It’s very hard to square anyone claiming sincerely this is not what I voted for when there were 1000s of images of 1000s of people holding “Mass Deportation Now!” signs at the Republican National Convention

And that's what my experience with hunger brought home to me, in a way I've never forgotten: if you're hungry, it's so so much harder to think, to plan, to save, simply to exercise self-control & self-discipline. It weakens all those systems. It makes everything harder -- *everything*.

One of the things I think (some) people have come to appreciate in recent years is just how much the circumstances of being poor -- hunger, exhaustion, anxiety, uncertainty -- *in & of themselves* make it immeasurably more difficult to do the things required to escape poverty.

Milan Winter Olympics kicked off on a stage shaped like a giant centrifugal pump, the primary pump type used for pressurizing water systems today. The centrifugal pump was invented by Italian engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini in 1475.

Very glad the sports guy told me that that was a model of the solar system otherwise I might not have known that that very particular, unique thing that looks like nothing other than a representation of the solar system was a model of the solar system

Well of course NBC has blocked the delightful video of Italian comedian Brenda Lodigiani doing a universal visual guide to Italian hand gestures.

And the food of the dark, swarthy, garlic-worshipping Catholics shall never touch my newly filler-enhanced lips, for I am America’s specialest white boy
Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD.
To *Italy*.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy, by Nathan Thrall is very good and highlights the draconian geographical limitations placed on Palestinians under occupation, and how they are *literally* fatal.
