@Sulkhan Brilliant Russian writers, ballet, opera, humor - there is a lot to admire in the historical culture

@jackjcollins Canada’s keeper Maxime Crepeau suffered a broken leg while playing for LAFC in the MLS final game in 2022 so at least Kone has a teammate to help guide his recovery.

@JoyceCarolOates Great subject for debate. I think Hawthorne on the strength of The Scarlet Letter.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Did you know the Rolling Stones recorded a Rice Krispies jingle in 1964?

Just found out today... 😜

@MrSammyJames I’m really talking about myself. It’s a worrying situation but I’m trying to stay on the sunny side of the street.

[Tony DeToro @anthonyd3]

@TheOwsletic @BenJacobs Yeah, right.

@OSmithFFC @Scrumpydave66 Still doesn’t excuse his behavior about his contract. It’s selfish, irresponsible and unprofessional.
