I will be right there with you. '27 is my estimate for when it happens.

RIP Len Deighton.

Deighton's working class spys in books such as the Ipcress File & Funeral in Berlin were a major shift in the literature of espionage...but for me, his best work was Bomber.

And the reason: my father pilot & Squadron Leader in Bomber Command during WW2, thought it was the best depiction of what he had gone through, he ever read & this from a man who refused for the most part to discuss his role in what he had subsequently concluded was a war crime.

Am I the only person noticing that the quality of things sold at Costco isn't what it used to be? I've had 3 purchases over the past six months (wildly different things) that all failed me.

Damn. What world are we living in when the hill you choose to die on is the right to make a Nazi salute?

It is terrifying to see this level of mental decline in the "President".

At 3:56 p.m. Eastern time, Donald Trump sat behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office, surrounded by yes-men on either side and the press directly in front of him. He told the world that someone else was the president of the United States and shared a completely fabricated conversation he claimed to have had with a past president. One so absurd that by evening, representatives from all four living Presidents had issued strong statements rejecting his lie. He claimed it twice today...

How in the world is swift deportation to a country where you have no ties and may not even speak the language NOT a violation of the 8th amendment? That's the cruel and unusual amendment.

If you have any interest in the current illegal U.S. / Iran war, I highly, highly recommend Krugman and O'Brien's discussion.

The best take away was this discussion of WW II vs Ukraine "For one year it was 80 or 90,000 aircraft. Ukraine’s gonna make 7 million drones this year."
