How fancy (downtown Tiburon bungalow?) vs relaxed/chill (Sol food? Go for a hike at lake Lagunitas then downtown Fairfax?) … give more parameters and will narrow it down.
A picnic on tam with views of west Marin or the bay is always pretty nice too

The acceleration on multiple fronts in a short period, all as Epstein docs were getting hot, feels like we’re heading to some kind of boiling point within the next 30-60 days.

The closest I can relate is that I’m not always sure what a colleagues work product is based on: did they think this through and believe in the idea or did they just slap some output from the AI together without deeper consideration?

That is very true.
But a "Phish Jam" (let's not get into types :) ) is also something really different than a "Jerry-led guitar solo jam"
I now think of '69 Dark Stars more akin to Bitches Brew than to Phish.

That’s a pretty narrow read of the Dead. Take the 72-74 era, every show usually has 2-3 “exploration” vehicles, but there are repeated launching off points (dark star, other one, WRS, Truckin, bird song, china rider, eyes later on, etc).
And sometimes a 11/17/73 kinda day.

Got BG3 on PS5 and couldn't get into because of controls.
Gonna pick it up on PC after I finish DOS2 -- hoping there'll even be same Switch 2 / iPad save game system releases out by then.

Can I ask, what if anything wouldn't fall under your "it is ideological and thus can lead to its own purity spirals" analysis?
The position I described is one where it demands most issues to be analyzed and decided on a market vs. govt answer - by definition it doesn't prescribe one defacto.

It's already bad faith to say the politics are 'because it's to stay palatable conservatives' -- there's a legitimate politics that believes in well regulated markets and also recognizes some solutions are better provided outside of the government, while others require it.

Not sure why “Yes, Maduro was very bad. Maduro being bad isn’t the point - the point is that the United States is a force for good and upholding the law so that the entire world is safer. Breaking legal norms makes us all less safe, including Americans traveling abroad.” felt so hard.

Do you really think it’s about that for Rubio? My sense was this is very much about the present for him: Cuba. Cutting off oil in Venezuela is just the pre requisite.
