Writer, wit, and bon vivant; scholar manqué; or laconic recluse. Depends on my mood and whom you ask.

Based in Istanbul. Before that Russia, Philly, Hawaii, and more.

History, political economy, food
Buff 'n Blue, Boola Boola
As an erstwhile Philadelphian who still keeps an eye on Pennsylvania politics from my perch abroad, I have to say I'm pretty burnt out on this playbook. That was John Fetterman's whole schtick, and he's been a disaster. Will they never learn?

Dunno about the name, but I've got your theme song:
"Goin' home late last night / Suddenly, I got a bite / Yeah, I looked through a window and, yum, what I saw / A mustachioed man slicing lamb halal"

Grimes has been traded from team to team like a hot potato these past few years, despite having the profile and production of a versatile and coveted role player. There have been intimations here and there that he keeps wearing out his welcome, but no solid reporting as to why. What's the deal?

Is there even one such person?

Is it just me, or is Gabbard really leaning into the Marvel spy boss lady look? Next thing you know she's gonna start talking about Skrulls.
