Here's a list of people you may respect. All of them are guilty of the same thing - they said the people who correctly predicted what Trump was going to do as president were alarmists who were unjustifiable crying wolf. Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Bret Stephens, Jon Stewart, David Brooks, Josh Barro

The mosque in my town is named for Omar ibn Said. Today I learned that he was an Arabic scholar from West Africa who was captured and enslaved at the age pf 37. He ended up here, where he wrote several books, including an autobiography. He is buried in a neighboring county. He died in 1864.

Alright, I’m just going to say it. Flexing about how little you use a mouse because of your incredible keyboard dexterity is one of the geekiest things computer people do. Not going to rag on emacs and vim, because I don’t want anyone to come to my hose and kill me, but they’re weird too.

This is what we eat on New YearsDay where I am from.That's black eyed peas, collard greens, cornbread and ham. Every time I have ever eaten it, I have lived to see the next NewYears Day, so it obviously is more than just superstition. It actually works. Y'all got anything like that?

Actual social media post from the US Government. There are only 45 million foreign born people n the US. That means the fuckers are looking for a final solution to some other problem. Dissent, maybe? Too many black and brown people?

Punch Nazis.

Good advice. Take it. Never give in. Be the person you say you are.

These small open air cafes, called sodas in Costa Rica, are everywhere. They serve all three meals, lunch & dinner consisting of rice, a protein and a salad plus a few sweet plantains.

Seeing this wild scarlett macaw in its natural habitat was 100% a bucket list moment. #Birds #CostaRica https://social.lol/tags/Birds https://social.lol/tags/CostaRica

Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948, commemorated with a national holiday every Dec. 1. Instead they prioritize national budget investments in areas such as education, healthcare, and environmental conservation. Isn’t that awesome?

Look what we spotted on a morning walk! This place is a bird watching paradise. #Birds https://social.lol/tags/Birds
