Trump administration accepts Qatari 747 to serve as Air Force One
Even loud objections from (some) Republican members of Congress isn’t enough to rein in this administration’s blatant corruption.
Prediction: this jet will never fly as Air Force One. It’s going to cost more and take longer to retrofit for security and defense than the Trump people are claiming.

Worst interviewee tic: responding to every single question with “Yeah…well, ,,,” You’re stalling for time while you think of an answer, we know that’s what you’re doing, so just BE QUIET for two seconds to think and then answer. Thank you for coming to my Ted Rant.

Finished: Mawson’s Will, by Lennard Bickel 📚. The story of Douglas Mawson’s desperate slog across the Antarctic (featuring, among other things, the excess-Vitamin-A-induced sloughing off of the soles of his feet) remains one of the great tales of human endurance. If you’re not familiar with it, you ought to be, and this is a great retelling of the story.
