Naming the site of a most embarrassing military quagmire after himself? I think we can let him have this one.

I remember when the new BART fleet came in the noise reduction felt revelatory. Riding to SFO now it feels like the track is howling just the way it used to. Is it in my head or did that actually regress? Did we just get used to it being quieter but it’s actually still always been bad?

The FIFA Peace Prize thing has my reactions torn between how objectively hilarious and pathetic it is, and deep-seated shame because… well just because I like football.
Did someone tell him that there’s treasure buried under the White House or something? He’s going to emerge from the rubble filled hole in the ground clutching “actually the real constitution” declaring “see says right here: one king.”
They …bombed JD Vance? You never go full VEEP, guys. Did they remember to write “antifa is good” on the shell at least?
