Lima itself has turned into a nice city, but the real treat is traveling through the provinces, depending on what you enjoy.

iirc its common for jewish american youth to take an extended trip to israel at some point, usually with a group of other youth, which can result in a summer-camp-like environment, occasionally yielding romance/crushes
obama's first trip to israel, etc

Taco Bell officials are excited about the offering. "In the past, before Roe v. Wade, young women literally had to 'make a run for the border' to terminate an unwanted pregnancy," Taco Bell public relations director Grant Lesko said. "But now, women can make that same run for the border at over 7,300 convenient locations right in their own hometowns."

Is this also the thread for talking about Onion TV shows?
I just watched the pilot of Onion News Empire on Amazon Prime and thought it was pretty solid, didn't blow me away, but a lot of good laugh lines skewering both the news and the genre of the newsroom drama. Was hard not to think about the fact that the criticism of Big Corporate Media was being funded by a Big Corporate something else that is trying to compete with Big Corporate Media, and that took a little of the bite out of it for me.
