Get in Babkans, those of you on micro.blog, and other fedizens, we're doing Tuesday.

There's some real breakfast of champions energy going on over here, because John and I are going to dig into some steak egg and cheese breakfast burritos. Also, we're getting our haircuts today.

Also, I like presidents who are honest about when they disagree with Israel's government, instead of the ones who gush about the special relationship between Israel and the US in public while they order their lackies in congress to stab Israel in the back when they think no one's watching.

I literally crashed about 10 minutes after that post, woke up at 10, and have been awake ever since.
