Quarantine Cafe: Homeless Nomadic Edition
— Ace

Biden treats the White House press corps in an age-appropriate way, arranging a visit from the easter bunny for them:

Dad teaches his son something about being a man:

French bulldog has tantrums, sasses owner into giving her what she wants. I don't know if this is cute or just as insufferable as it would be in a child.

Hand-raising a baby bat who fell down a chimney until he can fly.

That's all for now. I'm having trouble figuring how how to post urls.

72 A backup blog--impressive forethought. AOSHQ has been billed as one of the smartest and most on-the-ball blogs on the planet, and thus far you have fully lived up to that reputation. It's nice to see some pros operating in this space, because most bloggers and pundits fall somewhere on the potato scale.
I totally get not being able to answer this for opsec reasons, but have you considered having a Plan B that's not hosted in a Five Eyes country? My understanding is that Swiss digital privacy laws are, fittingly, rather good and a fair few hosting providers have set up shop there. Might be handy if our agency frenz start getting extra sporty...but it's not cheap, either.

118 Rappaport is a piece of shit, he always talks about being happily married and loving his wife, but a few years back while working on a movie here he would routinely pass his number to every girl on set and tell them where his hotel was. He wasn't even smooth about it, while the other (single) actor would at least have a conversation, Rappaport was a step above a caveman who would basically walk up to a girl and just make hump motions.

218 I'm too lazy to look up this 60 Minutes nonsense, but if they're dumping on DeSantis for looking out for his people then they can go suck a fat one. The senior Plussites are thinking about moving to Florida when they retire in the near future, and in just a few short months I've gone from "Florida sucks, can't y'all do better than Florida Man and a bunch of "moderate" NYC commies?" to "wow, I wish I lived in Florida because they can still do stuff."

I hate coronamayhem as much as the next guy but it's kind of perversely fascinating to see, in real time, which regions truly care about individual liberty when the rubber hits the road and which were just putting on a show when the going was easy. I am rarely wrong and I was wrong on this one, so I'm seriously thinking about writing DeSantis a sort of apology letter for doubting his allegiance and explaining why I, as a longtime resident of the Midwest recently returned to the South, have more reason than most to pay attention to this sort of thing.

China last week signed a $400 billion, 30-year investment deal with Iran. American sanctions against Iran are effectively nullified. Chinaâ€™s state press declared, "As it stands, this deal will totally upend the prevailing geopolitical landscape in the West Asian region that has for so long been subject to US hegemony.â€ As former Indian diplomat MK Bhadrakumar reports in Asia Times, Chinese state media declare that China will trade with Iran and other Central Asian currencies in its own currency, bypassing the dollar-based world banking system. U.S. leverage against Iran is gone. It was obvious for the past year that China might play the Iran card.
