BREAKING
Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading?
IT'S HAPPENING.
James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

a really exciting account, Tom. I had no idea the mission was so, uhh...insane.
ultimately, the whole thing is horrifying, then sickening. I find it impossible not to start thinking about what people are talking about when they discuss things like using "tactical" nukes. how do these "tactical" nukes measure up when they're compared with the two 1945 bombs? I don't know at all and the whole thing is so upsetting that I don't want to do the required research. I realize this is lazy.
one TINY correction: Puccini (I remembered that he hated to travel and only did so when he had to for "business"(( meaning financial)) reasons) didn't visit Japan. the person who went there to soak up "atmosphere" was Illica, his extremely embattled (Puccini was always a pain in the ass for his collaborators) librettist. the story itself had already been a successful novel and hit play by David Belasco.
if my memory has failed me in this matter, I'll let you know after my new copy of Julian Budden's biography arrives next week.
