Fascinating insights from Maureen Dowd, which, along with Thomas Friedman, should be required reading. First time I've come across the expression, "unquenchable maw."

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

So I used to not agree with Bill Maher on most topics. More recently, I find myself finding more similarities than I thought possible. Specifically, I’m thinking about the following about the L.A. fires.

If you use Waze, don’t give up the navigation voice of your choosing easily. Once I deselected the Scottish navigator, it disappeared from the menu entirely. A sad day to be sure.

I’m probably not alone in having this issue. There are multiple accounts advertising themselves as single masseuses in need of a suitor. One in particular has about 6 variations of spelling but the same photo. So blocking is modestly helpful. Is there a way to address this more broadly?

My wife curiously bought a couple of kilos of gnocchi (we are 3) and they have a short shelf life. Any ideas about what to do with them? I guess I could fashion them into a fleet of miniature armadillos, or trick the family into thinking there’s a large number of larvae in the fridge.

Without much fanfare, a movie called “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” was recently released. It tells the (only recently) known story of a group of European WWII soldiers prone to disorder, who upended critical German operations. “The Danish Hammer” was a central figure. I can only aspire.

When a dictatorship falls, there is always the delicate question of how much accountability for those involved: if you go too far down the hierarchy to punish them, you end up with unmanageable numbers of people to prosecute. If you don't go down far enough, you accept widespread impunity.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights has released a list of names of 16,200 individuals who perpetrated crimes against humanity and war crimes and calls for them to be held accountable.

Twice in the past 24 hours someone has mentioned being “chuffed” about something. I wish it was woven into American English. Such a great word.
