Or maybe awesome seat to a SF Giants game. Kushners own a part of that creepy franchise, also.

![A screenshot of a Facebook post by "Terrible Maps" showing a map of the United States. The map uses a red heat map gradient to display cardiac-related death rates and overlays yellow dots representing Waffle House locations. The cluster of yellow dots heavily overlaps the bright red areas in the Southeastern US.

Timeless humour! A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to: “I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂 Dated circa 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was recovered in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 Juan Jose Fuldain/MOLA #Archaeology
![The photo by Juan Jose Fuldain for MOLA shows four images of the same Roman iron stylus (pen) one below the other, with knib to the left. The stylus is octagonal in shape, with a dot-punched inscription along its length on four alternate sides. The stylus is 132 mm long and 5 mm thick, and the letters are circa 2 mm high. The four images of the pen show the four lines of inscribed text (highlighted) which read:
'ab urbe v[e]n[i] munus tibi gratum adf (e)ro acul[eat]um ut habe[a]s memor[ia]m nostra(m)
rogo si fortuna darlelt quo possem
largius ut longa via ceu sacculus est (v)acuus'
Translated as
I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift with a sharp point that you may remember me.
I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give) as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.'
This inscription is generally interpreted by scholars as a humorous, tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment by the giver of the cheapness of the gift.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j56ydp325adovobhwpkzc6sp/bafkreiflmumn37zldrqn4gepyqs55kamhvatkkpepk5tq56rqq4pssxb64)
Before she became a global icon with Blondie — 21yr old DEBBIE HARRY got her start in the psychedelic folk band ‘The Wind in the Willows’. Named after the children’s book they released an album in 1968 on Capitol Records. Their sound was described as "twee folk-psych-rock”.
He also bought into the SF Giants. They are all rotten.
Brown Eyed Susan@browneyedsusan.bsky.social · 2w agoJared Kushner's brother, Josh has bought the LA Lakers and hopefully, people will do the right thing and pretend they're dead. You can't love the team without addressing the owner. Take a stand
🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Atlantic: Raytheon and Lockheed, makers of Patriot, justify their concerns with intellectual property theft and technology transfer, but what they are really worried about is that Ukrainians will find a way to improve Patriot and produce it faster and for much less money than they do in US.
El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"
This is the kind of humor I have been seeking on Bluesky.
