No strange capitalisation and more logical construction than he uses. His opinion through a filter of normal emotion.

I was in Manhattan Hotel March 12 '20. Epicenter New Rochelle then everywhere. Hotel was empty. Elevator came to my floor and went to lobby, up and down. Gave me top floor corner room. I knew then that It was bad because everyone had cancelled but me. Maid had tray of chemicals. Made it out in time.
Pornography is terrible here. It is the law to wear a seat belt.
Aunt B's home made pickled cucumbers taste like kerosene. Andy Griffith show episode. She thought they were great. Fair judges, not so much.
I tried to sell a Fiat in the late '70's. My ad read"Made in Italy by Communists". (true) Newspaper classified editor refused to run it.

NC Supreme? (2024-25: one election)
I welcome his enmity
More or less universally a country seeking to limit foreigners studying in that country is a sign of a society, culture, great power in severe decline.
The president HAS the input on this decisions because the elected presidents CHOSE the Fed board.
In 2016 while still working on his routine he said aloud that he used "drain the swamp" spontaneously and it received a response so he has said it for ten years.
He knows his voter demographic: 55+ and angry because facebook says so. Also the visibility for Cracker factory, er, barrel is more than they could have bought for millions of $$
Works for me. My French hurts their ears.
Oh, to be the home insurance agent for that family.
Goy here. I do this when I say the name "Nixon".
factory, Yes
Roy Cooper gonna sweep NC and go to Washington next year.Calling it now. A man who won NC statewide with LESS than 50% of the votes, against an incumbent governor and trailing Trump, will have no trouble amassing more than 50% next year.

Good venue for baseball.

A politician and his party who don't accept they can legitimately lose elections have no basis to insist they can legitimately win elections.
I like the Mr Rogers voice and music
Fun is the mark of a successful campaign. Not always winning but successful.
4-h'ers there?

Indianapolis born here. Indiana State fair in my adolescence had the state dairy assn barn with all you can drink milk 5¢. Cheese sandwiches 10 cents and milkshakes (? cents). To my boon companions of that age, Nirvana. Competitive eating. Food: man's first drug
Watch this video. Now.
And you could not work this into your story!!! (The others were gooder, I guess) Clip on bow tie is perfect on the outfit and hits right.

"tea and vinegar". Not the phrase I have used and seen. Understood, nonetheless.
Jeremy: In this case, and others, who owns the land under the water. Property owner now has ocean on much/all of his land but the land is still there but under water. Fishing/seafood rights? Structure built on piers? Continue to be taxed on what ocean covered? What if ocean recedes?
Pure Federal style. Early 1800's to 1850.
Social media is Nigerian Prince all the way down. Prince was the scourge of email. Now the "trusted" media sites code for believers. Same damn thing.
L.A. 1971. Beautiful cabinet with doors and B&W tv inside. No signal. Look inside with friend who was Viet Nam Helicopter mechanic (?) A wire connected one end, other loose. tv plugged to power at the time(!) Maybe it goes here. (Insert wire) He and I knocked backwards by capacitor/Household power.
I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.
Do come up again if you can.
I have not climbed a rope since...Carter admin?
I now realize I must counter by "Those tv and internet channels are for suckers. That is why they are there" I do not call the person a sucker. They need to hear the truth. I am never going to be their friend. No loss.
Dan Neil, WSJ auto reviewer, Pulitzer winner for criticism wrote a column once where he said his mother in law bought some Toyota without consulting him. "I'm kind of a big deal" he quoted himself. They were both right in my opinion.
"And give up show business?!" Old joke
Business: always pivoting to newer, younger users. Renewing with the next generation. Forming relationships when it is possible. Change or die. Politics: History is guide. 40 years of service before leadership acknowledged. Hold the base. "Where my youngies?"
Cards? What cards?
Where are my cards? I know I had them. Anyone seen my cards?

