Mentally noted. At some point, this taco fever will break but right now that's my focus.

I low-key love it when it rains on vacation, then I don't feel guilty about not doing anything all day

In the wake the revelation that a member of the Supreme Court is an insurrectionist and election denier, this is basically the best response supporters of the opposition party can seem to muster. American politics is profoundly unserious.

My favorite things about Uzbekistan, so far: 1. The people are incredible 2. History & scenery in Samarkand 3. The tea — goodness gracious the tea 4. 240 KPH rail between Tashkent and Samarkand 5. Plov - the national dish

I wanted something like the collared 2017 kit but in blue or green. Something akin to this. But the new ones are growing on me, especially in concert with the powder blue shorts.

Damn, 2024 is apparently the year of the beef! Apparently, Stephan A. Smith hates Jason Whitlock almost as much as I hate the Portland Timbers.

I spent some time this morning reading about the case in Texas and then looking at abortion laws in Saudi Arabia and other states in the region. In doing so, I stumbled across this gem of a headline in Haaretz.

Flights to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl are bananas right now. Alaska added six additional round trips and they sold out in about 20 minutes. Prices into Baton Rouge, Biloxi, and Pensacola are also about $1500.

I copped this two player game this week at a local board game store and I already adore it. You can learn it in under ten minutes. Games last about twenty. It has a fun double reveal & then switch hands mechanic that keeps things even and interesting. Yes, this is my 3rd time trying to post this 🤣.

There's a thread on Reddit in my hometown about the local police carrying out a work slow down. Came across this gem. Wish I could by them a beer. www.reddit.com/r/Tacoma/s/U...

I didn't realize my phone is stuck in Iranian Standard Time (they're half an hour behind GST) and I just rolled into work twenty minutes late, 😆.

Armenia is a delightful country, awash in history and natural beauty. Yerevan, the capital, passes the "Nate Travel Test" with flying colors. Can you easily find the following: - 2 USD espresso - 2 USD local wine - Dinner for two on the street for 10 USD - Other Black tourists chilling

Better yet, that price 299₹ is sub 4 USD.

If it pleases the court, I would like to enter into evidence Exhibit A: The waterfall inside the Pearl at the majestic Changi Airport in Singapore.

Today is my last day in the country. So I started off right with steak, bacon, and cheese.

The natural scenery, LOTR sites, and the football in New Zealand are all wonderful. But I wanna take a moment to shout out these MF'n pies.
