It was a while ago, but IIRC from the year I lived in Dublin, actual Irish people often ordered Black & Tans, which is an apt description of the color and provenance of the ingredients. (But I personally preferred snakebites). TOTALLY agree about the vileness of "car bombs" though!

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

In all seriousness, I do celebrate Louis Armstrong on July 4th and I'll be listening to his recordings all day. Probably my favorite music artist ever. Here's his recipe for red beans and rice that I've made before on this day.

Louis Armstrong famously claimed to have been born on July 4th, 1900

🎆🎂🎇

Turns out this was a branding gimmick; his real DOB was a year and a month later.

But #Jazz is the only aspect of the American experiment that still feels like an unalloyed good this week, so I'll give Pops a pass!

On July 4th, 1826 John Adams & Thomas Jefferson, two members of the Committee of Five, authors of the Declaration of Independence, died 50 years to the day after its adaptation in 1776.
I found their dual obituary randomly folded deep inside my copy of book published in 1757. (1/2)

I'm sure it's mainly branding/marketing, but IIRC, you can get a direct flight there to many South American destinations that otherwise would require a stopover. Miami is similar in that regard.

One thing to bear in mind: the distance hints seem to based on capital cities, or geographic centers. For example, if the pic shows something in Canada, and your 1st guess is USA, it will say you're off my thousands of kilometers, even though they're adjacent countries. Good luck!

Tangent, but you said you're from Louisiana originally? A lot of my Nola friends make a big deal of insisting on "street cars", and dismissing "trolley" as the mark of a transplant. But I think that's a rather recent distinction? Earlier New Orleanians seem to use both terms interchangeably.

I'm a brain doc (Consultation-Liaison psych). For *years* Trump's shown uninterrupted, increasingly severe cognitive symptoms: he's incapable of linear thought at baseline. Whatever disrupted Biden's linear thought in the debate is at worst intermittent. Bonus: he's not an overt fascist.
