I certainly advocated for action in Iraq in the early 2000s. I have a naive world view, informed I guess by a lot of 90s American media output, about America saving the world, Iraq was one of those opportunities.

Flights aren’t exhausting now - indeed it’s 20 hours of calm Reading a book and sleeping, perhaps moreso in first than in business but business isn’t that bad. The time zone change is another thing. Compare with the g-forces of a suborbita

It’s forbidden to carry the car keys, let alone drive the car. But Jewish people do seem to be good at creating loopholes — it’s forbidden to press the button for the elevator, so the elevator stops at every floor so you don’t need to. It’s

“More diapers are sold for the elderly than for children.” That’s an amazing annecdote Today is my grandparents 95th birthday. They spent it crying that their child shoved them in a home (it wasn’t, the judge forced it), believing they live
