Same coin with better lighting. It’s quite well preserved.

This means Obama had to (try to) make much bigger and more radical changes. But that was not realistic because of path dependency, etc.

There’s not a lot of things on which I’d agree with Charlie Kirk but on the idea of an invasion of Iran I fully agree with his stance

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

We’ve been to Roma for a long weekend and we decided that we will do that every year at least once.

Palatine hill. Where it all started 2800 years ago.

My take is that the US will be 100% replaced by around 2040.

In many key aspects, much earlier, by around 2030.

Trump in 2011: β€œOur president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”

Curious that the US is threatening ambassadors apparently with physical violence. America is well down the road of the barbarism that it is purposely fighting against.

Opinion | Gen X, It’s Time to Worry About Retirement On the sorry state of retirement savings in the United States, and a policy that could help.

β€œThe oldest members of Gen X are approaching 65, and their financial situation β€” the amount of savings they currently have, when they expect to start collecting Social Security β€” may be worse than that of their Boomer counterparts,” Jessica Grose writes.

This is why I used to drill students on the difference between β€œpreemptive” and β€œpreventive” attack. Unless Israel had intelligence that an attack from Iran was imminent, this was not a preemptive attack.

Incredulous, I looked up the museum’s legend and found out what it is according to the museum: it’s not Caracalla and indeed it’s a figure of woman

When I pushed back Gemini insisted that indeed it is Caracalla.

Another example of how bad Gemini can sometimes be. According to it this was a statue of the Roman Emperor Caracalla.
