Atlanta to Boston on this route, by car (1214 mi): 22 hr 39 min by car. Sapporo to Nagasaki, by train: 22 hr 2 min. You have to change train lines 5 times because there is no direct line from Sapporo to Nagasaki.

The thing that always got me about the push behind getting Paxton to primary Cornyn is that, it being Texas, there are dozens of Republicans in Congress and state govt who would pledge their loyalty to Trump and aren't blatantly crooked like Paxton, but he has to be the one.

I must admit that my experience ordering online for pick up from Walmart has been less than enjoyable. -App won't let me check in.-Customer service in store just told me to go back out & call the number.-Called number. Guy made a big deal of my Georgia area code.

Sometimes around 390 AD, an unnamed poet went to dine with the local Vandals, apparently hoping to recite some poetry. Unsurprisingly, this went very badly for him, and he wrote an epigram about it. The poem preserves one of just 2 sentences we have in the Vandalic language.

Stanley v. Sanford, the SCOTUS case that produced the infamous KBJ footnote, gave us an odd set of opinion alignments. Part III of Gorsuch's controlling opinion was a plurality that put him with Alito, Sotomayor, and Kagan. Thomas, Kav, Roberts, and Barrett didn't join.

Meanwhile, Sotomayor must have gutted them by telling KBJ, "You're on your own," in that case yesterday.
This segment is amazing—three purportedly intelligent law professors cannot even concieve of the idea that a fellow liberal just disagrees with them in individual cases. Worse still, they think it is RACIST for her to disagree as the only white liberal. They have lost the plot.

What a fine moment for this young man. Madison Cawthorn was it?. I'm sure he has nothing but a long and successful career in politics ahead of him.

It's amazing to read stories like this from Europeans and other outsiders who visit America.
We were in Colorado last week and I was struck by what is now an enormous disparity in wealth between the US and the UK. Spent a couple of nights in a cabin in an RV park - it had pools, slides, mini golf etc, fun for the kids. But the place was packed with RVs worth hundreds
