Nathaniel Hawthorne added the β€œw” to his family name because he was ashamed of his great-great-grandfather, a judge in the Salem witch trials.

My musician husband knows an old lady named Katherine from years ago who plays keyboard (He keeps up with her on FB). Apparently, she is doing a new Friday night gig in her hometown. She's calling it, "Keyboard Conversations with Katherine." Except she's replacing the C with a K.
How do we tell her?

Federal Suit Seeking Names of Some Jewish Employees at Penn Sparks Backlash

If the government asks for a list of Jews in your organization, you have an absolute ethical obligation to refuse that request, regardless of who is asking or what they say it's for. They have no right to ask and you have no right to comply.

Why Donald Trump Seems Taken With Zohran Mamdani

Why Donald Trump Seems Taken With Zohran Mamdani Michael Powell

This was one of several moments in the press conference that felt more like a Saturday Night Live skit than a newscast. But perhaps all this was not as improbable as it looked and sounded. Trump bellows and insults and demeans, but so much of that is an act, guff and bullying. His earlier talk of Mamdani as β€œmy little communist mayor” even carried an odd hint of affection, and there was evident admiration in the way in which he spoke of Mamdani’s unlikely mayoral victory. These men are, in their very different ways, populists, Queens men, and sometimes statists; they share a disdain for political establishments. And Trump, the developer, is aware of the extremely high cost of New York real estate, a focus of Mamdani’s campaign.

Every article by a 'savvy' political analyst reads like a focus group transcript with a low-information voter.

[They] recommend flu shots for anyone who comes into contact w/ domestic or wild birds. The vaccine can’t protect against bird flu, but it reduces the chance that someone could get sick w/ both viruses at once & cause the bird flu virus to mutate into something that would spread easily among humans

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

When I worked at a bookstore, I quickly learned that people cannot tell the difference between Xmas music and any Baroque or Elizabethan music album that doesn't get too organ-ish. I used this to my advantage.

One customer caught on... AND THANKED ME

Right! But this stupid birth practice is not even historically accurate. Pregnant women in the past have always relied on midwives & community members across cultures and regions. This free birth thing is just a whole different level of stupidity.

Fire erupts on cargo ship at the Port of Los Angeles, triggering major emergency at North America’s busiest port | CNN More than 180 firefighters battled a fire that erupted Friday evening on a cargo ship docked at the Port of Los Angeles, self-described as North America’s busiest port.

Stay safe, friends in San Pedro!

β€œGet inside IMMEDIATELY and close all windows and doors. Turn off air conditioning and heating. Bring all people and pets to an inside room until you receive further instructions,” the fire department said, citing hazardous materials related to the fire on the ship
