I heard you mention your wife is French but before you met was Hemingway ever your guide to Paris as he is for so many of us?

Playing Tennis??? Woah. I didn’t know you could play!

Jardin de Luxembourg is my favorite park in the world but I don’t feel Bois de Boulogne can hold a candle to Central Park.

I will miss Tierny. So many promising players in the post Wenger era (Torreira Tierny Smith-Rowe Ramsdale) didn’t quite pan out and were placed by players Arteta preferred. Smith-Rowe would be particularly handy.

Wise decision although MSNBC is the best of a bad lot. I deleted NYT and BBC from phone and now go with the fabulous AP app and the surprisingly good Wall Street Journal app. Just don't read the op-eds.

I believe you but I think Simone was one of the most supportive of Biden along with Bernie, Ocasio Cortez, Fetterman, and Professor Lichtman.

I didn’t see that. But after Election Simone did reflect on Morning Joe that it was a mistake for the democratic party to turn on their sitting President a few months before the election. Scarborough rudely brought her up short bellowing He wasn’t a solution. I never watched him again.

Besides Blue Sky I took your rec to go to Sal and Carmine’s! See I know your mom raised a smart dude Rich. Glad you know about Nick Land’s Accelerationism and Yarvin and the prophetic Pogue Vanity Fair article but I fear most don’t. I never took that crap seriously until Vance in the Oval Office.

Also I should add your greatest strength is your voice on politics which I’ve always urged you to sing out even more. Love that Canada got that win but as heinous and disrespectful as Trump’s 51st State comments are the incredible Vance manipulation of Trump before our eyes is the biggest story.

I’m on Blue Sky because of your lead my man. No heat from my end except toward Vance. I watched the 49 min C-Span version which was surprisingly polite until as Trump wrapped Vance interjected and instigated hostility. Vance’s sabotage and manipulation of Trump has to be the biggest story right now.

You’re distracted by the all the crap Trump talks. The real threat is what we saw in the Oval Office on Friday: JD Vance manipulating Trump toward Accelerationism. Learn about it. Cover it.

Richard you have to cover the Peter Thiel Curtis Yarvin Nick Land philosophy of Accelerationism which basically espouses running the American political system into the ground to make way for a monarchist like strong man. Vance thinks he can manipulate Trump into doing Thiel’s and Yarvin’s bidding.
