It's all about sociology, politics & power, education, the NBA, MLB, F1, hiking, dance, music, sewing and other needle arts. The Ph.D. adds nuance. Vegan. Most recent professor gig was at the U of MO-Columbia. Now living in the southern Rockies. NO DMs.

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents?

NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of'

The death toll from the Iran school tragedy has hit 148, mostly children aged 7–12, with 95 others wounded. A staggering, unforgivable loss that defines our current moral decay.

Our taxes

Our taxes

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

OMFG. I wouldn't trust her to make me a sandwich. This is Donald Trump giving a middle finger to the UN ... and proof we're in a simulation.

It’s definitely not the Republicans in Congress. They seem to be fine with it.

If Iran has a full copy of the Epstein Files, they should release them. They’ll do more damage than any ballistic missile.

WATCH: First lady Melania Trump presides over UN Security Council as U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran continue U.S. first lady Melania Trump presided over a U.N. Security Council meeting on Monday focusing on children in conflict, one of her signature issues, and acknowledged she was doing so at “challenging t...

The hypocrisy is astonishing. As bombs reigned down in Iran, killing 165 girls attending school, Melania Trump had the unmitigated gall to speak of a need to protect children & their access to education & technology in conflict zones.

I actually owe Trump and Hegseth an apology. I mocked them for renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, but they’ve sure made that new name an accurate one.

Donald Trump would rather talk about his ballroom curtains than the tragic loss of American lives.

One massive difference between 1930s Germany & 2020s America is that Germans didn't have 90 years of news, books, films & documentaries warning how a shameless liar could use scapegoating, xenophobia, racism & media to persuade them that a dictator would make their country greater than a democracy.

an ngram chart showing that (at least as far I can determine) backseat has always run a distant second to back seat as a noun

Which will surely amuse all the writers who have, for aeons, hated their copy editors for imposing "backseat."

Though it doesn't seem, really, to have worked.

Here's an odd thing a colleague pointed out: Merriam-Webster has, in MW 12, uncompounded a longstanding compound—that is, what had long been backseat (as a noun) is now back seat, with backseat pushed to the "less commonly" position.
