The Supreme Court rules that the President is above the law for anything deemed an "official act." What a disgrace.

French toast isn't french. It's named after an American named Joseph French. German chocolate cake isn't German. It's named after an American named Samuel German.

I love ghost signs, for some reason, and the Provençal village of l'Isle sur la Sorgue is full of them. According to Perplexity AI, the signs indicate furniture stores, a shoe store and a hardware store.

Juneteenth isn't just a black thing. It's a celebration of the end of slavery in America. If you're happy that slavery ended, then you should be happy about Juneteenth. Personally, I believe American slavery should never have existed, and I happily celebrate its termination. You?

People who do things to "kill time": Time is the most precious, limited, valuable thing we have. Why would you want to kill it?

Bad take of the moment: Mistral AI is "ready to dethrone" OpenAI because it has raised $1 billion. (Open AI has raised $16 billion, more than all other top-funded AI startups combined.)

Microsoft's MSN is a garbage news source. They not only promote AI-generated trash, they also trick Google Search into displaying very old stories, even if you search for news published in the last 24 hours. They're just wasting everyone's time and tarnishing the Microsoft brand. Why?

Where I'm at: We're currently living in a old house in the center of L'Isle sur la Sorgue in Provence. The spring-water Sorge river splits in two, then rejoins, forming an island. That's why it's called L'Isle sur la Sorgue (The island on the Sorgue).
