I went to the Basque Country with @scarnecchia.net last year and I (finally) wrote about it. Check out my guide and restaurant recommendations at my newsletter, and don’t forget to subscribe if I amuse you: little-flying-robots.ghost.io/a/

Huh

we could start the annual Bluesky Begrudgingly Samples Cheesecake Factory Posting Festival

Also, the D.C. Cheesecake Factory-to-National Media pipline is real, having produced me, Ashley Parker of the Atlantic and Lynsea Garrison of the NYT. Kids, go wait tables or sling drinks at a bar for a summer or a year. It's a great bit of life experience with transferable skills. Not even kidding.

Anyway, I can personally vouch for the fact that at least some members of the Obama family are familiar with and seemingly fans of the Cheesecake Factory.

My friend Nicolette was at the POS computer and I wandered up to say hi. She said "turn around." Behind me were Malia and Sasha Obama and their grandmother Marian Robinson and some USSS officers trying to look inconspicuous. That was not the first and only time they visited.

I actually have important contributions to the Cheesecake Factory discourse. My first job in Washington was actually as a Cheesecake Factory server and bartender. One day in 2009 or 2010 I wandered in for my shift a bit early...

now I am haunted by the question of “has President Barack Obama ever eaten at a Cheesecake Factory.” Tbh, I would bet he’s been forced to go at least a few times during his campaigns throughout the Heartland, but he would never go of his own volition.

I (finally) watched the Mothman Prophecies, and I submit that no film has ever embodied the throbbing, dystopian essence of the year 2002 and its cinematography as much as that one did

was recently looking at the Pyramid of Caius Cestius in Rome and, enhance:

this is relevant to my interests

i'd love to know what was going on at the biden department of justice for four years

I've said this before but the most trouble I ever got in at school was when i left a notebook full of doodles in the classroom of my uptight math teacher. They called my mom because I drew a goth girl with no pupils wearing a "TEIN" shirt, wanting an explanation of whether that was a gang symbol

I want this little rodent behind bars for the rest of his life.

Prof Dayal is right: If you think the damage of these four years to diplomatic relations is bad, any amnesty or failure to achieve sufficient accountability for what has occurred will compound that longterm harm to US foreign relations incalculably. There will be only one chance to get it right.

Holding the Trump admin accountable for its crimes can seem distant, but there are meaningful steps both US domestic opposition & the international community can take, including supporting the ICC, enabling international investigations into disappearances & civilian deaths, & refunding foreign aid

Moreover, not one international partner can or should trust us until we demonstrate we can keep this from happening again bsky.app/profile/anja...

may I also introduce you to my friend Lycogala epidendrium, the wolf milk slime mold

forget 29, as soon as lula is in a room with trump this dude's on his way back

this is the best sales pitch for Olive Garden I’ve ever seen

ok I’m officially a member of the Fukuyama Fandom

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

I'm shocked to hear that @clapifyoulikeme.favrd.social is rabid would urge everyone to get their shots.

This is like how I've never seen Titanic. I'm not actively avoiding watching it, but it comes up in conversation now and then and after a while it feels like part of my personality.

you may not believe in Yudrap, but I’m afraid that Yudrap believes in you

this is literally what inspired the post

These poor parents.
