As I wait for St Pete govt in FL to clean up my hurricane debris from September, I’ve been reminded of how gloomy DC gets for 6 months of the year… It would be nice if St Pete government was as interested in making our homes habitable as it is in a bad Rays deal. ☀️ sounds nice.

Also, Assad is either at a Russian air base in northwest Syria or en route to Moscow. He and his family are likely more attuned to life in Russia than Iran.

Just a reality check about #Syria. There can’t be a “return to democracy” in a country that’s never been one in its history. Also, multiple rebel factions control different parts of the country. These groups have divergent interests. It’s a positive sign for the USA that the Iran/Russia proxy 1/x

So let me get this straight: Iran has been weakened and Hezbollah bled dry through American and Israeli action. Russia is bleeding out in Ukraine. Because of these things the Assad regime is potentially collapsing, US-allied forces control all the oil in Syria and this isn’t a win? 1/x

One thing I’ve enjoyed so far over here is my head doesn’t spin from the sheer stupidity of armchair economists who probably can’t even calculate a tip properly, as it was/is on the other platform. Argentina ≠ America. And I generally am ok with Milei!

I’m reminded in weird ways that I’m displaced from my home in FL because of two hurricanes. Exhibit A: Spending more on tolls in a weekend in NoVa than I’ve spent in FL in two years. At least the roads are better paved. Welcome back!

It’s interesting how most people I know who claim to be independent thinkers completely parrot their community’s groupthink.

Figured I’d try this thing out!
