standard airport security rules. Minors under 18 must stay with an approved adult at all times. Visitors need to plan ahead, review TSA guidelines, apply in advance on the SFO website, and enjoy a unique behind-the-scenes airport experience at SFO.

@IzaBooboo By immediately becoming a hack supporter of the Democrats he gave credence to the Trump supporters' claim that it wasn't about principle.

And, I just want to register my deep disappointment in you and the path you chose. I had a lot of respect for you. I thought you had integrity. You don't. That you are attempting this ridiculous posture that you are the principled person is embarrassing and beneath a serious person. But you stopped being a serious person a long time ago. No one sees you like that anymore. We all know what you are. Shameful.
