“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” —Mark Twain, "Innocents Abroad," 1869
Netflix still doesn't get it. Pluribus is pulling numbers because it's a weekly release. While the marketing for Stranger Things has been over the top, would have been free to release weekly and let the internet talk about it for you. 1/x

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’
Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

So Only Murders in the Building has been a breath of fresh air these last few seasons but this season was by far the weakest. It didn't flow as well, none of the jokes landed, and the guest stars felt wasted. Still entertaining, but didn't live up to past. Still excited and ready for S6! #omitb

Dinner at #Michelin 2-star restaurant Silvio Nickol, #Vienna. What an amazing experience. 9 courses of just delicious, beautiful, perfectly executed dishes. Being alcohol free, the mixologist made us drinks on themes we requested. The standout dish for me had to be the "carbonara" deconstructed.

Last day in #Austria before heading home! After our wonderful dinner last night at Silvio Nickol, we just did a whirlwind tour of Viennese architecture. Saw the St Stephen's Cathedral and the Hofburg. Had a snack in the Kunsthistorisches Museum and then finished off the day with one last #donerkebab

Another day of exploring #Austria and the Salzkammergut. Today was visiting Hallstatt which is like something pulled out of a fairy tale. Beautiful architecture nestled on a beautiful lake. Ended the day with dinner at St Peters Stiftkulinarium. Yum!

#LPT and #TravelTip: pack bandaids. In addition to being an essential part of your first aid kit, it can also cover up annoying LEDs on electronics. Like the mini split a/c unit in your room.

Another beautiful day in #Austria, exploring the Salzkammergut. This beautiful collection of towns sits amid the mountains and lakes on the edge of the Alps. Beautiful day to drive and found one really fun road. Traunsee, Attersee, and Mondsee today. Most of the rest tomorrow!

Another day another city. #Innsbruck! Quick trip on our way to Salzburg. I didn't realize how this town was set in a valley with mountains on all sides. Perfect weather to see it all today too! Check the (almost) 360º view from the Cafe 360º.

First and only real "tourist" day. Day trip to visit the Linderhof Palace and Neuschwanstein Castle! Long day but some crazy and beautiful architecture.

For dinner we got one of the best traditional Bavarian dinners in #Munich at Xaver's. Great schnitzel, the first of many on this trip. Prost!
Oh! And desert was divine! So simple but so good.

Why is it called the Department of War and not the Department of Ultimate War-Man Warring? Are we losing our edge? Can we get truck nuts on the tanks, perhaps?

Houston, we have a problem. Your chair situation in #IAH C terminal is atrocious. No one really likes the standard benches, but somehow you found a way to make it worse. The "café" seating every where that fits only 1/5 of the people that need seats. The chairs that are bolted down. Ugh.

#Food diary day 1: flew from SJO to BNA. When I landed I ordered online and went straight to Five Points #Pizza in #Nashville. Been missing good NY pizza and this was the real deal! 18" gives me leftovers for the week!

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials.
My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!
