“If you're baffled as to why
they're murdering health
workers in Gaza, it’s because
they are the people who will
testify in court as to what has
been done. They are killing the
witnesses.”
Liam Cunningham

@kyleniemeyer Thank you! I just handled 300 copies while signing those and it was kind of surreal and wonderful. Usually an author only sees a handful of copies. The binding and printing is very good—all praise to the craftspeople.

@exchgr I did a Centarl Europe tour in late November 2022 with my older child…paid < $100/night in five major cities for room with two beds, sometimes including an elaborate breakfast. (The one in Prague had *three rooms of food* in a modest place.) Sometimes only visitors in museums…uncrowded restaurants. Just glorious. Venice was still insane in early December, though cheap. Hotel's breakfast room overlooked Grand Canal.

Hot take: Dan Bongino is quitting the FBI to return to podcasting because every day he goes to work he's confronted with the fact he's an incompetent lout, the dumbest person in any given room; but by returning to the shameless lying meathead huckster shtick that he pioneered, and thanks to Zuck putting a foot on the scales, he'll be back to the top of Facebook impressions on day one.

The most genuine of American success stories: always failing upward.

Solar was the leading source of electricity in the EU last month, says report | CBC News

Coal generation fell to a record low during June 2025, and experts say that the EU's power system is changing. The picture is very different in Canada, where solar is still a small share of total electricity generation.
