New game- six degrees of Wikipedia separation. We take two concepts and see how we can link their Wikipedia pages.
“Paris” and “France” is easy because a link to France appears in the first sentence of the Paris article.
How would you link “Paris” to “Beach Ball”?

Somebody waved a Greenlandic flag 🇬🇱 at a bar I was at and everybody cheered (including myself). Imagine waving an Iraqi flag in a bar 24 years ago or a Vietnamese flag 50 years ago (and these were unpopular wars). Sign of the times…..

Say what you want about the guys that beat Rodney King, they didn’t shoot him. Today’s murder in Minnesota started out as a Rodney King style beating and ended in murder. All so some ICE thug could get his bounty.

To paraphrase Golda Meir, America will only return to normalcy when MAGA can love their neighbors more than MAGA hates wealthy people having to pay higher taxes.

One of the tragic consequences of ICE’s fascism and incompetence is real bad guys like terrorists, human traffickers, and gang members can now waltz right in and set up shop. Nobody will report suspicious individuals and ICE won’t notice anyway because it’s to busy harassing soccer moms.

I walked through a couple parking lots today. Using MAGA logic I could have shot at least 5 people today and it would be wholly justified.

Dear kids,
You are not normally supposed to say “fuck” and it is not a word that polite and respectable people like mayors of major cities use. The Minneapolis Mayor telling ICE to get the fuck out was the most appropriate and decorous use of the word fuck in the history of the English language.

Gas prices will go up (not down) as result of this Venezuela nonsense. Assholes with lifted trucks will claim to victimized somehow as if this is the very first time in history any sort of hiccup in or near an oil producing country could cause gas prices to rise.

What if one or more of Epstein’s victims have citizenship in a country other than the US? Can a country like Britain or Canada arrest Trump for conspiracy to commit various sex offenses? As of January 1, the answer was emphatically *NO*. Be careful about setting new precedent.

Mark my words- you’ve heard if anti-vaxers and raw milk drinkers. The new trend will be the anti-sewer movement. Our Paleolithic ancestors didn’t have sewers. People in places like rural India don’t use toilets and are not obese. Seed oils cause cholera, not bacteria. #antisewer

Guavas are a highly underrated fruit. How and why I can get a pineapple or banana in any supermarket on any day of the year, but must look hard for guavas is beyond me.

I grew up on a suburb and sometimes played football or rode bikes in the roads near my home. Inner city kids played basketball in the parks and schoolyards near their homes. Only one of us was playing “in the streets.”

Our current property rights regime does not maximize social and economic utility. If you want the people to honor your wealth and the property that makes up your wealth, you need to honor and respect people’s lives. One Man’s wealth cannot trump 200 children’s wealth.

I love the Dodgers just as much as any other Angelina, but regardless of who wins tomorrow, the Blue Jays were the better team. The Blue Jays had two decisive wins while the Dodgers barely scrape by. #worldseries #dodgers #bluejays
