FRANKFURT — According to sources, Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike reportedly wants to play for the Cameroonian national team over the French. Ekitike, who is on loan at Frankfurt from Stade Reims, is a youth international for France, having played with the France U20s. He is eligible for France from his birth and Cameroon from his mother. Ekitike inked a loan deal from PSG to Frankfurt over the winter, which includes an option to buy him for $32 million.

Socrates believed that humans are born with innate abilities. Today, scholars such as Steven Pinker, Frederik deBoer, and Paige Harden would invoke behavioral genetics to describe why this is the case, but Socrates was a philosopher who died in 399 BC, and his belief in human nature emerged from observation and dialogue. Common sense, if you will, not scientific studies. Socrates believed that humans have a soul that they inherent and that lives on after their body dies.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Dips are an elite food. They can be an appetizer. They can be a snack. If you feel like it on a particular day, they can be a whole meal. They can be spread on sandwiches. They make you look at other food and say, “Could I dip this in that?” Dips invite enterprise and playfulness—two things I’m always happy to have more of in my life.

I am still upset about the firing of humorist Andy Borowitz at The New Yorker. It is infecting my work, as I continually wonder what will happen next with the magazine. This post is again about the importance of humor in these challenging times. I am going to try to post more drawing videos online. Join me over on Youtube as a subscriber if you like, it’s free. The more subscribers I have there, the more I can potentially do with that platform, from what I understand.

The need to feel special is something that most people have, though it is likely meant to be satisfied by a small number of people - close friends and family. But social media has made it that some now need the approval not merely of those who know us intimately, but of every person ever. For some people, especially those with extreme wealth, the desire to be special is met not necessarily with fame, but rather with access to things that are exclusive.

Dear reader, My home is unlike any other. When I compare it to other places I’ve known and lived, nothing comes close. Today, I watched a herd of cows tread slowly across the ridgeline while the morning fog rolled in. In the distance, my landmate rode his bicycle across the field, heading to dip in the creek after a sauna. He was naked, except for a sweatshirt and a backpack. Another landmate once told me that this look is called “shirt-cocking” — T.

I remember the way we talked right after the 9/11 attacks, and how we talked in the ensuing months and years. I remember the shared horror and grief over the massacre at the World Trade Center and elsewhere, but also the things that weren’t shared, like the decision about what to do in response, a decision that was supported almost unanimously by power but opposed by masses of people, even as it was cheered by masses more.

During a June 5, 2018, meeting of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, District 8 supervisor Jeff Sheehy had concerns about one of two nominees up for appointments to the Police Commission. Shockingly, it wasn’t John Hamasaki. Known for his off-the-rails Twitter rants and a haphazard run for district attorney, the controversial private criminal defense lawyer left his post last April knowing he wouldn’t be reappointed. At that 2018 meeting, Sheehy told his colleagues that he supported Hamasaki’s nomination, while he had concerns about the second nominee, labor attorney and former public defender Cindy Elias.

I had a mammogram in December, and it seemed sketchy (Latin term), so the radiologist and his crew invited me back for a second go at it. The second one revealed more about the little dot they had seen the first time, so they followed up with an ultrasound. Long story short, I saw a breast surgeon today about Little Dotty because my GP asked me to, and … ncG1vNJzZmiokanBqrDIoJ9nq6WXwLWtwqRlnKedZL1wtYyapGafoqTAtLjYZqynqpWirrO3wJujng%3D%3D
