Every time, lol. At least now I have an excuse to put off doing vacation laundry a bit longer.

Trans folks don’t barge into women’s spaces to assault people. You’re thinking of Trump.

I've never had prison food, but I can't imagine it's any worse than the in-flight meal on American Airlines from Montevideo to Miami. Worst airline meal I've ever had. No redeeming qualities. 1/2

Yup.

Happy Pi Day! Celebrate this delicious and mathematical day with our podcasts and articles about the tasty transcendental number. buff.ly/5346CPj

Sacramento, where we live, calls itself the City of Trees, and for good reason - there are a lot of trees. But I'm 100% convinced Montevideo has more. At least in terms of canopy. Darn near every street, from downtown to the suburbs, is canopied. Took these photos from the top of city hall.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

If you've never been to Casapueblo, or never heard of Carlos Páez Vilaró, look them up. Spectacular.

Definitely don’t share these bad photos of Pete Hegseth.

We got to experience this firsthand, and it was awesome. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

This seems important.

CNN will just keep getting worse.

Amazing

International Women's Day March in Montevideo, Uruguay. Estimates are around 300,000 people. We couldn't find the beginning and we walked and walked and walked. Went on forever.

It's amazing when a country that has a constitutionally protected right to assemble/protest actually honors that right. We just marched with about 2k people from the Presidential Palace to Plaza Libertad (about 8 blocks), shutting down a main street the entire way, and no police in sight. Anywhere.

The Netanyahu regime can go f*ck itself. He and his U.S. puppet.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

Well said.

After seeing one too many posts about it, I finally broke down and watched the McDonald's CEO rolling out new product. It's a real "hello fellow burgerers" moment. He's definitely producted before.

Saudis and Britts joining the fray. Iraq targeting US soldiers. Iran declaring the whole world will pay. WWIII is pretty much upon us. More will join. Many will die. All because the woman running against the petulant man-child wasn't a perfect candidate.

Arrest them all. Every last one of them.

Every Monday in Montevideo they have the rueda de candombe (candombe wheel), a UNESCO recognized cultural phenomenon that incorporates drums (and other instruments) and dance. It was packed with people having a great time. There are popup bars and food vendors as well. Every. Monday.

Nobody in the world is illegal.

So far, Trump has given the following reasons for invading Iran: * They were responsible for stealing the 2020 election * They were responsible for both assassination attempts What's next, they shot J.R. Ewing?

Hell of a chart, this, from @financialtimes.com. Spot the JCPOA. on.ft.com/4kSuQYO

Would it be nice if this sentiment was universal?

When checking in to the Amex lounge, the women at the counter told us they have "special brownies" today. The brownie was tasty, I'll give it that, but it wasn't "special". 😝

A free comic library and a mini art installation from our evening walk. The comic library had about 20 comics, which were a mix of small Indie comics and some bigger stuff from Dark Horse. Those 3 orange things at the bottom of the art installation are bowling balls. Not pictured: the puzzle library

In case you missed it, Kash Patel took a government funded jet to the Olympics and drank beer with the men's hockey team in the locker room after their win, despite his media rep assuring us he's not at the Olympics.

"When paired with AML reporting, such suspicious analysis can quickly lead to the unjust termination of bank accounts." So, a highly flawed system known for making mistakes can land you on a government watchlist and potentially have your bank accounts terminated. www.therage.co/persona-age-...

Despite the TSA shutdown, SLC airport was still operating TSA Pre-Check today. We got here extra early, anticipating long lines, and it was no problem.

We had some time before our flight, so went to the Loveland Aquarium in SLC. As we got close, I saw this huge claw thing, and immediately said: "that looks like the claw from U2's 360 tour" (which I saw in Oakland). Turns out I was right!

Social biases help misinformation spread, but the problem deepens when political leaders break democratic norms and social media platforms are designed to amplify extreme content. www.science.org/doi/full/10....

I didn't really need yet another reason to say f*ck the Lakers, but here we are: f*ck the Lakers.

We went to a showing of The Princess Bride at the Crest Theater tonight. Sold out show, people dressed up, and the entire theater quoting damn near the entire thing. Almost felt like Rocky Horror back in the day (but not quite). Fantastic time.

Concentration camps. They're building concentration camps. The capacity they're building is far greater than the number of "illegal" immigrants. The remaining capacity is for us. Those that oppose the regime. Childless women. Legal immigrants. Whoever they want...

As long as there's subjective scoring, issues like this will persist. (Note: Chock and Bates are not complaining about the scoring - others are.) That said, there are some very eyebrow raising things to note about the scoring: 1 of 4 www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

Good reminder to keep fighting the good fight.

That time I visited Cortina in 2019. The ski jump was from the 1956 Olympics, which was the last time they hosted.

We saw Marty Supreme this afternoon. It was good, but not really what I wanted or needed right now. It was one stressful situation after another, and I have more than enough stress right now from the state of the world around us.

Jajajajajajaja!

Here's another MAGA (some might say head MAGA) that didn't tune in to the Kid Rock 2-song lip synch fest. When you've lost both DJT and Kevin Sorbo? Sad.
