If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

I rarely go to Twitter and when I do I make sure to keep it quick.
Part of the reason is that the place is an open sewer and I don’t miss the stench at all.
But another part is that I invariably see someone I know who’s still posting there and just lose a lot of respect for them.
