@markovschainsaw @cullenroche I’m going to say I had heat stroke from the humidity.

@markovschainsaw @cullenroche Cash on the sidelines is a myth. Everytime someone invests their sideline cash, someone else is moving the same amount of cash to their sideline.

@PaulH1 @cullenroche Or the broken societies they live in.

@ConorMac406 @Mark_Hobin Yeah, I had to dodge half a dozen deer on the way to see this movie, and none of them looked like that.

@Deathlok38 @DavidPoland Did the nun have a cell phone? Isn’t she talking on a landline just outside the chapel?

this is the most perfect “Seinfeld” callback joke in the history of “Seinfeld” callback jokes

@Inter3stin9 @frankmikesmith No, that’s his point, these aren’t big guys, they are wide receivers and the smaller, faster, more mobile quarterbacks. Receivers have great foot and body control to catch sideline passes, implying the ability to develop the footwork needed for soccer

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.

@davidclowery @meganslankard Seeing you in Wayne tomorrow. I’ll be the middle aged bald guy with a beard and baseball hat and cargo shorts.

@Merridew__ Casual “wedding ring “ drop. Hasn’t it been, like, a day? 😜 congratulations!

@cgbthree @MattBrownEP The biggest is that they don’t see the Trinity as a unified God, but rather three distinct entities. Second, they don’t believe in original sin, but that grace is attained through works. Protestant Christians, at least, believe faith alone can bring grace.

It’s deeply odd to me that America is a far less 24/7 hour society today than it was 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. I vividly remember friends from the UK back in 1996 marveling at the fact that in the mid-sized Indiana town where I went college it was possible to buy groceries, clothing, a lawn mower, a snow blower, Lego sets, and bow hunting gear at 3 AM on any given Tuesday of the year. That was peak American Empire, and it’s long gone.
