I knew I love Fernando Botero because he created a whole alternate world in the most intricate possible way. But I’m just now realizing I love him more bc Pablo Escobar doesn’t get to live in that world: he only gets to die in it.

The reason people don’t like tourists is mostly because tourists are straight up having a better time than locals almost always. Be happy you’re on the winning end of that!

Jeep should be making a better one of these instead of a $65,000+ electric Wrangler
Owners of the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness say it's fun to drive and has great fuel mileage, but they don't like its laggy touchscreen and lack of comfort.

Shameful it’s only 23 this was just naked corruption.
Twenty-three congressional Democrats — including two fellow members from Illinois — joined with Republicans on Tuesday in favor of a resolution admonishing U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García for using old-school tactics to clear the way for his own successor.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

You can play baseball all year long and many players do and the only reason MLB ends is because it’s too damn cold to sell tickets.
early WBC discourse is about whether ohtani and yamamoto should sit it out so they can be rested for the regular season. to which i say: it's insane on a superteam like the dodgers to skip an event like the olympics or world baseball classic so you can be fresh for april baseball

SHIP OF THESEUS TOUR.
This is kind of wild. Despite previously mounting farewell tours, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner will play the new Shakopee amphitheater in August.
Thing is, neither (cover) band has *any* original members left. LS still has Ronnie's little brother up front, but Foreigner's lead singer is new.

So @50501movement.bsky.social is circulating a video of a guy saying candidates "are being paid to be Israel first, to be loyal to the Zionist project and not to their constituents, not to the American people." Which is just a hairs breadth away from saying "Zionist Occupied Government." Not great!

Remember when Harvey Weinstein suddenly became frail and infirm in a desperate attempt to gain sympathy?
I wonder when Trump and MAGA make the pivot from "healthiest President to ever live" to "shame on you for harassing this frail senior citizen! Dems hate the elderly!!!"
I give it a week.

I doubt this is our first CBP suicide, and it certainly won't be the last. It's sad when anyone dies, and I guess my advice would be don't do a job that puts your soul at hazard.

There’s this one building in New Orleans with a great location, sweet amenities, and cheap prices. The condos aren’t large enough to be a forever home but they are large enough to live in for a while and then keep as a second home. It’s tempting to think about.

Wait are we indivisible or are we doing intra-party feuds? Which is it?
We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.
We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.
