    Don't make politics your religion; your gods will always be overthrown.

    Just remember: Not a single European, much less any Italian, had eaten a tomato until the 16th century.

    Truth Social has crashed from the traffic surge and in so doing accidentally created a hauntingly poignant image.

    I have been moving, and I found my old Far Side books underneath the bed. If you are my age or thereabouts, nearly 25% are instantly memorable, nay legendary. It's the greatest single-panel strip of all time. But I think this might be the best of all, and if I'm wrong prove it.

    PEARL HARBOR is a terrible film in every conceivable way, but the funniest thing of all about it is when people saw this scene and threw their hands up with how "Hollywood bullshit" it was. Oooh, the untrained black mess hall dude suddenly grabs an anti-aircraft gun and shoots

    My other favorite fun ethnic cuisine fact is that vodka isn't Russian in origin, or even Slavic. It was introduced into Russia only in the 15th/16th century by Italian merchants then resident in Moscow, under the term "aqua vitae."

    One of the least-appreciated aspects of Beto O'Rourke's overperformance/Cruz's underperformance in TX-SEN last night: the entire GOP bench of judges was wiped off the map wholesale in Dallas and Houston. The legal topography of the state just changed overnight.

    Was it REALLY a "professional" hit? I dunno. I will say that if you can calmly shoot a guy in the back (who never saw it coming) in Midtown Manhattan without being made and remain at large in a city with cameras everywhere, you might have some idea of what you're doing.

    It's really quite insane that Herodotus spends a paragraph randomly dropping the names of the wealthiest prostitutes from some Greek colony in Egypt, and then *archaeology later turned up proof of their existence and wealth*.
