CIRCLE WITH A DOT

As such, it is easy to poke fun at JD Vance allegedly bringing a planeload of American food with him to Italy, a country known for its cuisine. But seriously, I assume it is standard practice for leaders or vice-leaders of the great powers (US, RU, CH) (and sure, let's add the very paranoid KP to that) to bring their own food with them on foreign trips, to minimise any risk?In the US case, I would not be surprised if Obama, Biden, and Harris did it, too. Would love to be proven wrong, of course.Also, I wonder how very formal and high-level dinners, like on State Visitis to the UK, are handled. Does the US president in that case eat what the Brits offer, or are they just pretending to, and in fact they have their own staff in the kitchen putting their guaranteed safe food on the same plates as those used for other guests?

Decisions, decisions. #beerOnTrains

@ProjectFearlessness They call *that* a "tiny" Italian street? Obviously they have never been to rural Italy.

Voi ei, jonkun kirjakaupan kissa on kuollut. Aika söpöä.

I guess this is one of those streets in front of schools that especially progressive Americans keep exaggerating about in their posts on social media: “Paris closes streets near schools from cars”. Sure, this is a street by a school, and it is closed for cars. But it is barely 100 m long and on the other side of the school are still normal streets.Sure, every step towards reducing the impact of cars on a city is good. But let’s not exaggerate.

Now in the ICE to Frankfurt. Let’s hope the French keep their high-speed lines in better condition than the Spaniards.
