Friday night dinner resembles RFK Jr : a quack.

@biodegabriel.bsky.social THERE ARE ENTIRE COOKBOOKS AND A RESTAURANT DEDICATED TO THE FLAVOR. apnews.com/article/ranc...

Today is the most important celebration in the #MLB calendar. Thank you, Jackie Robinson, for letting us see the powerful positive impact of opportunity in baseball.

Orbán's loss last night does not bode well for 47. It is a significant win for the EU (and the Hungarians) 🇪🇺

Yesterday, after a lunch of gooey St-Marcellin with honey and walnuts, followed by steak tartare with fries and a simple green salad, all the while watching the #Paris Marathon outside, I retreated home. Around 16:30 I thought a nap might be nice. I just got up at 03:30. Double espresso pulled.

#Paris Marathon today in front of my building. I had steak tartare for lunch watching it all, cursing that I can't run any more after spraining my ankle three times. Permanent proprioception issues in L ankle. Denver sports medicine doc : "It would have been better to have broken your ankle." 😢

I picked a hell of a month to stop drinking.

Bi-weekly Saturday afternoon habit : non-stop news consumption from over a dozen sites, including the main rag in Denver -- the last city in the US that was home until nearly three years ago. I do this while my housekeeper is here. Local politics is awful as ever, as is crime. 1/2

Three years ago, after a blessed life of 15 years, he went to the place all (mostly) good doggos wander off to for eternity. Note how the cooling racks are away from the edge of the table. There is a reason for this. We love and miss you, Scooter.

How do I watch the Champions League game playing right now for free ? I won't buy a TV here, just want to watch it online without subscribing to something I largely otherwise won't use or need. FYI, live in France.

Another TACO Tuesday 🌮🌮🌮

Between the #SFGiants as of late and the impending (implied) drama from the WH, I may have miscalculated my EtOH pause. Today is day 8. On the bright side : April in Paris, 23º and sunny at 16h30.

Seen on reddit this morning. Unattributed artist.

Series against NYM over. Warm weather in SF, cold bats. #SFGiants lose series. Now bottom of NL West 🫤

Saw this in the #Paris subreddit tonight. His insults to the rest of NATO and the illegal war against Iran, coupled with mocking Macron and his wife are not doing his popularity many favors here.

EU serendity #MLB

Douze années des changement profonds. Brava. #Paris

WTF ? US military flying VFR using visual separation and a commercial A/C was TCAS-alerted ? I've flown through that airspace VFR. Once. Never again. www.sfchronicle.com/travel/artic...

"Wall Street has hit a six month low as the Middle East war weighs on investor sentiment at the New York stock exchange." Thanks be to 47, who out TACOed Taco Bell. Do what must be done in November.

Fuck Aramark. www.sfgate.com/giants/artic...

No wonder. They've had nearly 15K years to train us. #Dogs www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

LOL www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh fuck off. We're ALL going to die of something. Red wine is the least i my concerns. This American run from death is bothersome and dull. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

You, too, can register with the US gov't if you live abroad and get cheery messages. March 22, 2026 - The Department of State advises Americans worldwide to exercise increased caution. Location: Worldwide

I usually have Radio France Piano Zen on in the background (thanks, @namakosan415.bsky.social). But a solely piano version of "Black Hole Sun" with a classical bent is a bit much, TBH.

Words escape me. apnews.com/article/robe...

The homo is home after thre warm nights in Bordeaux. Train is quiet and relaxing. Stations (Montparnasse et Bordeaux St-Jean) are the opposite : frenetic and crowded.

Returning from Bordeaux on the TGV at 320 km/h.

“devout Baptists” Uh-huh. apnews.com/article/jose...

Ironic : after the French government notified me there was an aberration in my renewal application for a residency permit without saying what the the issue was (I asked), it was approved this afternoon—no explanation as to why. I’m good for another year. And on my final night in Bordeaux.

A quiet, light dinner of fois gras and confit de canard. Parfait. #Bordeaux

Attention @troisgalopins.bsky.social : apnews.com/article/mezc...

Three nights in Bordeaux. Starting out on a classic : radishes, butter, and salt.

Where in this article is Chalamet "called out"? Fucking clikcbait. Opera star Nadine Sierra dazzles at Bay Area recital — and calls out Timothée Chalamet www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Kudos, kiddo. As a (no longer active) pilot of small planes, I know this feeling of decisions in the moment... several times #AvGeek

Booked a trip to SFO from CDG for my birthday before fuel prices increase.

47 and his band of sycophants are slowly destroying the economy. Thank goodness I don't have a car and live abroad.

Vieux ami picked out an amazing place for dinner in the 2è tonight. Chef's choice with wine pairing, playful food. Must return. www.thefork.com/restaurant/b...

I need a break from the daily cacophony. Where to ?

What a dumbass. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

@lorifontanes.bsky.social Hurry ! Supplies are limited ! www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

EVERY FUCKING YEAR. American media on blast over daylight savings time changes. Ours happens at the end of the month with a Gallic shrug. Mind you, I live north of Montréal per latitude. Darker winters, sunny until 22h30 in the summer.

@lorifontanes.bsky.social The climate misses you 😑

Saturday night meal on rue de Sébastopol #Paris A lot of people out on a Saturday night. Perfect people watching.

Last one : a very moving and historical ode to the awful racism of the era (not that it's much better today). www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DGY...

Sorry boys and girls : it's music Friday night here. Tierney Sutton's version of "Driven to Tears" with a brilliant opening (if you don't know why, ask and I'm happy to answer). www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcCT...
