Question for folk not currently in the U.S.A. - when you are on Google maps and look at that chunk of water south of Texas .. does it say America or Mexico?
If it says America - why isn’t Google treating the issue like all other mapping disputes .. or did the other 95% of the world agree?
Working both sides of the aisle .. t Rump demonstrates that he’s for everyone … providing they are corrupt.
No .. the beer is ‘craft’ not ‘draft’ and apparently the manager isn’t in here tonight so no - we can’t tell you the public wifi password that we advertise - nobody knows it.

I have to keep reminding myself that there were wise people in the world … there still are. It just doesn’t seem to be catching.
🖇️ How to Achieve Immortality - Ted Gioia
"In ancient times, you attained immortality by doing great deeds.
Today you attain immortality by getting blood transfusions from teenagers, and freezing your body for later revival.
Needless to say, there’s a huge difference between these two strategies."
Too True Ted. Too True. https://open.substack.com/pub/tedgioia/p/how-to-achieve-immortality
