Not the major takeaway but it's linguistically interesting how Trump has likely destroyed any cultural attraction to the sentence "Thank you for your attention to this matter" through repeated use.

It's like the rhetorical equivalent of Hitler's mustache.

They kind of already did when they said POTUS can commit crimes as long as they are "official acts".

"Invaluable" is certainly a word choice to describe a system where the resulting payout is constantly calculated to the penny.

Anyone know what company the government contracts to make these banners? It can't be a long list.

When he tries to run for a third term, I bet Trump will use the SCOTUS ruling in Trump v. Anderson to say that states can't bar him from the ballot under the 22nd amendment, either.

The SCOTUS gift that keeps on giving.

Correction, "Race at Morning"

Attn White House: for a low six figures I will name your military operations for you, granting you an immediate increase in respectability across academic circles and a bump in approval ratings.

For example, this one should have been a sly reference to Faulkner's "The Hunt."

The sweet lies we tell ourselves

Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick must resign - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick’s alleged misconduct includes using a portion of federal disaster funds to fund her 2021 campaign.

BREAKING: We are calling on Rep. Shiela Cherfilus-McCormick to resign—who allegedly stole $5 million in federal disaster funds, using a portion of it to fund her 2021 campaign.

The evidence from the House Ethics Committee's investigation is damning.

Not letting the treadmill reset is next-level refusing to rerack your weights. It literally does it for you, just don't smash the emergency stop and bounce like a chump.

The Hunt for Dark Breakfast With a theoretical model of breakfast, can we derive the existence of “dark breakfasts,” breakfasts that we know must exist, but have never observed?

"Eric" is short for "Esoteric" (Esoterica if you're a lady).

I have been at work for 14 hours.

Legally they may have to, but I resent journalists referring to Jan 6th as a "riot". It may be technically accurate but I find it insufficient at best and misleading at worst.

"Riot" suggests spontaneity and chaos, while for many it was planned and very objective-oriented.

Netflix refused to carry the documentary The Sixth in 2024 because they didn't want to be seen as being political, so good chance Rice will be pressured to step down.

Why I Sued to Have a Jan. 6 Memorial Installed in Congress This is about more than a plaque, it’s about our national memory.

I wrote about my efforts to get the January 6th memorial plaque installed, and what exactly it means.

I always wondered why more parents don't do this. If I had to foster the growth of an aggressive organic sonic weapon I'd have some real nice ear pro.

A lot of people don't realize this but the hyperinflation in higher education over the decades mainly goes to making your degree comically large.

Middle TN rather than Appalachia, but close enough.
