How much household stuff can you move across 8 states, 1600+ miles, in a Chevy Sonic? 🚗

A lot as my wife and I established in Nov. 2020 at the height of COVID. 🗓️ #throwback

Anyway, sad to say goodbye to that car today. 🎁 #donation

Oz Pearlman calls himself "an honest conman". That means this White House Correspondents' Dinner will feature *two* conmen. 🥁

So, all the Iranians need to do is just sit back and wait out this fool?

Some art of the deal this. 🤦‍♂️

Let's not call it "Arc de Trump", OK? No need to lend even a whiff of class to that monstrosity.

Excellence in musical lyrics and composition, singing, acting, and all around good vibes. All in just this one 2¾-minute video.

It's in #Kannada but any true fan/connoisseur of #music from any background will enjoy it.

This Saturday I was fortunate to attend a live #Carnatic #classical music concert by renowned sisters Ranjani and Gayatri in #Udupi #India.

Great vocals accompanied by excellent violin, mrudangam, and ghatam. Two hours of heavenly #music. 🎶

They're on YT: https://youtube.com/@ranjanigayatri?si=-5GzIJYV2V-jO66k

We're going to see a rise in US Aspirin sales aren't we? Never mind the man is likely saying this just to cover up other medical issues, or just as likely to maintain his image.🥺

#tbt: Jan. 1st 2025, I'd just arrived in #Udupi #India on #sabbatical, a "baby"; knew no one. With Sri Krishna's grace, the Swamijis' guidance, and the kindness of hundreds, I now feel I belong and welcomed there. 🙏

Some pictures I took that day (PS alt text):

Train an AI on all of the tweets and "the true nature of the universe" is the least of what will emerge.

Is it still "viraaga" (detachment, dispassion) if all someone wants is to just make the best dang slides on deeply technical topics?

Asking for a friend of course. 😆