PK team has no chasers/tacklers. Big and slow. Put a chaser on the end and watch him surrender a block kick. Ultra specialization, for the loss. Special team coach needs training.
Their votes are malleable. Mine was at that age.
John Kruk, not the smartest student. Charleston WVA. Played in MiLB at mid-continent teams/leagues. Fist year in San Diego flight east and said he had never seen Ocean. Players pointed out Lake Michigan as ocean. "Its bigger than I thought it would be."
Read this as “a shitting Republican senator” and it made more sense
GREAT read.
During Covid, this was true. Since Covid, even more true. It’s a reflexive selfishness, a rejection of the social compact, of shared community and purpose, of citizenry, and often of reality.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.
When I was a boy ~1960 there were night game footballs. White with dark stripes. I had one. Likely a youth size football. I cannot say if it was used in the NFL at that period. I doubt NFL had night games then. Likely HS/college. It was signed Eddie LeBaron. You can look him up.
It's crazy how many "gang members" have been providing our food and building our homes and whatnot.
mostly idiot, barely useful
The rare yet everlasting triple negative.
You mean Fly Cemetery?
He did not win the popular vote

I recently finished "Proto" by Laura Spinney and she mentions the differences you note. People gonna migrate was my take-away.

The glory of capitalism is that the rich and the poor alike may sleep under bridges if they desire.

Lucky dog. You and your dog want no part of a cornered bobcat.
We have to get comfortable telling people they’ve been acting like suckers and the things they believe are cultivated for suckers. Radical honesty.

J-A Bombardier invented the snowmobile. He called it the ski-dog because the idea was that it was a motorised dogsled. Patent application was typed and the lower loop of the g failed to print. His application for a ski-doo was accepted. "No" he said "it is a ski dog." Not now it isn't.
AI will never locate a new archive. It will never uncover a new source. It will never find a small, privately held collection of papers that can upend what we think we know about the past. It can never work with undigitized sources. It can never do real oral history or ethnography.
George Bernard Shaw wrote an article this week in 1914 urging both sides to shoot their officers and go home.
then wandering as no money for entertainment. Sunday same for double header then to station for train then drive home. KICKER: Four boys ate 32 hotdogs that weekend.
Favorite story from friend dob 1946 in rural Eastern NC. At age 17 he and friends schemed to go to NYC for baseball weekend. Drove to Fayetteville NC for night train Friday-Sat AM dropped bags at hotel and straight to stadium. Batting practice, fungo, everything. Post game to hotel...
Pre expansion, until the late 50's at least, Monday was a near universal off day. Teams traveled by train and played many more day games and Sunday double headers thus late getaway and Monday arrival meant no day game possible. Played teams for a week straight, then moved on.
In high school Algebra I noticed the difference of successive squares. Hey! I discovered a mathematic category! (I did not. it was the most common factor that *everyone* noticed on their own or was taught to them. It was not mentioned in the textbook, thus I "discovered" it. )
As a Medieval Archaeologist, I do not approve of this message. The Middle Ages were smarter than modern day Utah.
When I was 12-13 I met a boy whose name was Sean. He said it is pronounced Shawn. I said "No it is not. That is Seen" (Few catholics in my neighborhood)

Be not Darius and the Persians. Be the Scythians. Engage not, melt away. Leave no trace for the enemy to devour. (yes, I been reading history)
I regret some things my parents did and said as a child. They made the right big decisions: Where we live, where I go to school, church (for a while), their couple example, fear of debt, adults as distinct from children and others. I made my mistakes, not due to them.
it’s me, a guy whose livelihood depends on a transparent and rule-driven political and economic order, supporting the white idi amin whose main promise is that he’ll rob me blind in exchange for letting me participate int he economy
Wayne Gretzky when asked when he will be a hockey coach and teach others how to do what he did: "I do not know how I did what I did. No way to teach others."
Woke this morning from one of the common low anxiety dreams about being in an unfamiliar place and know no one and unfamiliar language and cannot find my way. Disoriented. Immediately after wakefulness I wonder when I will have my phone in these dreams? Simple answer to those anxieties.
