What the fuck has happened to this country?
I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

How is that "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" is not available on any streaming service that I can find? Can't even buy/rent it on Apple TV.

One of my major food groups.
Wirecutter’s journalists blind-tasted more than 70 kinds of plain salted potato chips — kettle-fried, classic thin-and-crispy, and rippled and ridged — to find the best. The results were genuinely surprising.
The Best Potato Chips
We tasted 71 different potato chips and chose the very best plain, kettle-style, and rippled chips for crunching, lunching, snacking, and dipping.

Don’t usually do #caturday posts, but here’s one relaxed Croatian cat basking in the sun at the entrance to the old town of Dubrovnik a couple weeks ago.

“The violence of the Left is symbolic, the injuries are not intended. The violence of the Right is real—directed at people, designed to cause injuries…The violence from the Right is aimed directly at people and the violence from the Left is aimed at institutions and symbols.”

In the global electrification race China is marching ahead.

The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

Feeling like the new Amex Platinum fee of $850 is too painful, even with perks like discounts on things I don't buy, like Lululemon. Seriously considering dropping it for Fidelity's new(ish) Signature Visa. No fee and 2% cash back.
