Election Days are like going to the nice restaurant you've been looking forward to but all they serve for the first several hours is bean sprouts. There's just not a lot of actual knowledge or nourishment to be gained until they start counting votes.

President Trump on U.S. aid to Israel: "We were giving them $4 billion. We are. But it gets cut off at the end of the year. Why? Because they don't need it. "Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like El-Sayed when they don't need it? It's a bad talking point."

Some of Boston's neighborhoods are like their own countries. Particularly when GWH was filmed. Have met people who grow up in Southie (or Dorchester, etc.) who've never ventured even to downtown Boston, let alone to Cambridge. It's weird, but it's real.

I love that scene in Good Will Hunting where Ben Affleck is talking to Matt Damon's titular character Will Hunting and he's like “you've got a gift man and you've gotta get outta this town and make something of yourself” and the gift in question is being really good at math and the town he needs to get out of is Boston, Massachusetts.

if the largest exchange in crypto can lose more than $6 billion from a single employee's laptop, we're a clown car of an industry and should honestly take the ball and go home, surely there has to be something more complex than this at play, otherwise wtf are we doing here?
