@Matt_Moore07 : ugh, what’s it called when you spend too much time around someone? Like a syndrome?
Me:...Stockholm Syndrome??
“spend too much time around someone” 😭
Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae…
Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?
The amount of grief nations like Iran are carrying while being told to just “play football” under awful conditions on US soil, after everything that country has done to their people, is obscene.
Brad Silberling (who directed Casper and Lemony Snicket) once told me that this is why test screenings for family films are basically impossible.
Your audience is kids but the actual ticket-buyers are suburban moms who think 95% of the stuff kids actually enjoy is inappropriate.
I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.
A great part of travel (especially international travel—but any travel, really) is taking a day here and there to do whatever is big with the locals, maybe outside of your own typical realms of interest.
I’d bet a lot of these Scots don’t know much about baseball, but there they are in one of our most storied ballparks, having a blast.

There was a time when this would have triggered a massive purge in an administration - now counter-intelligence just looks at Mossad agents like this
Europeans arriving for the World Cup:
“The food is actually really good.”
“Wait, they really do free refills?”
“The stadiums are insane.”
“Ok the weather is no joke.”
“Air conditioning isn’t optional here.”
“The roads are complete chaos.”
“Why is this gas station bigger than my airport?”
“Everyone is way friendlier than I expected.”
The 2026 World Cup may go down as the largest American propaganda campaign ever conducted.
And we’re not even trying.
“American stadiums are horrible, they shouldn’t host”
“Ok the stadiums are nice but they won’t fill”
“The stadiums filled but the games will suck”
“The games are exciting but American cities are terrible”
“American cities are only fun because they’re rich”
People don't seem to understand American abundance. This is the specialty cheese section, which is completely separate from the rest of the dairy aisle where you'd get things like string cheese and regular cheap block cheddar.
We have everything, and in ridiculous quantities.
