Someone is going scorched earth in our local anglo expats/immigrants group and it is a sight to behold.

Parabéns Capo Verde!

I'm with Kyle. Hence why I am CONSISTENTLY reminding all of that we must RAISE our expectations of politicians. RAISE YOUR EXPECTATIONS. It has to be the NORM that they deliver on what they say they will do.

The kids are feeling homesick and are diving into the collected works of Danny McBride as a result.

This is really cool. I skipped on cloth diapers because the up-front costs were high and I wouldn't be able to use them in a daycare setting, but it would have been nice for nights and weekends.

Patricia Lockwood is 80% of the reason I subscribe to London Review of Books. Essays like this are 80% of the reason for that reason. Good Lord, what a journey.

I'm sorry, but calling a smiley, dad-coded accountant who's worked in municipal government for years an extremist seems a little out of touch.

If your values are in line with the values of the Democratic Party, you should absolutely run as a Democrat. I would rather have an angry candidate who criticizes the party and goes hard in the paint for civil rights than a Republican looking for a soft place to land and hide from Trump.

The few remaining Orange Juliuses out there are like those Japanese soldiers they found on pacific islands in the 70s who didn’t know the war was over.

The elementary school up the street is having student camping on the school grounds. The kids are playing flashlight tag and it's really charming.

Big day in Portugal.
