I have been to Patagonia twice now: once on the Argentina side and then a few months ago on the Chile side. It’s all one wild land mass down there though, with variable weather that can change multiple times a day and vary by microclimate. https://www.rfr.bz/b61d221

Named for Thomas Jefferson, the historic Jefferson Highway from Winnipeg to New Orleans is starting to get noticed and appreciated by travelers: perceptivetravel.com/blog/2025/07... #TravelSky #travel #history #RoadTrip #ScenicByway #JeffersonHighway #transportation

this is the first time i've laughed about this whole awful stupid situation.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

If you're only reading headlines and see "Trump Says He Won't Use Force" it will give you a misimpression of both how bellicose this speech is and how dug in he is on Greenland.

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

A tour of Paisley Park near Minneapolis, Minnesota, the home and studios of famed musician Prince, is a well-orchestrated event for casual and rabid fans alike. Nothing compares 2 him. On @perceptivetravel.bsky.social perceptivetravel.com/blog/2025/04... #TravelTuesday #travel #music

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

What's remarkable is not just that Trump is so loathsome and narcissistic that he doesn't care when an innocent woman is killed in a protest unless and until he finds out that her dad was a fan of his ... it's that he's so disregulated he *can't help but say so out loud*.

One of the big media failures of the past decade is the ongoing search for the deeper side of Trump. There isn't one. His ideology, such as it is, is personalist, transactional, and zero-sum. That's as vain, vulgar, and wrong as you can get. He likes gold shit and applause. There's nothing beneath.

Today is a particularly good day to have a diversified, well-balanced financial portfolio, a cash cushion, and to avoid panic.

I kinda like watching this college football 🏈 championship game in which I "don't have a dog in the fight" but can appreciate all the backstories about Indiana and Miami. Maybe next year, Texas! #HookEm 🤘

Beyond the fact that this bugfuck insane letter was written and sent to the leader of Norway, the State Dept agreeing to distribute it to other heads of state instead of objecting and honorably resigning or at the very least planning some kind of coverup is a sign of deep institutional collapse.

Nice work, all those creeps who waved "Mass Deportation" signs during the 2024 Republican National Convention. 🙄

In my latest Substack, I explain why every video of what ICE is doing in Minnesota (or anywhere) is a powerful form of resistance open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

I have three different independent blogs that I can post on if I want to sound off about anything, including whatever stupid shit the Mango Mussolini is popping off about. Do not be intimidated. We have powerful tools.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

should I post the full 8 minute video of a bunch of commuters, observers, and one insane e-biker running an ice convoy clear out of uptown, or is that excessive

Yet another WTAF?

This is the right course of action - and also: Holy shit! Every now and then, you have to stop and "appreciate" how utterly stupid and bizarre this moment is that we are forced to suffer through...

I very much agree with this. This isn’t careful planning. It’s not 3-D chess. It’s a bunch of really bad people trying to quickly do the really bad things they dream about because nobody ever hugged them or told them they were acting like a jackass.

Setting aside the human cost of hundreds of thousands of families divided and the billions of dollars in economic disruption this will cause, how exactly is the US meant to be host the World Cup and Olympics when a third of the world legally cannot visit here? www.newsweek.com/map-countrie...
